About the Band

My photo
The Bittersweet Gospel Band began as an extension of Bittersweet Ministries, at the time a rehabilitation home for men in East Los Angeles. The home, founded by Pastor Gilbert Romero, was a half-way house, a safe place, where men young and old could find stability, self-discipline and healing from their broken lives as gang members, drug users, alcoholics,and the abuse they suffered from the hands of others. Pastor Gilbert came out of this same world when God called him to ministry. In the mid-1990's, the Band began to minister to the main stream of the Church of the Brethren, and to other denominational and non-denominational churches as well, with a focus on reaching out to youth and breaking down walls of cultural division. With the Band's music and Gilbert's preaching, Bittersweet concerts take on a revival atmosphere. Pastor Gilbert is a dynamic speaker and presenter, as well as a smooth vocalist, percussionist, and songwriter. Joining him since 1997 is Pastor Scott Duffey, who plays guitar, sings, and also writes some of the music. Scott and Gilbert are from different worlds, but God has put them together as a model for intercultural ministry.

Lyrics for songs posted

"Through My Lord's Eyes"
CHORUS: How do I look, through my Lord's eyes.....
VERSE 1: I used to be a wallflower, hoping no one would see me;
    but deep down I really wanted everybody to see the real me.  But I ask...
VERSE 2: There are many reasons to be noticed, one of which is popularity,
    What will I sacrifice to get it; is it worth it if I lose the real me?  So I ask...
VERSE 3: Sometimes I act ashamed of Jesus, other folks just might not understand,
    Isn't my heart enough to please him, does he have to see me serve with my own hands?
    Then I ask...
VERSE 4: One day I'll finally walk with Jesus, not 'cause of anything I've done.
    He simply loves me beyond measure, and He will welcome me when my race is run.
    So I say...
