Love this album for sentment’s sake.  Deleted it from my collection for Christ and me, and this is His and my month via the calendar.  Love Him so—more than ever, now.

this song & album was released in 1995. 

that year, Creation Festival (an annual, multi-day, 100+ band Christian music festival) was cancelled for the first time, due to severe flooding on the farm where it was normally held. 
the van full of my youth group at the time, on the way up to camp at the concert for four days, was alerted to what had happened about half-way there. our church van was pulled over by a state trooper on the lookout to stop us and let us know - this was before cell phones, kids. 

so there we were, a dozen youth & our teachers, with ticket money, camping gear and plans for a 5 or 6 day trip. 

we went camping in the great smoky mountains instead. it rained there too. we played in the rivers and the wet forests, built campfires, studied the Bible and sang hymns.  


our world was a flood. 

we didn't have showers or much in the way of changes of clothing. 

slowly we became one with the mud. 

though disappointed by the canceled festival, we grew closer to each other in brotherly love, and to God, spending our days and nights immersed in His creation and in meditation on Him. 

He lifted us up, when we were falling;
lifted us up, and kept us from drowning again.
