New Living Translation (NLT)
[Italics] added by author.

This is the song that set everything in motion. My first Isaiah song. My first ever Bible song.

Until a few years ago, I wasn't even a believer. I was a singer/guitarist in a rockband. Suffered from severe depression for over 20 years. Lived a suicidal life-style. I never felt at home in this world. Had addictions to fill the hole in my soul.

Then in 2019, I had an encounter with my amazingly good Father. He took me out of the pit, gave me new life, new clothes, a mission, and here I am.

Project of Love started because in my quiet time, January 2021, the Holy Spirit whispered: "grab your guitar and sing what you're reading." I was reading this particular Isaiah. A praise song for and to God that emerged from the depths of my soul to the surface.

I vividly remember I was deeply moved when I sang this song for the first time. This praise song has always been waiting and longing to get out. After God freed me from 20 plus years of depression and wanting to die, I could now drink with JOY from the fountain of salvation.

I quit my job and am putting the Bible to music. For as long as He wants me to.

Never in a million years had I dreamed I would be doing this. I had heard of the Bible, but found it a stuffy, dusty, boring, old book. That was then. He's blessed me with a raw hunger, a craving for the Word.

These days, I NEED it. I love His beautiful Word. Cannot live without it!

Man.. can you say: God is good! "🔥😍
