When the World Slowed Down 03:54
lyrics
buy track
When the World Slowed Down they say you could hear birds in New York City for the first time in years the sky above LA looked so pretty it’s never been so clear when you walked the streets of Paris you heard the ducks along the Seine Oh... When the world slowed down the heartache and the hope of every city rose like a song callin’ out from the rooftops and balconies loud and strong in the cries of our neighbors we heard the echoes of our own Oh... When the world slowed down for a moment we remembered just how fragile life can be when every moment feels so tender it’s enough just to breathe Oh... When the world slowed down

Falling Out of Time 03:54
lyrics

Falling Out of Time I’m out of step Out of tune out of breath Too late too soon The ticking clock Is keeping time but I got lost Somewhere along the line I keep falling, keep falling In and out of time, falling out of time (Repeat) back and forth In between Who I was before And someone I could be Running fast Chasing dreams I rush right past What’s right in front of me I keep falling keep falling In and out of time, falling out of time (Repeat) Maybe If I slow down look around Take a breath get out of my head I could be here now I don’t wanna lose time haunted by memories Or what could be I want to be here now but I keep falling falling and out of time, (Repeat) I keep falling keep falling In and out of time, falling out of time Be here now Be here now Nowhere else but here I wanna be here now (x2) I keep falling keep falling In and out of time, falling out of time I keep falling keep falling In and out of time, falling out of time

Love Does 03:26
lyrics

Love Does in the beginning it was love author of everything imagining you and me Spirit breathing into us the story of who we are: beloved of God if we ever once forget... it’s written in the stars tattooed on our hearts buried in our veins like blood even when we don’t believe the story of us love does Faithful and tender only love Sees the best in us Believes in us Love remembers who we are And in the face of lies Takes our side No matter what we’ve heard… It’s written in the stars Tattooed on our hearts Buried our veins like blood Even When we don’t believe the story of us Love does Even when we start to give up Love’s not giving up on us Even when our own hearts fail us Love won’t fail us love won’t fail us Love won’t fail us When we’ve been living in a lie we made up When all we hear is how we’re never good enough When every road we follow only gets us stuck When we can’t see ahead to who we could become When we lose ourself and start to come apart When we don’t realize how beautiful we are It’s written in the stars Tatooed on our hearts Buried in our veins like blood When we don’t believe When no one else believes Love believes in us, love does It’s written in the stars Tattooed on our hearts Buried in our veins like blood Even when we don’t believe the story of us Love does, love does

Amateurs 03:35
lyrics

Amateurs We’ve spanned the oceans mastered the mountains built cities learned to fly We set our eyes on distant horizons Solve mysteries of space and time The very thing that matters most Is the thing we know the least about We’re still amateurs Only amateurs We’re still amateurs Amateurs at love Amateurs at love We earn degrees in science and reason Create great works of art We’ve become experts at proving our net worth Quote our sacred books by heart The very thing that matters most Is the thing we know the least about We’re still amateurs Only amateurs We’re still amateurs Amateurs at love Amateurs at love Amateurs at love Ten million love songs and still we get it wrong I guess we’re only human All of our hearts ache can’t find the love we crave Why don’t we just admit We’re still amateurs With so much to learn We’re still amateurs Amateurs at love Amateurs at love Amateurs of love Amateurs at love At love, at love, love We’re only amateurs, amateurs We’re only, we’re only only amateurs At love

How a Heart Grows When I was younger the world was small Never had to wonder Cuz I knew it all I was certain so certain Who was right and wrong Now that I’m older The world has grown My heart has been broken What I used to know Has been tested, what’s left is All the questions Ooh ooh ooh Only God knows How a heart grows How a heat grows I think it’s in the moments when you feel it all the hurting and the hoping are too much to hold when it’s hardest staying open take it all in Ooh ooh ooh Only God knows How a heart grows Sometimes broken open Sometimes slowly unfolding Sometimes without warning Something blooms Sometimes rushing over Sometimes piecing together Sometimes arms wide open Love makes room Oooh, ooh, Ooh, Only god knows Oooh, ooh, Ooh, Only god knows how a heart grows How a heart grows When I was younger the world was small Never had to wonder Cuz I knew it all

Every Little Yes 03:47

Every Little Yes I’m here to state my resolution Starting today I’m not gonna waste A minute of my time Each days’s a sacred invitation A beautiful gift I’m gonna live As long as I’m alive Every little yes Opens a door Lets in some more Goodness and happiness Yes turns on a light Dares you to find more sweetness every little yes Every little yes I hereby grant myself permission To follow a whim Yield to the wind Of serendipity I won’t be looking back and wishing I’d taken a chance To get up and dance At ev-ery opportunity Every little yes Opens a door Lets in some more Goodness and happiness Yes turns on a light Dares you to find more sweetness every little yes EVery little You never know what’s hiding in a moment Or what’s inside a gift until you open it So many tiny miracles to witness Oh the possibilities are limitless Infinite Endless Just say yes every little yes Every little every little Every little yes Every little every little Yes Opens a door Let’s in some more Goodness and happiness Yes turns on a light You're gonna find more sweetness With every little yes

about

These songs were written and recorded during the pandemic of 2020, when we experienced for the first time what it was like to grieve, hope, and pray together globally. This EP is my attempt to create something redemptive and beautiful out of that experience and others in this season when I’ve felt my heart and faith grow in unexpected ways. Many thanks the friends and financial supporters who helped take this project from ideas to finished songs. I’m humbled by your generosity and so glad my music has found a place in your hearts.
