At the age of one, his mother, Cheryl, noticed how well he could keep rhythm on a drum set his grandfather had given him. At the age of five, his mother introduced him to the mandolin. Quickly mastering the instrument, he began playing for cruise ship tourists alongside his mother in Homer, Alaska.

After receiving a call from Steve Perry inviting him to audition as lead guitarist for his next solo project, For the Love of Strange Medicine, Brewster accepted and began songwriting and rehearsals for the album. Brewster's guitar technique, tone, and equipment choices possessed similar qualities and texturing to Journey's Neal Schon, and was touted as a favorable feature in the resulting album. He also toured with Perry for six months from 1994 to early 1995.

While working on his own self-titled album (with producer Paul Mills), Brewster worked with label-mate Darrell Evans, contributing vocals, guitar and co-writing on Evans' Freedom project. He also spent some time on the road, touring with Michael W. Smith during Smith's 1998 Live the Life tour. Brewster's second album, Live to Worship was released in 2000. According to his biography in his official website, "Lincoln now combines his talents and determination to record songs that will minister to a new generation of believers."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa

I'm running a race that I'm not gonna lose
'Cause everything changed when I met You
So I'm laying all my tomorrows in Your hands
I'm standing on every word You've said
I'm holding onto Your promises
And I know my hope and my future are found in You

Oh yeah

With everything that You've started in me
I believe that You will be faithful
And I receive
Everything that You're doing in me
And I believe
That the rest of my life
Will be the best days of my life

Whoa

I'm waking to find Your mercies new
I'm walking upon Your grace and truth
And I know Your Spirit will lead me
On my way
I'm giving away this life I have
I'll give it my all Lord I won't hold back
'Til I stand before You in heaven
Finally home

Yeah

With everything that You've started in me
I believe that You will be faithful
And I receive
Everything that You're doing in me
And I believe
That the rest of my life
Will be the best days of my life

You pulled me out from where I was
And You set my feet on a solid rock
You've given me a brand new song to sing
Whoa
So I won't fear You'll see me through
The darkness is as light to You
And I know You're gonna make the night shine like the day
And I believe it

I know You're coming back for me
And the rest of my life
Will be the best of my life

Oh I receive
Everything that You're doing in me
(You're doing in me)
And I believe
That the rest of my life
Will be the best of my life
I know You're coming back for me
Yes I'm living for eternity
Because of what you've done for me
Now I know that the rest of my life
Will be the best days of my life

Whoa
