I managed to pick this up, walk to the counter ,and purchase then it.
It is the songs that have been written over the course of the last year
without Maria.
If you will notice, Steven is on a mountain ledge in China.
I imagine it is one of the few places his heart has peace.
I would think that it is the only place in the world he can go and feel
a little closer to the precious baby that God has called home.
I cannot tell you that the CD is good......only because I have not be able to listen to a single song at length.
The words are beautiful and bone crushing at the same time....it is almost unbearable.
To have enough strength to write the words is one thing, but to be able to
sing them over & over in a studio is more than any human could be expected to do.....and he does it.
I stand in awe of him, his family, and how they have managed to share their grief and faith in the LORD with the world after the death of Maria Sue.
It is amazing , to say the least.
OH- it really is beautiful. I listen to it all the time. It truly is amazing to think he can sing at all, but to hear him sing these songs of his steadfast faith in the aftermath of all they have been through, it truly is a testimony to God's amazing grace!
ReplyDeleteBut, this week as I went to Grace's funeral, I realized what a source of encouragement this will be to other families who will walk the same road SCC has or who will face any other unimaginable loss. Truly, God is using him yet again to minister to others!
I know it must be..I just can't listen to it yet. I guess it just hits too close to home.
ReplyDeleteCaleb says it is good, but he says that he can't listen to a few of them.
Scc really is just an awesome guy.
I am heartbroken for your friends. I am so sorry that they are going through this, too.
