"I've felt stirred for years that our worship music is like a foreign language to those outside the church. Also, I've grown quite tired of and frustrated by the serious limitations of what has almost become a praise and worship 'genre'. My heart from the word 'go' has always been aware of those on the outside. I've felt challenged for a while to write something that anyone outside of our faith can really identify with, and yet at the same time stir questions and hopefully a hunger for truth and for spiritual reality as well as extend the hope of mercy and restoration. My hope is that it will find it's own life and it's own place out there alongside any other music on the radio and in the shops. We'll be rehearsing a live show and putting some dates together."
