ONLY beLIeVE (1992)
WITNESS is the name of the first band Fred and Jenny Rogers formed in 1991 in Lake Jackson, Texas. At that time, Witness played nearly every weekend at different churches, rodeos, gospel sings, and prisons. Our ministry was focused on bringing people together and showing the love and mercy of God through our music.
All of the music on ONLY beLIeVE is original and was recorded at R/R Studios in Lake Jackson, Texas (which is still operating and is owned by our old friend, Jason Rooks) and then reformatted by Cyprian Alexzander into for digital media, downloadable from our website, Holyinspirationsmusic.com

Beautiful God (2006)
The first CD we recorded, which features two of our daughters. Daniella sings “With You” and Sarah sings “Unlike Any Other.” Along with these are other original songs focused on the beauty of God.
Harha Yah (2008)
The Mountain of God CD features a full array of musicians as we invited our friends to join in with winds and strings! A jubilant CD with the joy of the Lord in mind.
In The Beginning (2008)
An instrumental recorded in one sitting. This was an outpouring of a teaching my husband, Fred, did on the Hebrew meanings of the first 5 books of the Bible (the Torah).
Kol Shema (2011)
Hearing His voice and seeking to know more of who God is.
Abundance (2014)
An instrumental based on the healing frequencies. This CD is filled with winds and strings as well as many other sounds that create a healing vibration for the spirit, mind, and body.
Come Away With Me (2015)
This CD is a desire to find an intimate place to hide away with the Lord. An effort to dwell in His secret place.
Moonlight (2016)
Another instrumental created to help my grandchildren fall asleep. It is also a good meditation CD for those that like to rest in the Lord or read His Word.
Weather Journey… Narrow Path (2021)
Weathered Journey came to me almost entirely while bike riding on the Cedar Valley Nature Trail in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. While riding I saw an old weathered out building off to the side of the trail and the Lord immediately gave me the words to the song.
The words reflect the pain our family (as many others) has experienced through the loss of those we love and how God bought us through while walking the narrow path with us. I dedicate this song to the grandbabies, parents, children and friends we have loved and will see again one day.
Many thanks to :
