专辑简介

This compilation of songs is a reflection of how the hard and beautiful truths of the Christian faith found their expression in my life as a husband to my wife Janet who suffered from an illness which left her with no movement in her body, but the most joyous heart one might ever witness. These songs are my heart's expression of that journey. In the midst of living in a life-support environment and raising a son, God began to teach me what it really means to live, as I discovered the His heart for me and His desire to heal mine. As that healing took place and I found myself more and more spiritually and emotionally free, my wife's own body became increasingly paralyzed to the point where she could no longer move. Her only movement was a constant smile on her ever radiant face. Writing became my way of trying to reconcile our outer world as it became increasingly difficult and our inner worlds as they became increasingly free. Seeing beauty amidst the dying and hope amidst loss I hope is evident in these songs which came from the very real daily pleading with God. Somehow I believe my journey, with its peaks and valleys of finding life in a broken world may be a reflection of your own. In the midst of it, I hope you find as I did, a beautiful surprise.
