Decker, a man of strong faith in Jesus Christ, says the story of the Armenian Genocide is close to his heart.

"This is an event that took the lives of 1.5 million Armenian Christians during World War I because they would not renounce their faith," he says. "So I'm really singing about the loss of my brothers and sisters in Christ."

"Ruthlessly they came, with one deadly aim
Kill all who believed in Jesus' name"

"As they knelt before the warrior's blade -- singing
To the great I AM, worthy is the Lamb
To Him who sits upon the throne we bow before You
Holy is the One, God's Almighty Son
Glory to the Christ, Our risen King"
