Hey y'all! Wanted to post a brand new original today but didn't have time to get the video ready, so here's a cover of a song I really love by an incredible artist who goes by the name of Ed Sheeran. If you haven't heard his version yet, please look it up so you can cry and cry. Also, please excuse the multiple mistakes in this "one-take". This song was a lot harder to sing and play (and remember lyrics for) than I thought. Hope you enjoy it!

I wrote this song with my friend, Aodhan King (Hillsong Y&F / Hillsong Worship). It's one of the most honest and vulnerable songs I've written to date. It's laid out as a raw prayer to God. This recording is the unmixed, untouched, raw voice memo audio from the first time I sang it. Full song coming with the new album July 31st...

I was right there listening So just fall into the mystery I’ll meet you in the melody So please try just to try again So child would you try again My child you can love again
