I AM BLOG.

Today is more than me
The disarray of things that I can only hold or see
For today You shine Your light
What You say that’s more than words is spoken in your eyes
 
Colors in array
Will show themselves before we fly away
Colors in array
 
For love and for the day
For love, for truth, for life, and all eternity
For this song You shine Your light
For this song that’s more than words will reach into Your eyes
 
Colors in array
Will show themselves before we fly away
Colors in array

This song is about the messiness of life. Yet, when we step back we find that it is the beautiful mosaic that we are a part of. We go through life learning how to see this. We grow, we learn. The weight of eternity is pulling us forward. The closer we get, the more vivid the colors of life become. What has seemed like chaos becomes a work of art. –Eric OwYoung

When you think of O Holy Night, there is this idea of quietness and rest, which is how the song starts. But when you think about a night being divine and the fullness of God becoming flesh, that is an extremely intense moment. When we get to that moment on the Christmas tour in the set, that kind of summarizes my feelings about Christmas and God. It’s this intensity and beauty… I live for this moment. — Eric Owyoung

This song [Traveler's Song] is what gave birth to the entire 3 album Travel series. Travel is a subject that seems to open up all sorts of songs about the long journey. Although many of my songs have been about home, I have come to realize that this life here is, in essence, varying spaces that we travel through. Hence came the 3 EP’s releasing every 4 months this year featuring air travel, sea travel, and land travel.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but Future of Forestry is one of THE MOST TALENTED bands I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. These guys are musical geniuses.

Travel II EP is going to be released soon and this time the theme is travel by sea. So far I like Set your Sails the best. The deep rumble of the bass accompanied by the treble of the cymbals really give you a sense of the ocean–waves pounding on the rocks and the shower of water that accompanies it.

Listen to some of the new stuff on their MySpace page. Be sure to check out the videos too. It will show you just how talented these guys are.

He won’t let you go
The moment that you say
Come and live in me
Take me all the way
What He said is true
He will never leave you
Forever by your side, it’s true

He won’t let you go
Though the seasons change
He’s never been so close
He’s just a prayer away
When you hear the Father’s call
When He’s calling to you
Run into His arms
Don’t hesitate to do it

He won’t let you go
When he’s forever by your side
He wants you to know
Jesus has paid the price
He wants you to go
Forever in paradise
Getting close to Him
Is really all you have to do
And even when you die
He will still be by Your side
