Taken from the album 'Gold'

Even though the footage of me playing and Becky dancing were filmed on different days and locations... with no prior wardrobe knowledge - Becky had the same make of shirt on ... how weird is that?

I wrote this song in 2016 when in hospital. The struggle with loneliness was unbearable at times. A very close friend told me some hard truths filled with love and compassion including, "if you feel lonely, there's a good chance you don't like the person you're alone with."

At the time this hit hard (and hurt!!), but I knew it was the truth. I kept telling myself I was lonely, so I became convinced I truly was. I couldn't find any love for myself despite knowing how much God loves me and had done in my life. I was so wrapped in trying to run away from my brokenness that I couldn't see all the gracious blessings in my life. It was like sailing the stormy sea in the dark with no control and ravaged by fear.

I was encouraged to lean into my brokenness and endeavour to be more emotionally transparent; something quite counter cultural for men here in Scotland. Learning that I could be honest about how I felt physically, mentally and spiritually with the people I trust was a revelation! I'd spent so many years trying to either run away or put on the mask of a brave face. I grew up in a culture where vulnerability was seen as a weakness. However...

The truth REALLY does set you free!! I let go of the rope! Instead of running from the pain I leaned into it, prayed into it, and developed a compassionate relationship to it. Jesus doesn't run from my pain; He loves that I can share it with him.

This was the game changer; realising I wasn't made to carry this burden on my own lifted such a load. God faithfully led me out of the darkness and into a new dawn filled with love, grace and mercy. Honesty led to the miracle of healing. I learned so much from the pain of my brokenness because I leaned into it with God. It took time, acceptance, honesty, humility and faith, but we got there.

I know there will be storms in the night, but I also know the dawn will ascend. All Glory to God.

This was one of the first songs I listened to this morning after my prayer and Bible meditation. Satan has been reminding me of everything I am not and this was perfect this morning. His grace is ENOUGH! I am amazed to be surrounded by HIS ocean of love. Oh what a Savior! Isn't He wonderful?!!

Thank you for captioning this! Having suffered from 80% hearing loss in my late 20's, my ability to really connect in worship really depends on reading the lyrics. Thank you for exercising your God-given gifts ❤️👏🏼❤️

So I’m listening to this while doing the breakfast dishes, and on “Let there be light, Lord, let it shine” this brilliant shaft of morning sun streams through the window into my eyes and blinding me to all but its light, God’s light. Wow. 🥰

Your voice and your music especially this song is getting me through very dark times, just over a year ago I lost my husband of over 21 years, then the isolation of covid there are times when I don't know how to go on. I turn on music and found yours. God Bless You! you are a Godsend for me. Thank You!

A true song writer. This complexity of lyrically content is what I love about Steph. And it is so necessary when we are worshiping a God who creates so intricately, skillfully and with beautiful complexity.

When we fall in love with Him, we can not help but to breathe in God's Grace and breathe out soul deep praise unto Him. Keep breathing! <3

Sometimes the darkness that surrounds us and feels within us, just reveals the greatness of Gods light that shines on us and through us, to those we love and those who are strangers to love. May we all shine with Love in our communities (both in our every day and online lives) not just in our families. Blessings from South Eastern Australia, Dot
