She dares to give voice to the Holy Spirit, calling believers into a state of worship. The lyrics are deeply heartfelt and passionate. The production is low-budget, but this only adds to the authenticity of the piece. It begins with percussion and an acoustic guitar playing arpeggio, both of which continue throughout. On the first verse, an electronic keyboard enters, and although it is synthetic and thin, it uses a voice that gestures at the majesty of God, and it is played with significant skill and artistry, adding to an understated yet somewhat sophisticated arrangement. The lead vocal is doubled, with significant timing differences between the two takes. I usually don't like this, but on this piece, since she is giving voice to the Holy Spirit, the out-of-phase effect of the two lead vocals actually adds a spooky dimension, like a voice coming from I-know-not-where, so I don't mind it, except where there are pitch issues. I didn't like this recording at first, but it grew on me pretty quickly. Keep on making your music, and keep on being you! You are unique.

You have a unique resonance in the sound of your voice. A special vocal talent anointed to attract and quicken those who hear your voice speaking or singing to heed the “still small voice” and return to Him. For others who do not yet have His Holy Spirit in them, your voice still attracts them when you speak or sing the words He gives you. It is A Message to do as the sinners did and repent. As the Apostles did in the Book of Acts when they traveled far and wide to preach Christ crucified for the atonement of mankind’s sins to win the lost. These lyrics as I hear and see the song to my heart are still incomplete. The message of these lyrics about The Mission regarding those shadows. I mean that the shadows will be dispelled when “His Holy Spirit’s Light and glory will be poured out to fill on all flesh.” when as He promised so He will do as stated in Joel 2:28-9
