inspired by Walter Breggemann's book Prophetic Imagination...particularly the chapter about Miriam & Moses' "The Song of the Sea"...from Exodus 15...
lyrics
Horse and Rider by mc
Horse and Rider
Thrown into the sea
A whole world’s desires
An empire enslaving me
Chariots and armies
Seeking to isolate
Mimic Your grandeur
They can never replicate
The Lord is our strength
And our song
He has become
Our salvation
You stretch out your hand
This has set us free
You work miracles
You open up the sea for us…
You guide us with Your strength
Into Your place of peace
You lead us in Your love
The people You redeemed
We are the people You redeemed
The Lord is our strength
And our song
He has become
Our salvation
Who is like You, O Lord?
Majestic in holiness
Who is like You, O Lord?
Awesome in glory - Working Your wonders
Saving with power - Healing the nations
Seeking the poorest - Freeing the captives
Sticking beside us when we turn away
You stick beside us when we turn away
And we turn away almost every day
Lord ,You will reign
Lord You will reign
forever forever forever amen
Horse and Rider
Thrown into the sea
The Lord has provided
He has set us free

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
