Bringing it back to the early 90s with this one. They only released 2 LPS, but man were there tons of great songs ie Bad Place, Don’t You Run, Heaven’s on my Mind, Story just to name a few. They also crossed over onto CCM radio which was a feat imho. Vocalist Pagano released a couple of LPs after the band disbanded also.

This is an arena rock band who eventually turned grunge before disbanding. Have always dug this song & the bass line helped a lot! Nostalgia…

The passing of Michael Bloodgood still hits hard with all of us who remember his music and have followed his health on social media. This SOTD was actually my 2nd intro to them. My first being Battle of the Flesh off one of the Intense Records comps I found at a Hobby Lobby almost 30 years ago! I fell in love with this ballad & I still about the lyrics to this day how much Jesus still loves us.
I felt my heart was leading
I set my course on you
In your eyes I’m reading
Tell me what you want to do
I want to live in your heart
I want to be in your thoughts
Where you go, walk with me
And when you talk, talk about me
The whole world sits and wonders
How a man loves his woman
When passion’s filled with thunder
From the trance they’re under
When you’re alone in the middle of the night
Let my love be your light
When you awake from your sleep
Know in your heart my love’s deep
My love’s deep

This song is been one of my fave songs of all time-yeah there are a lot of them. But for real I think it was maybe 1994 I heard this one & I immediately was hooked. Maybe it was Amy Wolter’s voice or the lyrics (probably the latter). Anyways, keep you eyes, ears and heart open to what YHWH is telling you and spending quiet time with Him is a surefire way of letting Him be involved with our lives.
It’s been too easy to stay away
I’ve excuses for everyday that I ran from you
Looking the other way
Afraid of what yo might say
Of what I’d have to do
But when I stopped running
And started to hear
Your voice became real
I can feel you near
When I am alone with You
I can hear you calling
When I am alone with You
Your Spirit’s falling…
Your voice keeps calling my name
Sitting here in my quiet chair
expecting to find you there
This is a better choice
I can think of all the years wasted
In a one way conversation
It was only my voice
Ready to listen
I’m ready to hear
Word so sweet to my aching ears

So I heard this song back in the day & fell in love with it. Now this is in those days that internet wasn’t around yet & I had no clue how to find it. Years went past & while digging thru Idle Cure’s stuff, whoa I just found my jam! This is AOR & I get this is a punk site but these lyrics (partially pulling from Psalm 99:9) still ring all these years later. Hope y’all understand what I mean.
Have you ever been up to the mountain
Have you ever walked on holy ground
We can all go without condition
The veil’s been torn, there’s love all around
The light shines from all directions
You’ll cast way your cares
Have you ever taken water from the river
If you drink you’ll never thirst again
It’s all been given to us freely
No more servants, we’re called friends
The path is narrow, the days are few
Let’s walk up to the mountain and turn the old to new
Shadows falling, harvest from the light
I can feel the power of love
Voices singing, praising the Most High
Now I know, I’m standing on holy ground
Have we lost the heart to worship
Have we lost the song of praise
Is our walk another chapter
Reading words but we never bless His name
The path is narrow, the days are few
Let’s walk up to the mountain and turn the old to new
Come enter in and you will see
The temple door is broken free
Lift your voice now don’t be shy
Lift Him up to be glorified

Akeldama is a Christian arena rock band that released their self-titled release in 1996. Think Warrior, Blood & Fire, Krush or Laudamus to get a feeling. Anyways, had a really hard time finding their music, but was able to speak with the bassist/vocalist on social media who subsequently sent me a few of their songs. “Akeldama” is actually the Aramaic name for field of blood which is where Judas hung himself after betraying Jesus. Anyways, this song speaks of a girl who is going the wrong direction away from YHWH & the singer is crying out for her to wake up & come back to Jesus.… Continued →
