Every Once In A While

...you hear an artist whose music connects with the depths of your heart. I've been listening to Adam Pasion's album almost every day for the past three weeks, in part or in whole.

My song of the week is definitely "Run By Faith", from his latest album O, Hear The Rattling. I can't find a video of it online, so here is a snippet of the lyrics:

"You be the river, I'll be the tree by your side
My leaves will not whither, my branches never die
Deeply rooted, I shall not be moved
And in my season I will bear great fruit"

I've been at least a little bit sick four of the six days this week. Today wasn't so grand. I've listened to many songs to keep my attention away from my nausea and headache as it waxed and waned repeatedly through the day. I keep coming back to Adam's album.

I also listened to an EP that Tommy, Patrick, Tony Kevin and I recorded the evening before our tour. It was an impromptu session of singing hymns. Tony wants to release it, so maybe we'll share it sometime. It's raw, but it's honest. We weren't even paying attention to the fact that we were recording ourselves. Because of the nature of the music, it's rather intimate. I'd enjoy sharing it, but I'd also like to keep it private. We'll see.

Songs: "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing", "How Deep The Father's Love For Us", "Nearer, Still, Nearer", "Thy Mercy", "'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus".

Anyhow... I keep thinking I'm about to fall asleep, but it has yet to happen.

Goodnight.
