Once I was a new moon.
No light visible, I lived in shadows.
I know You were still shining,
But I struggled to see Your light.
I wax and I wane
And catch Your rays from different sides.
Oh God, You are the same.
It's just my eyes that can't perceive where You are.
Teach me to find hope in the darkest times.
Now I am a full moon
Glowing bright for all, and life feels complete.
No more helpless wandering.
You are faithful to make me glow.
I wax and I wane
And catch Your rays from different sides.
Oh God, You are the same.
It's just my eyes that can't perceive where You are.
Teach me to find hope in the darkest times.
Help me to shine even when You're hard to find.
I know I'll be fine. These phases form my storyline.
Lord, You are my one bright Morning Star.
Even when I can't see You, You are.

This album is just beautiful and stirring. We've known Evan (Holy Fiction's lead singer/guitarist) for years and are huge fans of his previous band, Ethan Durelle. Check this album out! Scales of Motion
John is an old, old friend of ours and, for our money, one of the most incredible songwriters out there. "Earthbound Blues" is his best yet, but you really can't go wrong with any album of his. Scales of Motion
