I wrote this song a few years ago when I was learning about my identity in Christ as well as at the time, really feeling like I was struggling to hear from Him. I wanted to convey a message of it doesn't matter what's happening around us, that God is for us and He loves us in and through our circumstances.

This song puts us in the place of looking ahead at Heaven and the joy ahead. Using the image from the parable of the prodigal son, where the father runs to his son from afar, welcoming him home. In that place there will be eternal worship. A song like this may not be seen often, and I hope that this comforts and blesses you.

'He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”' Inspired by Psalm 46:10 this song describes what that 'being still' looks like for me in every day life. It serves as an affirmation before God that, though I struggle with it, I will seek to be obedient. It also serves as a reminder to myself that not only is this something I should do, but that ultimately it is for my benefit. I'm very grateful to Andy Biggs for giving his time to help improve the sound of the very rough recording I sent him. Both using his production skills to get the best out of the recording I sent, and adding in additional instrumentation to give it a richer overall sound.
This is a song about longing for and experiencing the Holy Spirit but knowing the truth that He lives inside us. John 7 v 37-39 "On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’" Jesus promised that streams of Living Water would flow from within us - Living Water flow!! Wonderfully arranged and produced by Mike Sandeman and with backing vocals from my daughter, Bekah Vickers-Patel. This song works really well with just guitar and vocal, particularly with the refrain "Living Water Flow".
