You are my shepherd, I will no longer live in need
You lay my head in greener pastures
Where quiet waters flow
You restore my soul
Restore my soul
You guide me onwards through paths of righteousness
For the glory of Your name
Even though I tread the valley of shadows
What shall I fear?
I know You're with me, my Comforter
You prepare my way
Your sweet anointing, my cup it overflows
With Your endless love
Restore my soul
You restore my soul
Your love it captivates me
Saturates me
Your love is like fire, burning deep inside my heart
I abandon at Your feet
All my fears and failings in You dissolve
Take my heart and make it clean
Recreate in me Your true design
I long to walk with You always
I exalt You
I abandon at Your feet
All my fears and failings in You dissolve
Take my heart and make it clean
Recreate in me Your true design
I long to walk with You always
I exalt You
Yahweh
Your name be praised
You are always near to me
Father I find rest in Your endless love
I know Your love never fails
Your love, Your love
and I know Your light never fades
So shine on, shine on
Let Your praise be ever on my tongue
Shine on faithful one
I long to see Your kingdom come
You are always near to me
Father I find rest in Your endless love
I am captured by Your light
My God I am made whole in You
I know Your love never fails
Your love, Your love
and I know Your light never fades
So shine on, shine on
Let Your praise be ever on my tongue
Shine on faithful one
I long to see Your kingdom come
Your love breaks these chains
Holding me beneath the waves
Your love lights the way
So I can see You
So I can see You
So shine on, shine on
Let Your praise be ever on my tongue
Shine on faithful one
I long to see Your kingdom come
Although this body grows weary
You never let me fall
And though these oceans surge beneath me
These waves do me no harm
I face this storm from a lighthouse
What now shall I fear?
Your mercy dove into the deep
These shadows held me tight
The grasp of Your love unwavering
Pulls me into the light
I face this storm from a lighthouse
What now shall I fear?
The earth may shake and the skies my fall
But I know You're near
I put my trust in You Father
In You I know I can never fade
No matter what this world may offer
You remain
Emmanuel
Your love never fails
This valley of bones before me
Awakened by the breath of Your light
Though these oceans surge beneath my feet
You reign
Emmanuel
Your love never fails
Where darkness is your fire?
And death, your victory?
My God is with me
He never fails me
Emmanuel
Your love never fails
Father, You are the light on my path
When shadows encircle, in You I find rest
You hold me in the palm of Your hand
My rock and my comfort, Saviour and friend
Even when my heart is weak
In You I find strength
When I can't stand on my own two feet
You're all I need
Father, You hold me close when I am broken
When everything is falling, in You I am unharmed
You hold me up when by these waves I'm overcome
My fortress and deliverer
I'm found in Your arms
Even when my heart is weak
In you I find strength
When I can't stand on my own two feet
You're all I need
When this ocean is to deep
You pull me to shore
When these old mountains are far to steep
You're all I need
You are my strength whenever I fall
Whenever I fall
You are the light that keeps my afloat
That keeps me afloat
You hold me close
When my heart is overwhelmed
My God, You are my all
Let Your spirit fall
Come and saturate me
Let Your spirit fall
Like the rain in this storm
about
This EP is something pretty different for me, and its almost scary to release it, especially to people who might only know me as 'Disho' from whatever various extreme metal projects they know me from, but I felt it was something I needed to do; to express my faith in God in my own words, my own music, from where I'm at, not just by the words we sing on a Sunday morning at church written by someone else.
The songs are simple, but the words come from my heart, and from a place of passionate love for my God. Dig it!

Croyez-le ou non, j'ai écouté cet album en intégralité, et sans interruption ! Si, si, je vous assure ! Bon, d'accord, j'avoue que j'ai pensé à deux ou trois reprises à appuyer sur pause, histoire de souffler un peu. J'ai même prié à un moment pour qu'il y ait une coupure de courant, trouvant ainsi le prétexte idéal... mais non ; d'une traite vous dis-je ! Le pire dans tout ça, c'est que je ne regrette même pas. Incorrigible le type ! Poesy Rider
This is an incredibly unique musical experience! Ingenious composition and technical mastery combined with a powerful vocal performance, what a fantastic album! medwards_the_metalhead
