Resurrection
The hardest part, of going through that gauntlet
was seeing the ones
who still chose their chains instead of God's love
At the first light, from death's darkest hour, arise!
The King has returned!
As all of creation's voice is heard!
"See my hands and feet, fear not, it is I, myself.
A spirit hath not the flesh and bones as you see I have."
So many that need to be fed
Through your hands by my hands
So many that need to be fed
By your hands
"See my hands and feet, fear not, it is I, myself.
A spirit hath not the flesh and bones as you see I have."
So many that need to be fed
Through your hands by my hands
So many that need to be fed
By your hands

Ascension
It is finally time,
to go back to the Father now
before I go please know
the Spirit will follow
please know, the Spirit will follow
"I am with you to the end, because I called you friends.
I'll be with you to the end, and draw you home again."
Forty days were spent, walking
with you to prove all that happened is not the end
all was said in truth,
Now I'll go, entrusting all to you
"I am with you to the end, because I called you friends.
I'll be with you to the end, and draw you home again."
and the death that you once knew
has been crushed under foot for you
now I'll go and entrust all to you
you'll not be all alone
"I am with you to the end, because I called you friends.
I'll be with you to the end, and draw you home again."
It is finally time
It is finally time

Pentecost
The wind poured through the house
all had felt the changing
as the flames began to take their shape
and come to rest in that place
To the corners I will send you
with authority
the darkest depths of hell will be chained
by the words you speak
The words are all so clear
seared into my mind's ear
every hour of every waking day
will burn all that could cause decay
To the corners I will send you
with authority
the darkest depths of hell will be chained
by the words you speak
and all that I needed to know
has been shared so abundantly
a lifetime is never enough
to share all that's welled so deep
because You humbled Yourself to redeem
all those who had drowned in sinful seas
Your outstretched hand is all we need
to brave the stones that would dash our feet

Assumption
It always made so much sense
you couldn't be left here to decay.
your Son, He loved you too much
for that ever to be the case
it was much more of a sleep
than the death the rest of us know
overcome with such joy
it was time for you to go back home
She humbly leads us to her Son, so He can save the soul
more than a vessel, she is mother for us to behold
we'll never be the same again
we'll never be the same
She humbly leads us to her Son, so He can save the soul
more than a vessel, she is mother for us to behold

Coronation
Fashioned from the dust, she'll not return to the same
such a creature, there's never been
You chose her from every age
And now, she's queen of all that is known
her heel crushes the foe
revealing signs that were foretold
under a crown of 12 stars
Though a queen, more a mother
she draws us all very near
It is Christ that she leads us to
every day, every year
And now, she's queen of all that is known
her heel crushes the foe
revealing signs that were foretold
under a crown of 12 stars

Peter Johnston RVA Richmond, Virginia
To put it simply, Peter Johnston RVA is Catholic indie rock; you
wouldn't hear this at mass, but it does
try to prove that traditional Catholic thought and indie rock are not mutually exclusive. It began easily enough as a few home recordings but has slowly turned into a full on project that explores matters of human dignity and common good in society.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Johnston RVA
