Influences
Unconditional love ... life ... forgiveness ... nature ... grace ... music ... and kindness.
Most of all, Jesus. He set me free from my sin, my past, myself, and even the religious chains I later forged.
Hooters Video - think about it, that's all I ask

Sounds Like
Beauty
So this is what it looks like on the other side of the veil / This is what it feels like to have my spirit raised like a sail / The tree was pierced by the nail that held you there and Your blood flowed down / Our hearts were pierced by Your word and by Your prayer and we could only bow down / The time of the veil has ended / The secret place has been found / The cares of this world are behind now / Your blood has bought this holy ground / Beauty dripping from heaven / Beauty adorning Your bride / Beauty filling our hearts now / And in Your beauty we'll abide.
I was on a path of self-destruction....until Jesus reached in!!
Religion wasn't the answer, in fact, that was what almost killed the new life I found in following Christ.
The answer was RELATIONSHIP! That was why Jesus died (and rose again)...so my Father in Heaven could live through me, talk through me, sing through me, and love through me.
And I hope you will be encouraged by my story to open yourself up to God (if you haven't already). Oh, maybe you are already open to Him...but is He on your terms or are you on His?! That's what makes all the difference.
If you'd like to take the time, I shared an intimate part of my life and heart on a blog entitled "My Story". I hope it blesses you.
My heart's desire is to see those who have been broken and bruised by religion, whether Christian or otherwise, feel the love of the Father for them, to understand the purpose of Christ's sacrifice, and to walk in the spiritual authority that comes with being a son or daughter of the King. I hope and pray that would be the result of the music.
Please feel free to contact me at "willrevo@yahoo.com" if you have any questions or have been burned out and need some encouragement. I'd love to hear from you and share the journey with you.
Here's some of the music the Lord has given me to share with you...
"TRAVEL THE CAVE" reflects the journey towards the heart of God through the trials and blessings of life. Many of the songs are heartfelt prayers of intimacy or expressions of the discoveries made on the journey.

Hi Will, last night my family and I led worship for an African Apostle and I was admonishing the people to put their ears on the chest of G-d and listen to His heartbeat. Good to know that there are passionate, intimate worshippers out there that want to stay around Him all the time.
Hey man it's been a while. How's it going? During my wife's pregnancy all recordings got put on hold. I recording again and hope to be finished by the end of summer. Hope to finally meet some day. You ever come to Texas?
I can't believe it I have many friends in Couer D Alene. What church are you out of? What brought you to NC?
