We believe our new song addresses this need to see life clearly and to recognize

The beginning of a new year gives everyone an opportunity to reflect on one's life; to evaluate priorities and to recalibrate where necessary. What is central... what is truly most important? Ultimately speaking, where does my life come from and what gives it meaning?

We believe our new song addresses this need to see life clearly and to recognize the fundamental role of God in human life... while at the same time manifesting the beautiful reality of our Father's mysterious, loving presence within his children.
