Night Garden is perhaps the most precious, and most personal song of this project. It is gorgeous to listen to...but perhaps difficult to hear. Arranged with simple piano, cello and hauntingly beautiful vocals, Night Garden is the story in song of the believer's journey into mature love, and a call to repentance from self-centred, comfortable Christianity, from lukewarmness, into death to self and being clothed with Christ.

With its subtle R&B/jazz/electro pop nuances, AWAKE feels lush, warm and expansive in spite of its deceptively simple arrangement. The easy groove sits as counterpoint to the almost urgent cry in the lyrics and melody, and the layered vocals-for-days in the bridge rush in like water. The song is a deeply personal prayer, an exhortation to the Bride of Christ, and reads like a Psalm in a modern setting.

Paragon is the first of seven new releases - like the multi-facets of a diamond - each extolling a piece of the radiance of the glory of God in the face of Christ. Each song is crafted around facets of His Person, and all work together to cause us to gaze on Jesus - the visible image of the invisible God. He is the Paragon.💎
