Madelyn Album Story

NAMING OF THE ALBUM

Early on in my songwriting God introduced me to Madelyn. A loving faithful Sister in Christ who is leading the youth in a massive way around the world to the Father. I am so inspired by her walk with the Lord at such a young age. She was one of the first people in the Body Of Christ I spoke with once I emerged from my cocoon. Instantly, I felt the love of Jesus between us. She requested this country album and the work He did in both of us while going through the writing process was parallel. That’s what He does, He uses us to connect with one another and to Him in new ways everyday. When she asked me to make it I felt it was her handing her heart to God and asking Him to please pull her closer to what speaks to her heart. He did, he’s faithful and He used me to do it. I am honored, humbled and in awe of how when we take just one step in His direction His wind will catch our wings and do the rest.

ALBUM STORY

I went into writing this album with the idea that I would write an album about all His promises.

Then I started searching scripture in my mission to learn about the first one, His presence in my life.

What unfolded was beautiful and after close to 18 days I found I had enough to write a whole album about just one promise. 

For a really long time I shut the door to my heart to be alone. Whether it was from pain, sin or my past I was trying to escape from, it was my normal method of operating. 

No matter how much I knew He loved me and that His arms were always open with forgiveness I still stayed gone. The walls of Jericho would go up and I would spend that time trying to escape who I was. 

After this study and what I learned from Him during our time writing these songs together was that He never left. He couldn’t leave. He made a commitment to me that He is unable to break. 

I had an earthly Father who, from my early childhood, was always the source of my emotional pain and never the source of my comfort.

During the time I wrote this album God told me He would never be the source of my pain and ALWAYS the source of my comfort. The exact opposite of all I had ever known from a Father. This was a breakthrough that ended my door locking routine. A deliverance that you will hear about in the songs.

ALBUM ART

Not long before I started writing songs with Jesus I went through a country phase in worship music and art. I painted the album cover of the lamb and when it was done I couldn’t believe it came from me. It was the work of the Holy Spirit and it hangs in my living room as a reminder to how He is the artist and I am the canvas. I pray you will let Him paint a life for you that you can never do for yourself.
