I know this is old news to some of you, but the Supertones are no more. I wanted to write this because the Supertones were a tremendous inpiration to me. If one band could have inspired me to be bold for Christ it would be the Supertones. In their songs and lyrics they always took a strong stand for Jesus Christ and never backed down. Here is a song of theirs from their latest album:

Prince of Peace


Does the world ever seem like a nightmare
Some suffer but the other ones dont care
What does it matter if its going on elsewhere
Like it doesnt happen of it's not happening here
Theres a girl with only a mother and her dad just won't seem to bother
No love so she finds a lover
Now she has a child who doesnt have a father

Whoa O O I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O Yeah I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun
Cause we won't need them when the kingdom comes

When the Communists turn into the terrorists
But the axis came before the soviets
And before that came the confederates
Well always have a war to fight
You can count on this

With every cure there comes another sickness
The Earth dies with every bit of progress
We've gone deaf to the cries of oppressed
What we need is Jesus to redeem us

Whoa O O I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O Yeah I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun
Cause we won't need them when the kingdom comes
No we won't need them when the kingdom comes

Now the world doesnt work cause weve broken it
And we need dope or Prozac just to cope with it
Now the beast speaks it's peace the congress
Plans to Propagate
Proposition 666
Hitlers still alive in the knives of abortionists
And the news twist the truth like contortionists
And they wonder what happened to humanity
You say peace but were headed for calamity

Whoa O O I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun
Cause we won't need them when the kingdom comes
We long for the day when we will see the heavens and the earth as they should be



Though this song isn't one of their best, it speaks to me as I look forward every day to the coming of or Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Prince of Peace! Plus, this song supports exactly how I feel on the issues of abortion and the state of the world as a whole.
I personally don't know any other band that has written has many songs stating the love of God and putting Jesus into their songs with such vigor as the Supertones. They were a true blessing to me and affected my life greatly. When I needed encouragement, the songs of the Supertones were there. When I just needed some extra boldness in sharing Jesus, the Supertones' songs would help bring it to me. The Supertones will be greatly missed in my heart. I hope some other band with as much enthusiasm can step up to the plate and continue the bold proclamation of Jesus that the Supertones held on to untill the end.
Thank you for taking the time to read this tribute page to the Supertones!

This song was the soul of the Supertones. Let us live each day as this. This song is titled "Perseverence of the Saints":

Let me drown in an ocean of devotion
Let my joy be in service and love my emotion
Let me be closer that Your right hand
Tighter than Your left hand and let me be a Godly man
'til the day I die, 'til the fire's just smoke
I will go for broke 'til my last word's spoke
If I limp then I will run with a limp
I'll win some and lose some, but I'll make my attempt

Last breath before the candle flickers out
I will speak the name of Jesus.

I will keep fightin' to the knockout, even if I'm knocked out
Hittin' hard, I'm hittin' for the belt
My soul will keep going 'til my body buckles out
Until my bloody knuckles carry us to heaven by the truckfulls
I will be as stubborn as a pitbull,
Neutral as a nazi, resolute like Ghandi
I will keep preachin' 'til I'm took out,
'til I'm Heaven En Route
No sell out!
