Jesus' answer to the problems we face.
Just me, banging away in the basement.
I am on a journey. One that leads through rocky, thorny country to a place of infinite beauty. My music is a mix of everything I've ever heard.
Story behind the song
A friend of mine is currently undergoing some serious cancer treatments. I visited him in the hospital and he just looked aweful. On my way home that night, I prayed and asked God what the meaning of all this suffering was. The answer I got was this...If we want Him to, he will catch us, reach us, heal us, and forgive us. In my friend's case, if He wills to heal him in this life, he can. If He does not, my friend will be healed "on the other side of the curtain". I took great comfort in these words.
Lyrics
I know you stand upon that mountain
The one you've fallen off at least a million times.
But I can catch you, I can catch you, if you want me to.
I know you hide behind that wall
the one you built to keep your enemies at bay
but I can reach you, I can reach you, if you want me to.
I know you stand before that curtain
and the doctors say there's nothing they can do
but I can heal you, I can heal you if you want me to.
I can heal you on the other side of the curtain
I can reach you on the other side of the wall
I can catch you when you fall off of that mountain
all you have to do is lift your voice and call
I know you falter everyday
sliding down that slippery slope of sin and shame
but I'll forgive you, I'll forgive you if you want me to.
