Written on the fifth anniversary of 9/11/01. A song about living in fear, about hiding from life, about finding strength in weakness, the sort of humility that Christ himself exhibits.

Fear will ruin and make you a slave
Turn your thoughts into daily graves
Hound you, foul you, steal away love
Until all that’s left is the emptying of
The good and decent things of earth
And the ones who made us whole

You Don't Have The Strength

Farthest Shore

Don't Hold Your Breath

"A smart, redemptive approach to songwriting and insanely catchy melodies." - Christianity Today

Nashville indie singer-songwriter Eric Peters has been called "the best musician that nobody knows about". His honest, vulnerable lyrics have earned him rave reviews by fans and critics.

Originally hailing from south Louisiana, Eric Peters is as genuine as he is down to earth. What you see is what you get. Unafraid to laugh at himself, he also knows when it is time to be quiet. Eric is a craftsman at heart and humbly acknowledges the honor of playing his songs live.
Eric’s music works on multiple levels - his beautiful melodies and catchy arrangements are immediately accessible, but his lyrical intentions continue to emerge long after the first impressions fade away. The varying layers continually reveal new discoveries the deeper and harder one looks.
Honest, heart-on-the-sleeve moments relate the common human struggle to find hope, worth and place in life.

“I trust that my songs are interpretative, not instructional. While instruction can be instantaneous and fleeting, interpretation allows for the factor of time: Time to heal, time to breathe, time to forgive, time for anger, time for failure, time for success, time to change and time to become.”

Recurring themes of faith and hope-triggered plotlines are simply an echo of who Eric Peters is, his experiences, and his attempts to understand his own fallible world.

“I am doomed without the strong and tender hand of mercy. I hope to share that of myself: the tangible and intangible, the noble and despicable, the manageable and the mysterious.“ – Eric Peters
