This is a beautiful, Isabelle! I love the lyrics and the music! You probably won't know me, but I'm friends with Josie and Thad :)).

This ballad was written for dear friends of mine who lost their father and husband. 

It attempts to describe the deep groaning of the soul on the face of death, and the shifting of reality after change and loss.

If you have experienced this type of grief, be it through death, depression, loss of memory, abuse, physical or mental trauma, leaving home, or anything else... this song is for you. It is a prayed-over ground for you to grieve on, held in the arms of Jesus. 

The Spirit Himself hears your groaning, and intercedes for you with groanings too deep for words(Romans 8:26). Jesus Christ knows your suffering, because he undertook it on the Cross. I AM, the name He gave to Moses, dwells with you in the fire. When the very fabric of your life seems to have changed, He does not change. When you walk past places where there used to be laughter alone, He will be present. His voice sings over you. (Zephaniah 3:17)

If you have given yourself to Him, He will build you up, His bride, and clothe you with a gentle hand. He will make you dwell with Him forever, in glory. 

In the midst of your darkest hour, when you feel most forsaken, Jesus Himself was forsaken in order to bring you near. There is no betrayal, no death, no burden strong enough to rend the bond between you and your mediator. 

Because Jesus passed through death and rose again, and because Death has no power over His resurrection, we can sing these words: 

In the twinkling of an eye—
Dear Heart, take comfort!
In the twinkling of an eye 
His arms will take you up and bring you to His home.
Weep now, 
He weeps with you.
But you will dance when your weary eyes have proven Him true. 

He is coming back soon. Hallelujah.

**wow guys-- I had no idea I'd get this kind of response in so short a time! Thank you all for the encouragement :)

this song is just a way for me to vocalize my thoughts and (like all of my songs) is a conversation with the Lord a little bit.

the Moon Understands Me (voice memo)

Not With Me

Wrestling with the difficulties of circumstances and faith in things unseen. Trusting in God’s promises in the midst of struggle. Also realizing that often (certainly not always) the pain and problems of life are a result of something wrong in my relationship with the Lord. So grateful for the blood of Christ and His redemption and the sure hope we have that He is making all things new. 

At Last- Ryan Michael Thom

Verse 1:
Why is this so hard?
Glimpses of faith are feeling faded
Things seem so jaded
Like we’re both only strangers
 
Verse 2:
What have I gone and done?
For so much pain what’s there to gain, still?
No more can I fake it
Outside in but will I make it?
 
Verse 3:
Shut down and frustrated
Trying ev’n now to pursue You, still
Hanging on to promises
Yours and mine but high the cost is
 
Chorus 1:
But in the stillness
Hope holds on
When circumstances say that real Love’s almost gone
Can’t escape the pain of seasons past
How long will this pain last?
God how long will this pain last?
 
Chorus 2:
Yes in Your stillness
Hope holds on
Because Your steadfast love for me is never gone
When I can’t escape the pain of seasons past
You say this too shall pass
My faith then sight at last
Eternal rest at last
 
Bridge:
Your voice says
Hope in me
Have faith, true faith
In the things that you cannot see
Believe in me
By my blood you’ve been redeemed
This too will be redeemed
By me
