When you fall, the ground will be soft where you land.
Though you grapple in the night, you rest in His hands.
Beautiful, foreboding cloud overhead.
Behind it the sun shines, but learn from this moment instead.
Let me drown in Your holy waters.
The night's not long for those who call You Father.
It takes all of my concentration to see the bright side.
The ground below swallowed me up for a time.
It was the dark night of my soul, the absence of all that's sublime.
Oh, but isn't this just what I've needed to feel?
Give me rainy days, for I know the torn skies will soon heal.
Let me drown in Your holy waters.
The night's not long for those who call You Father.
We fall into the deep, still we sing Hallelujah.

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
