Original Music in Popular Styles Written from a Christian Perspective
Did you know that Carter is the 42nd most popular last name in the U.S.? Or that Robert is the 3rd most popular 1st name?!?!?!?!? Well I asure you that if you are looking for a guy that loves Jesus, writes music to worship and glorify the Father Son and Holy Spirit AND writes...4th and 5th grade band music...? I'M your man!!! These days I have mostly been doing occassional solo gigs as I court the lovely and talented Mindy Schott (my girlfriend of 6 months.) I do orriginal contemporary worship and pop rock orriginals from a Christian perspective. There's just enough humor, sincerity, and vulnerability to keep the audience attentive as I share my Christian experience in an attempt to meet people where they are and bring them closer to God. With the band, we do a lot of "secular" rock covers with a Christ centered focus. That way, people are bound to hear the songs again and have the seed watered.

Story behind the song
I was thinking back to some things that were said to me as a kid, and only as an adult realizing what the adults were talking about.
Lyrics
FOOD FOR THOUGHT(THE DOUGHNUT SONG)  -Rob -Carter- 1996 As a boy I remember words of wisdom my Gramp would say; "Keep your eye upon the doughnut, not upon the hole!" Since that time, I have eaten many doughnuts and learned to pray.- One has satisfied the hunger that I had in my soul ...AND IT WASN'T THE DOUGHNUT!!! As a child, "Never bite the hand that feeds you!" my mom would say. I didn't understand-. To my knowledge, I'd never bitten her. Now that I'm Old enough to feed myself, best stay out of my way!- 'Cause if you make me mad then I might just mistake you for my desert... AND BITE YOUR HEAD OFF!!! Chorus I So tell me why it is At the dinner table so much wisdom was offered me. -But at the time I just took the food and ate it. Now humble pie, it seems, is the dish most often served to me. I know that I would be in better shape If I'd only listened more than I ate!!! Verse II Jesus said "Anyone who wants to follow must eat my flesh." Many turned away.- If they'd only known the meal they would miss... The Wedding Feast Will be so much greater than anyone could guess.- If you want to go then you really better listen to this and never forget it! Chorus II Listen to the words of the ones who love you.- When you've heard what they offer you, I guarantee you will never regret it. Food for thought can fill you with wisdom that no doughnut will! This song has been a little dumb, I confess-. I really hope the message you will digest!
