By The Blood Of The Lamb by Peter Liam Holcross

It looks ahead, through Jesus' own words and those of the Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians, to the time of Christ's Return in Glory, and is a song of encouragement and hope to those who will still be here on earth at that time faithfully awaiting His arrival! "My personal goal is that 'Captain' will top the underground Christian charts during the Great Tribulation, whether I'm still here or not..." -Peter

Cut 2, "Thank You, Father", is a song of praise and thanks to the Father, Son and Spirit.

Cut 3, "Just Let Me Lay Down", calls out to the weary soul; just lay yourself down at the foot of Calvary's Cross.

Cut 4, "Sunrise" is a feel-good tune about finding the Lord and walking His "Highway of Holiness" (Isaiah 35:8)!

Cut 5, "Prodigal's Return", focuses on the candid love of the Father toward his returning wayward son in Jesus' own words from Luke 15; it's one of the most moving moments in the Scripture and demonstrates how much the Father, God Himself, loves each one of us as His own returning child. "...'Prodigal's Return' is written on a very personal level, since I find myself needing to return to the Father, in like manner, many times each day! How great and wonderful is our God..." Luke 15:20 is spoken during the song.

Cut 6, "Wings To Fly" seeks to loosen our grip on the things and cares of this world in order to get a taste of the freedom and exhilaration of "seeking those things which are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God" (Colossians 3:1). "Simply to Thy Cross I cling."

Cut 7, "Born Again!", celebrates 'the joy of the Lord' as our strength. No matter what else is going on, the joy of the Lord can be ours all the time, like the hour we first believed.

Cut 8, "B.O.T.D." is a harmonica-driven blues tune about that old "Destroying Angel", who "walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour"(I Peter 5:8) and the great protection we have (in spite of our own failures) in the precious Blood of the Lamb!...(the blood of a spotless lamb placed, according to God's command, on the doorpost of one's house caused the angel of death to pass over that house in Moses' day (Exodus 12), and the same applies to us today, "for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us." (I Corinthians 5:7)...If His Blood is On The Doorpost of our life.

Cut 9, "Spirit Of Christ", seeks the "rivers of living faith" as our hearts are warmed and melted by the mercy and love of the Spirit. But we need to be frankly honest with Him about our failure and need, as He is indeed the Spirit of Truth, and knows our need even before we ask!

Cut 10, "Revelations" looks into the midst of the throne of God where stood a "Lamb as it had been slain"; probably the rockiest song on the album...

Cut 11, "Walk With Me Lady", is an honest song glorifying Christian marriage and committment. "Husbands, love your wives" (Ephesians 5:25, Colossians 3:19)

Cut 12, "Just A Little Sin" is a friendly warning, mostly to myself. "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Proverbs 28:13 "If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin"! I John 1:7 & 8)

About the Artist:

Born in New York City, Peter Liam Holcross was an only child who was broken by his mother's death when he was 18. After a time of mental and spiritual pain and searching, Peter was led by a life-altering dream, and some very surrendered Christians, into the overwhelming grace and love of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that amazing love has filled his life abundantly ever since! Peter became a missionary to many countries over 14 years abroad, with music serving as the main way into people's hearts around the world. While serving the Lord on the mission field, Peter met Karen, and the Lord has blessed them with nine wonderful children, and one fine grandson. Peter is currently a police officer on an island in South Carolina.
