kenlight I last heard Jeff in the early 1980s. My 24 year old self thought his offerings were delightfully thoughtful. I nearly wore out the one cassette I had, which I lost.
I'm listening to this album and am relishing in the beauty and wonderful tapestry you have woven. My 60 year old self is more stirred. Bravo Jeff!

I LOOK TO THE HILLS I look to the hills – from where does my help come from? It comes from the maker of heaven and earth. My keeper will not let my foot slip – he does not slumber; nor does he sleep at night. He is the shade on my right hand – the sun will not smite me by day, nor the moon by night. He keeps my soul from evil, he guards my soul from evil, he guards my going out and coming in again, from this day forth and evermore. From Psalm 121 / Music by Jeff Johnson © 2011 Sola Scriptura Songs (BMI) GOD ALONE SUFFICES Let nothing disturb you, Let nothing alarm you. While all things are passing; God is unchanging. Be patient and you will gain everything, With God in your heart nothing is lacking. God alone suffices, God alone suffices. Words attributed to Teresa of Avila / Music by Jeff Johnson © 2011 Sola Scriptura Songs (BMI)

CREATOR OF THE STARRY HEIGHT God, Creator of the starry height, Illumine the distance with Your light, That we might see Christ Jesus, Who on our behalf walked with us.   The greatness of His power unfurled Resounded in all the world. From heaven to the earth below, Caused every knee to tremble low.   To You, O Christ, we humbly pray, As our Judge that future Day. Teach us now Your will to do, And to grow in faith in You.  Amen. 6th century hymn (English translation by Chris Haymond) Music by Brian Moss / Arrangement by Jeff Johnson © 2007 Sola Scriptura Songs (BMI) An instrumental version of this track is also featured on STANDING STILL.
