There is a name which brings peace, which calms the raging seas within our hearts.
There is a name which shines into the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There is a name which brings forth victory over death and pain and suffering.
Jesus.
Hello World, 2019; it’s been a while since I’ve completed an original song.
I just finished reading Paul Tripp’s “Suffering”, and it was an eye-opener on how we experience suffering and how we can grow and rejoice through it. In the final chapter of the book, we are reminded of Paul’s struggle in 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, in which he refers to his suffering as a light momentary affliction. And such is the truth that we suffer for only a moment, for we have victory and hope over suffering because of the redeeming work of the Cross!

I originally envisioned a post-hardcore/screamo version, but I really don’t have the voice for that, nor the raw screaming energy. However, using open-D tuning and the chords I would have used for that version, we get this little cry to the Lord.
