Tiny Morsels 03:45
orn into a future so bright Surrounded by a narrow view of new life Shielded from the thought of true strife Every tithe a tantamount confession That what I’m buying is divine permission To live the life that consumes my vision Every single tiny morsel down the wretched hatch What will we say when we would not offer The very things that fed us for slaughter We knew the way but could not be bothered I know your book and I know your Jesus But he’s no king he’s an inconvenience How can you mean that he came to free us Every single tiny morsel down the wretched hatch Every hand a rigid fist the venom of the asp Every soul that’s bent on evil Every saint that’s passed We cannot mend our very breath until we breathe our last

In Flux 05:44
Does anybody even recognize common grace The simplest of things are the hardest to taste If seeing is believing then your faith cannot be real How can you comprehend what is carefully concealed A sincere friend A child’s hand A will to mend I’ll never understand Does anybody even recognize depravity The simplest offenses multiply in gravity If wisdom comes with age then death cannot be real How can you comprehend what is cleverly concealed A rush to rend A sleight of hand A lifespan’s end I’ll never understand

about

Hill and Vale Ames, Iowa

As hills and valleys show dynamics in nature, so are the sincere existentialist themes of Hill + Vale delivered thru music best summed up by Tolkien: “one was…wide and beautiful, but slow and blended with an immeasurable sorrow, from which its beauty chiefly came. The other…essayed to drown the other music by the violence of its voice, but…taken by the other and woven into its own solemn pattern.” ... more
