because of you
i stand amazed in the presence  
this little light of mine  
the light has come
those who trust  
there is a place

my glorious  
every time i fall  
tell the world  
meet with me  
certain  
stay with us 
who shall i fear

This is our first praise and worship project,  and it is a celebration of the light,  hope,  and restoration that our God has offered us.  It is an eclectic mix of musical styles that offers everything from soaring,  high-octane,  punk praise and arena rock to folk ballads and grinding blues.  This project has something for everyone and every note and lyric is directed to the One.  The cd jacket also contains scriptural references to each of our original songs to utilize for personal study,  meditation,  and celebration.  It was recorded by Jim Archer,  Nathan Spencer,  Matt Wideman,  and Nathan Lewis.

Most bands have a Greatest Hits album.  Due to our world wide lack of fame,  we chose to release a project jam packed with silly songs primarily written or stolen by Nathan Spencer.  I’ll never forget the day that Nathan came to practice and said,  "Man,  I’ve been painting in a room without ventilation all day,  and I don’t know if it’s just the fumes,  but I think I’ve got a great idea."  With that said,  he played "Father Abraham" punk rock style,  and the rest is history.  Let’s also not forget the day that Nathan came to practice after being a substitute teacher for kindergarteners all day and said,  "Man,  those kindergarteners have some really cool songs.  We sing this one every morning."  Nathan then went on to teach the band "Good Morning."  Oh, and I’ve got to mention the time that Nathan came to practice and said,  "Man, I stole this really cool song from a little kids puppet show.  Check it out."  That was the day that we learned who "Ticklish Reuben" was.  Last but not least,  we can’t fail to mention the day that Nathan stole a chant called "Potato Chip" from a camper.  Who was that camper anyway?  I bet he feels like a schmuck,  giving away the greatest song ever written without so much as one single royalty check. 

Greatest Misses is full of silly songs like these.  It was released in 2005 after only 6 hours in the studio.  It was the most fun we have ever had in a recording studio.  By the way, in order to get the outdoor sound of a camp fire for the "Campfire" track of this project,  Jim Archer,  Nathan Spencer,  Matt Wideman,  and Nathan Lewis turned the lights out in the studio and all got underneath a heavy tarp with a microphone.  It was a magical moment in recording history. 

If you want to wet your pants due to unrestrained laughter, buy Greatest Misses.

"I’m goin’ crazy, but I’m going Home."  These words were used in the bridge of the title track of this project,  and they encapsulate the entire album.  Suitcase detailed the journey of a believer saved by grace traveling through a world of ungrace on the way to our home and our eventual wedding with Jesus.  This project was released in 2003,  and it was recorded by:  Jim Archer, Nathan Spencer, Matt Wideman, Kelli Archer, and Jonathan "Stork" Smither.
