Lyrics: 
(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', sky was heavy gray
Woke up this mornin', sky was heavy gray
Felt that old man Job, just tryin' to find my way

(Verse 2)
Suffering knockin', like an unwelcome friend
Yeah, sufferin' been knockin', seem like it ain't got no end
Lookin' for the wisdom, 'round that weary bend

(Chorus)
They say ask for understanding, and it shall be given true
(Lord, James said ask, and it shall be given to you)
But this Enduring muscle, mine and yours gotta work it through
Yeah, this Enduring muscle, gotta see what it can do.

(Verse 3)
Read about a Lotus, bloomin' in the mire
Heard tell of a Lotus, settin' souls on fire
Talkin' 'bout a long road, liftin' you up higher

(Verse 4)
Path ain't always easy, sometimes a burnin' ground
No, this path ain't easy, sometimes a burnin', weary ground
Gotta keep on walkin', 'til that true north is found.

(Chorus)
They say ask for understanding, and it shall be given true
(Said, if you lack that wisdom, it'll be given unto you)
But this Enduring muscle, me and you gotta work it through
Yeah, this Enduring muscle, gotta see what we can do.

Join us for this insightful episode of the Centerpoint Church podcast, where Adult Engagement Pastor Justin Elam dives into the theme of "Joy in the Journey." Justin shares personal anecdotes about family road trips and the challenges of navigating relationships, emphasizing that joy is often sacrificed when we focus on getting our way.

Key takeaways include:

• The significance of planning for joy in our relationships.

• How humility and love can lead to healthier connections.

• Practical steps to cultivate joy by giving our lives away rather than seeking control.

What if the secret to living your best life... is remembering that it won’t last forever? In this episode of Love, Happiness, and Success, I’m joined by author and mindset coach Karen Salmansohn to explore how the ancient principle of memento mori—remembering that you will die—can radically transform the way you live right now.&nbsp; Together, we unpack how mortality awareness isn’t morbid at all—it’s deeply motivational. When you get clear on what truly matters, you can stop spinning your wheels and  with clarity, courage, and joy. We’ll explore identity-based habits, reverse-engineering your values, and how writing your own eulogy (yep, really!) can actually help you build a life you’re proud to live. This isn’t about bucket lists or productivity hacks—it’s about being intentional and making sure your time, energy, and love are going exactly where you want them to.

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

From the serene landscapes of his photography to the mystical depths of his music, Maz Mahjoobi is an artist whose work is a confluence of visual and auditory beauty. His music is a journey into the spiritual and mystical aspects of life and the pursuit of higher consciousness.

Maz's musical journey began in his teenage years, deeply inspired by the timeless melodies and profound lyrics of the Beatles. It was more than just music for him; it was a refuge, a means to cope with life's challenges and a channel to express his creative energy. This early love affair with music ignited a passion that led him to explore various genres, ranging from classical and world music to pop, rock, and jazz.

At university, Maz delved into widely differing musical styles, weaving them into a unique tapestry that reflects his diverse influences. His music is not confined to one genre but is a vibrant mix that resonates with the universality of human emotions. His compositions, deeply rooted in mystical and spiritual qualities, are a reflection of his journey towards understanding and expressing the higher aspects of existence.

Maz's work is not just about creating melodies but about spreading the energies of divine love. His songs are a testament to his belief in the power of music as a transformative force, one that can uplift, heal, and inspire. His humble approach to music, coupled with his rich and varied background, makes his work accessible and relatable to a wide audience.
