Veritas Records is proud to present Christian Recording Artist - Eric Horner. It's exciting to see the lives that Eric has touched through his anointed gift of
"Eric's songs and his voice are welcome additions to the industry and to radio listeners. Simply put, it's some of the best stuff I've heard in a long time. After listening to Eric's new project I told my wife that there is just not a weak song on there. And after talking to Eric about his life, his music and his walk with the Lord, my conclusion is that very little about Eric Horner is weak. He loves life, his family, his country and his Lord, Jesus. I have 33 years in the radio industry - have been in Christian radio for the past 16 years and was on the road singing gospel music for 9 years. I've heard a lot. Eric Horner is among the best." Darrell Gibson President Heartland Ministries, Inc.

Story behind the song
This song was written in less than 15 minutes one morning as Eric was preparing to give a seminar on the importance of Patriotism in the Church. The chorus just started running around in his head and 15 minutes later the song was finished. It is a simple prayer from the heart of a young girl as her daddy leaves to fight the war in a far away country. Guest vocalist - Samantha Mote - is the young daughter of Christian Artist - Gordon Mote - www.gordonmote.com .
