Peter Mayer has been writing inspirational songs for several years decided that it was time to collect the songs and record a CD. He chose a sound that is spare, using predominantly acoustic instruments, with a production standard that would leave space for the listener, but one that is inviting and lush, using Native American flute, world percussion, violin, mandolin and guitar.

Lyrically, the CD presents songs of faith and inspiration. While finding home in the Christian tradition, the CD makes it apparent that this music, these songs, are meant for anybody, regardless of faith, race and creed that has looked for strength, unity or healing in the spiritual aspects of their life. "'A' is for Angel" talks about a parent's look at his/her growing child and hopes and fears they may have for them. "Yes I Will" was written for a wedding ceremony, but is a song of love and commitment in any season. "Stirrin' Up The Water," the title track, is a song recalling the promise in the ceremony of baptism.

Peter Mayer's music is moving and beautiful! God has blessed him with a wonderful talent and I am so grateful that he is sharing it with all of us!
