Here’s another song from the “Honeymoon” album for your consideration.

To set the stage: I was new in the Lord. I had only recently been called by Jesus—“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” I had left everything to go where He would send me. It was a costly decision, giving up all I had known.

Each day, I was learning about Him—His kingdom and His ways. And more than anything, I wanted to be worthy of that calling. I just wanted to hold on one more day, to keep going, and not give up the fight.

If you’ve seen The Chosen or other Bible-based films about the disciples and their three years with Jesus, you can imagine what it felt like. There was deep joy in watching Him work and learning from Him—but also confusion. I found myself surrounded by unexpected people and wrestling with ideas that challenged everything I had previously believed.

In the middle of it all, this became my prayer:  Help me hang on. Let me stay just one more day. Let me fight another night. Let me remain and serve the Master.

There’s a passage in Hebrews 11:15–16 that captures this tension well:
“They would have had opportunity to return… but now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country.”

There is always the danger of looking back—of losing sight of where we’re headed by focusing on where we came from. I didn’t want that. I wanted to keep my eyes on the prize.

That desire—both the struggle and the determination—is what gave birth to this song, and to that prayer.
