Jesus I wonder could you provide
A love that goes deeper than darkness can hide
Cause you know that I’ve hidden my heart from your grip
Into darkness I’ve wandered, into darkness I’ve slipped
Would you take all these ashes, they’re all that is left
From a life I have squandered on idols bereft
I was hoping you’d take them and scatter ‘em wide
And turn them to sweetness, sweetness and life
I was hoping you’d take them and turn them to love
The love that you offer that no darkness can hold
And when I’m down and when I’m out
Would you save me from my doubt?
Cause I’ve believed and I’ve received
Countless times your mysteries
But life weighs down, my thoughts turn black
I wonder if you’ll have me back…again…
Will you be my friend? Would you take my hand?
Would you lead me to a place where I can stand?
Where I can feel…Where I can heal…
Where I can be revealed so I can be a friend…
Jesus I wonder could you provide
A love that goes deeper than darkness can hide
A love that is stronger than the weight of my sin
A love that is wider…A love that will win
Help me love the way you love
When it hurts, when none returns
So the one in front of me
Fades away and Your face is all I see
Help me be a friend…
To my fellow man…
Help me love someone…
Help me understand…

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha

This album is perfect-my new favorite shalom sesh! I could listen to this all day, with tea, The Word, near a body of water as the peace of God washes over me. HalleluYah! I really like the lo-fi sound it reminds me of classics(JDilla, even Air). I can certainly feel the inspiration from Japan in this. The more I listen to JO the more I feel his love for Yeshua and it fills me so much love too. Glory to Abba for this beautiful work of art! It is soul medicine:) Shalom shalom Yaaqova
