about

Each summer, we gather with several other families for a week of fun together. I wrote the first half of this song during one of those family vacations to the mountains. When we (finally!) got the kids tucked into bed, all the adults sat quietly in rocking chairs on the porch watching fireflies. The quiet after a full day outdoors with kids was the most beautiful sound. Yet, it was full of mountain sounds, and it was a richer quiet for my heart than mere silence void of any sound. This quiet felt like a healing balm going deep into my soul and refreshing its weariness. Nature does this so powerfully. This song is a celebration of that quiet.

I wrote the second half in a castle in Austria days before I was to kiss my husband goodbye and get on a plane bound for Iraq. I was playing a piano at the top of the castle's spire overlooking the hills (that, yes, were alive with the sound of music). That evening, as the sun set upon the piano, I felt the fear I held for the trip ahead begin to melt away. The more times I sang over and over, "fears lose their hold on me" the more that became my reality. This song has been a healing balm for me, and my hope is that this song and this entire record touches your heart in those deep places where you long for healing. That way, you too can sing, "fears lose their hold on me."

lyrics

Fireflies light the sky
Bid farewell to the day
The air is calm, a healing balm
The sky is turning grey
It's quiet quiet, it's quiet quiet

Echo over me under stars and trees
Gentle lullabies in the skies and seas
Fears lose their hold on me

It’s quiet quiet, it's quiet quiet
It’s quiet quiet, it's quiet quiet

Silence echoes on the hills
Summons sanctuary
And all around seems to pause
In reverence of the beauty
It's quiet quiet, it's quiet quiet

Chorus

Awakening mystery
The silence is not empty
It's full of God, it’s full of life
Washing over me
It's quiet quiet, it's quiet quiet
It's quiet quiet quiet

Chorus

Fears lose their hold on me
Fears lose their hold on me
Fears lose their hold on me

It's quiet quiet, it's quiet quiet
