Oh God and the world changed. Stumbling, squeaking in the daylight. Wanna run, but sometimes you gotta wait. Last track in the desert storm. Retrace crumbs, leading no way. Round in circles is a falling alone. Tryna get back, tryna get back. Tryna find my way. It's true. At the bottom of myself, it's you hard time a memory. Life is great, but your face is great. It's still the plan on the past and now it's fade. It's turn around and it's done the fate. The path of the well step the path of myself, it's you get the master, it's you the bottom of the bell, you the clock is gifted well, it's true, cut the bottom of the still, it's you follow the bell, it's the few stiff and twelve, it's true, cut the bottom of the stuff, it's you. Make my life rage by giving it all away. Making the margins wide, forgotten the calm and sight, the youngest to be my guide. The first becomes a lead. Life rises in reverse.

Try and under my feet, you'll never forget about me. Try and under my feet, you'll never forget about me. You fight for me. I win the time. He knows my head my name. He knows my name. He knows my name.

SPEAKER_07 23:01

Okay, tell me a bit about the song I Am.

SPEAKER_08 23:05

I'm super excited about that song because that song comes from a space of uh a few years ago, two years ago, I I I had lost my father. That song comes from that space of how God proved himself to be my father, how he also proved that he is covering me, how he proved that he is comforting me in the midst of mourning, and that he is listening out for me, listening out for my voice, listening out for my tears and my cries is very meaningful for me because it's from that moment in my life where I felt I learned something new about God. You can't exhaust him, you know, he's almighty, he's all knowing. But in the same breath, it's you get as excited when you learn a new characteristic about him. And one thing that I learned is that he is very present, and I know we feel it all the time, but I did not experience that presentness, so to speak, until I was in my season of grief and mourning, and so that's what that thing represented for me.

SPEAKER_06 24:49

That mountain's gonna win. Whatever it takes to know I'm God that I sound just so you know.

unknown 25:21

I will never let you be in color.

SPEAKER_06 25:27

I'll never let my mercy be shipped on. I will never let you wait in the wonder. I'll never let you feel that my promise is made. Oh the mountain's gotta move, the sea is gotta, whatever it takes to know that fire won't stay.

SPEAKER_07 27:11
