About the artist

Chris Staudt, who started writing songs on his first toy xylophone, has lived a wide range of musical and artistic experiences. These include playing in local bands, churches, musical theater, and recordings; studying cartooning, composing, orchestrating, and theory; learning to play many instruments; and arranging for live symphony orchestra, mainly with children’s edutainer Slim Goodbody. He also produced shows for a public access cable TV channel, including a self-penned one-hour rock opera.

His full-time employment gained him desktop publishing skills: computer graphics, writing and editing, proofreading, and page layout. But the song writing never stopped. Today, Chris finds that ministering to other hearts by sharing songs of worship, hymns of praise, and tales of Kingdom life makes the Web an even more beautiful thing.

Lyrics

(Based on Hosea 6:1-3)

We've got to know Him--press in to know the Lord our God!
He will come as surely as the dawn comes
And visit us like the rains in spring and fall
That refresh the earth.

I've got to know You--press in to know You, Lord my God!
You will come as surely as the dawn comes
And visit me like the rains in spring and fall
That refresh the earth.

Like the rains,
Like the rains refresh the earth. (repeat)

The Lord has wounded,
But He will come and bind our wounds.
When two days have passed, He will revive us
And on the third day He will raise us up;
In His eyes, we'll live.

O Lord, You've wounded,
But You will come and bind my wounds.
When two days have passed, You will revive me
And on the third day You will raise me up;
In Your eyes, I'll live.

And You'll come like the rains,
Like the rains refresh the earth. (repeat)
