Out of a season of trying too hard to pull myself up by my bootstraps, to will myself to perfection, to keep it all together as a mom, wife, artist, I collapsed in exhaustion, at the end of myself, and crawled into the shadow of His wings. I finally saw how law-driven I'd become and how much I needed to hear the gospel of grace again and receive it as truth again in my life. This is my confession. My anthem of soul-surrendering.
lyrics
I come to the end.
Face down in my fear.
You have led me here.
My heart is a stone,
Compelled by my own cause
Beneath the law I’m crushed.
Disarmed, and bleeding out,
Consumed, consuming doubt.
Come, not to treat the well,
But sick and dying heal.
The Victor stands between
Eternal death and me
I know the One whose love
Brought low my burdened soul
To show me, ”once for all,”
That I may SEE and taste.
And fall into his hold,
A child, undone by grace.
Why do what I do?
What I believe in light
Dark threatens to unwind
My bones waste away
The searing light unveils
The tempter’s disarray.
Though flailing, fighting, hard,
And failing every test,
I never leave your hold.
In this, my soul will rest.
The Victor stands between
Eternal death and me
I know the One whose love
Brought low this burdened soul
To show me, ”once for all,”
That I may see and taste.
Surrender to his hold,
A child, undone by grace.
The Victor stands between
Eternal death and me
I know the One whose love
Brought low this bur dened soul
To show me, ”once for all,”
That I may see and taste.
Surrender to his hold,
A child, undone by grace.

The Real Matt Jones reaches into the commonplace with his poignant lyricism and vocal prowess and gives fresh sound and authenticity to the music he writes. A genuinely talented musician! Caitelen
I'm swept into the nuance of noise, tone, tension and release, in this post-rock narrative. Intuitively arranged, superbly mixed. My only complaint is that there aren't more tracks to enjoy! Caitelen
