The next single off of the upcoming album ‘Hydraulics’ is called “Surf” and it just released! I was inspired to write this from a quote/devotional that I’ll share below. My friend Camilla texted me the quote one day and I had no intention of writing a song about it, but this chorus came to mind and was stuck in my head for literally days because it was so applicable to life. Hope it speaks to you too. Thanks for listening!
“…the bedrock of our Christian faith is the unmerited, fathomless marvel of the love of God exhibited on the Cross of Calvary, a love we never can and never shall merit. Paul says this is the reason we are more than conquerors in all these things, super-victors, with a joy we would not have but for the very things which look as if they are going to overwhelm us. The surf that distresses the ordinary swimmer produces in the surf-rider the super joy of going clean through it. Apply that to our own circumstances, these very things – tribulation, distress, persecution, produce in us the super joy; they are not things to fight. We are more than conquerors through Him in all these things, not in spite of them, but in the midst of them. (…) “I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation,” says Paul. Undaunted radiance is not built on anything passing, but on the love of God that nothing can alter. The experiences of life, terrible or monotonous, are impotent to touch the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” - Oswald Chambers
“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Romans 8:37
