I woke up this morning I was lying on the floor Thought to myself “I can’t take this any more. This life that I’m living, I’d be better off dead.” That’s when I heard a small Voice in my head (and it said): CHORUS: At The Foot Of The Cross / The Foot Of The Cross Salvation / redemption / a new life; this is what it will cost Bring all your troubles and treasures and count - count them as loss I rolled myself over and as far as I could see There was no one around, nobody sitting there with me “This must be the end, I must be coming undone.” Then the Voice laughed and said, “No, this is only just begun” CHORUS Change didn’t come easy, didn’t happen over night Introspection, reflection and prayer finally made me right And just when I thought that I had nothing left to learn The Voice spoke up and said; “Now it’s someone else’s turn” CHORUS I wake up each morning a born again man I live my life each day with a purpose, a goal and a plan The door is wide open: It’s your time to step across Just come in and join us At the foot, at the foot of the cross!

Some people may ask,
 Where is God in this ache? Where is God in heartbreak?
 Where is God in this?

 Some people may say,
 Where is God in this pain?
 Where is God in my rain?
 Where is God in this?

 But I know Lord, you are there,
 Holding me through my every care.
 Taking hearts we think will never mend.

 And I know Lord, you see me,
 Sheltering me in every need.
 Holding me closer than a friend.

 Now I know that
I see God in this pain,
 I see God through hard rain.
 He is there for me.

 And I know that
God is there through each ache.
 God can care for heartbreak.
 He’ll take care of me.


 Some people may ask
 Where is God in this place?
 Where is God and his grace?
 Where is God in this?

 Some people may say
 How can God see us here?
 How can God see our tears?
 How is God in this?

 But I know Lord, you are there,
 Holding me through my every care, Taking hearts we think will never mend.

 And I know Lord, you see me,
 Sheltering me in every need, Holding me closer than a friend.

 Now I know that
God sees me in this place,
 God is here with his grace,
 God is here in this.

 And I know that 
God is next to me here,
 God can wipe away my tears,
 taking care of this. I see God in this pain,
 I see God through hard rain.
 He is there for me.

 And I know that
God is there through each ache.
 God can care for heartbreak.
 He’ll take care of me.

about

The return of thirteen time Detroit Music Award winners SWEET CRYSTAL with their latest release “QUAD” finds the band sounding larger and more powerful than ever, thanks to the collaboration with award-winning mixer/engineer Chuck Alkazian (Christina Aguilera, R Kelly, Mitch Ryder, Pop Evil) and Pearl Sound Studios, Canton, MI.

From the opening flourish of “Fanfare” right into the slide-guitar driven progressive rock anthem “Foot Of The Cross”, these songs will satisfy the cravings for more SWEET CRYSTAL from even the most demanding fans.

Featuring performances by special guest vocalists Amy Susan Heard and David Perez , there are storylines and soaring musical lines on QUAD for every taste and situation.

“We've really upped our sonic onslaught with QUAD” says founding member Marq Andrew Speck. “There are songs here about desperation and redemption, asking questions of faith and finding real answers for our lives as well as some mighty sweet instrumentals.”

The physical CD also contains a 14 minute bonus track: an in-depth interview with the band, giving listeners more insight into SWEET CRYSTAL and what QUAD is all about; a must have for new and classic fans alike.

SWEET CRYSTAL is a very rare group of musicians. Not only has the band remained in existence for an impressive 40 years, but also the core trio of Marq Andrew Speck (lead vocals, keyboards), Bill Blatter (guitar, vocals) and Steve Wieser (drums) has remained intact for the entirety of that time. Perhaps most importantly, the band has remained standing strong on the front lines of the Michigan Christian rock scene, even before that music genre had a name.

SWEET CRYSTAL and QUAD – still “Reaching The World, One Song At A Time ™”!
