My thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways my ways says the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than yours. Isa: 55:9
"Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are towards us: they cannot be counted up in order to you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." Psalms:40:5 This is what my music is all about.

Story behind the song
One day while visiting in Minnesota I came upon an old church that had been converted into a tropical fish store. There was a huge and very beautiful stained glass window above the front door of Jesus the Good Shepherd that was still illuminating the whole building inside. The entire scene seemed ironic to me and it spoke to me silently.
Lyrics
In a Midwest town I used to know Theres a church that somehow lost its name In Minnesota where the cold wind blows Oh Jesus who put out that candles flame? Now its filled with water tanks and bowls And men of fish its an aquarium store Once a place God used for saving souls Fishers of men arent found there anymore High up on the wall youll see A blazing shepherd with His flock of sheep Its a stained glass window but its crying to me Oh how have you fallen so fast asleep? No more pulpit and theres no more pews No sound of voices singing worship songs No more preachers spreading the Good News It makes me wonder, What on Earth went wrong? So in the winter when its thirty below And life is frozen in that little old town Theres only one place colder that I know The empty church where people let Him down High up on the wall youll see A blazing shepherd with His flock of sheep Its a stained glass window but its crying to me Oh how have you fallen so fast asleep? In a Midwest town I used to know Theres a church that somehow lost its name In Minnesota where the cold wind blows Oh Jesus who put out that candles flame? Oh how, oh how, how have you fallen? (repeat and fade)
