Once upon a time, Joseph Durham and I wrote some songs and now one is on iTunes and Spotify and it’s just so bizarre.
In February 2017, life was a little bit crazy with a lot of relational newness, strains, and one trial after another. I didn’t know it then, but we were on the threshold of a wilderness where the light would soon fade, the storms would get rough, but the Lord’s hand would still guide.
It was an early morning and we were setting up for a video shoot for the media company we worked for. I was 100% inside my head, sucked into the trap of basing faith on what my eyes could see rather than looking to and trusting the Unseen. Trying to pull me out of my shell of silence and overthinking, Joseph asked a ton of questions (most of which I protectively refused to answer. [I’m a peach]). Eventually, however, I did say aloud to myself, “Breathe deep, my soul, of words that really matter.” Joseph stopped and said, “You should write a song based on that.” I laughed at him and said, “I am not a songwriter,” and he said, “Fine, I’ll write a song about it.” That unfolded into a co-writing collaboration that turned into what you can now hear on iTunes and my mind is blown by the grace of it all.
We pray this song will encourage your soul, help you preach truth to your heart, and remind you that one day God will pierce the darkness till it shatters in totality.
“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”
-2 Corinthians 4:16-18
