HEAVEN’S SONG

In June 2020, we had a miscarriage. It was painful and confusing and difficult to know how to feel. Eventually we moved on, but as a parent, it’s strange how you never really forget the ones you never even got to meet. In fact, we never forget any of the ones that we lose. So when we started writing this album, we knew we wanted to write this song about Heaven, and about longing for eternity but living in the tension of this life - existing between the now and the not yet. We’ve all been through so much these past few years - we’ve experienced loss, difficulty, confusion and just a ton of change. It was important to us to acknowledge how hard life can sometimes be, but also to paint a picture of what it looks like to worship in the midst of it. Ultimately, we wanted to remind ourselves that one day every question will have an answer, one day we will be reunited with those we’ve lost, there will be no more sickness or disease, and we will all be together worshiping around the throne. I can’t wait to hug my grandparents again, hold this little one for the first time, and stand face to face with Jesus, caught up in his Glory. I guess that’s the takeaway. 

There is always hope. Jesus changes everything.
