A new song recorded straight into my iPhone voice memos. It flips the notion of "blind faith" on its head to share a new perspective of how important it is to trust. A reminder that it's all working out - it always does. 

Blind Faith (Every Body Needs A Little Bit Sometimes)

"Hiding in plain sight, camouflage of a new world order, young grasshopper is a drip doctor..."
* Recorded in iPhone voice memo. L

Hiding in Plain Sight

A voice memo for my "VOICE MEMO DEMO PROJECT".  So many ideas sitting in my phone and I'm putting them out to give them life. I like that they're rough and unpolished. They are proof of concept and the art itself at the same time. I'm redefining what output needs to look like for me. 

Ethic

If You lead me a way that I know,
It would not benefit like the ways unknown.
As You lead me a way that I don’t understand,
I only can open to You.
 
This leads to thousands of conversations:
“Who are You, Lord? What shall I do?”
Each one forms a piece of our journey together,
An eternal memorial between me and You.

Thousands of Conversations

1. All thy griefs by Him are ordered,
  Needful is each one for thee;
All thy tears by Him are counted,
  One too much there cannot be;
And if while they fall so quickly
  Thou canst own His way is right,
Then each bitter tear of anguish
  Precious is in Jesus’ sight.

2. Far too well thy Savior loves thee
  To allow thy life to be
One long, calm, unbroken summer—
  One unruffled, stormless sea;
He would have thee fondly nestling
  Closer to His loving breast,
He would have that day seem brighter
  When alone is perfect rest.

All Thy Griefs By Him Are Ordered

1. This time I will not question,
This time I won’t go free,
This time I shall lie quiet,
This time He touches me.

CHORUS:
Do, Lord, what You will
Freely thus in me —
Without reservation;
All is well with me.

2. Though valleys seem forever,
Few hills, yea, far between,
I ask not for relief from
What’s measured out to me.

3. I know the way is narrow,
The course is long and rough;
As long as You are happy,
Your smile — it is enough.

This Time I Will Not Question

1. Are You the One who came from heav’n?
The mighty God who suffered the curse of sin and died,
And they pierced Your side.
Rose from the grave, You’re ever new;
You’ve sown in me the seed of life that grew
From sinner, poor and blind
To New Jerusalem.

CHORUS: 
I love You more
With all my heart, with all my soul,
(Oh, Love divine)
With all my strength, with all my mind;
Sweet, sweet repose.

2. Are You the One my heart has known?
Are You the One, my spirit has richly grown to love?
Oh come, Beloved
And with my lips, shall I confess
That deep in You my heart found rest
And peace as ocean’s depth?
Oh, fill me with Your breath!

Sweet, Sweet Repose

There Is A River

(Capo 2)
C G Am
1. There is a river flowing from the throne
C G Am
You know it flows to you and me
C G Bb-F
There is a river flowing in us all
Am G C C7
And it flows to eternity

Chorus:
F
So come on all you people
Am G
There’s a choice for you to make
Am7 G
Choose life, and know that it’ll suffice.
C G Bb-F
There is a river who is flowing still
Am G C
And His name is Jesus Christ.

2. There is a river and it washes you
Frees you from all your worldly chains
There is a river and it will not cease
Until only Christ remains.
Chorus:
So come on all you people
There’s a place where you can go
Freely come, without money without price
There is a river who has paid it all
His name is Jesus Christ

3. There is a river and it has a goal
To make us gold and precious stones
Stay in the river and enjoy the flow
So our God can gain His home
Chorus:
So come on all you people
Set your eyes upon the prize
The built-up church, the dwelling place of God
There is a river flowing towards the goal
C G C Am
The corporate Jesus Christ.
C G C
The corporate Jesus Christ.

There Is A River

CHORUS:
Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
  Thy love has conquered me;
Beneath Thy Cross I die to self,
  And live alone to Thee.
 
1. Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
  Nor creed, nor form, nor word,
Nor holy Church, nor human love,
  Compare with Thee, my Lord!

2. Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
  My inmost being fill;
So shall I think as Thou dost think,
  And will as Thou dost will.

3. Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
  Thy life transfigure mine;
And through this veil of mortal flesh,
  Lord, let Thy splendor shine.

4. Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
  My soul exults in Thee;
To be Thy slave, to do Thy will,
  Is my felicity.

Be Thou Supreme

okay, enjoy your life
