Holy Ghost (JMM cover) + What Hope Affords

A song and a new writing
Greetings everyone! Today I’m sharing another hot take cover song, this time by John Mark McMillan. I don’t remember why I learned it, but I’ve been playing it on and off for a couple years or so. I hope you like it. This picture is one I took a night or two ago of mine and my wife’s little boy. He’s actually an old man at 19! Because of the low light in that moment it looks almost like a painting and I loved that. Just had to share it with you. 

WHAT HOPE AFFORDS

Life’s ladder lifts to where son disappeared 
Each rung love or loss
Climb, climb, climb all you dreaming dears
No matter the doves or dross
Like roping the fire, consuming our strands 
Each silver cord vanishing in our hands
What hope affords, what death demands
We rise, we rise, our souls unland
