We Limit Not the Truth of God

Simon Brookes It's not often I hear music that stops me in my tracks, this stunning album did however.
I can't remember hearing anything that had such an immediate impact - I've listened to it numerous times and it still hits home...
Sure, the monologue will date in time, but the music and the emotion never will - this truly is a modern day masterpiece.
Stream it, buy it, whatever - just make sure you listen to it, you owe it to both your ears and your soul. Favorite track: Blues and the Alternative Fact.

We limit not the truth of God To our poor reach of mind, To notions of our day and place, Crude, partial, and confined; No, let a new and better hope Within our hearts be stirred: O God, grant yet more light and truth To break forth from your Word.
