I Am: The EP opener, “ I Am” is a celebration of renewal in Christ. Despite all the struggles and flaws that often hold us back from living a blameless life, we are new creatures in His love; and through His grace we can realize our full spiritual potential. This song contrasts our shortcomings – as seen through our eyes – with our destiny as part of God’s plan.

The Alchemist: “The Alchemist” is written as a metaphorical debate for creation. The song’s protagonist sets out to disprove creationism by showing that through science we have the potential to create and recreate the world around us (alchemy is, by definition, the practice of turning ordinary objects to gold). The first-person narrative follows our scientist as he struggles with research and calculations that point toward a solution he did not intend to find. He finally bows to the evidence, and confesses his conversion to believing in a higher power. The bottom line here is that mankind is the created, not the creator.

Ringing in my Head: This song is about hearing the literal and figurative voice of God. Unfortunately, we (Christians) sometimes tend to follow our own ideas and plans without seeking God’s will beforehand. This can often lead us to places where we feel lost, confused, and weary; this is when we realize that we haven’t been heeding the Lord’s call. This song encourages the listener to pursue an active dialogue with God and constantly listen for His words.

Closer: “Closer” is a reflection on the value of life. The lyrics, penned by singer Scott Taube, are divided into two parts. The first half of the song depicts Taube’s emotions during his grandmother’s long battle with cancer (to which she eventually succumbed) – illustrating the pain and sadness he endured during that time. The second half, built upon the feelings described in the first, takes a step back to look at life in general. Here we find Taube’s realization that a lifespan is indeed fleeting, but is never meaningless – the choices you make and the life you lead on Earth have an eternal effect, and should not be taken lightly. In the end, a resolution is made to live a life dedicated fully to Christ and sharing His love.

The Last Song I Sing: “The Last Song I Sing” is an expression of love. This can be interpreted as love for God, or love for another person, but the message is the same – sometimes we don’t audibly speak our love often enough. In any relationship, with people or with God, it is easy to get caught up talking about/focusing on yourself and your issues. This song urges listeners to think about what is really important in such relationships, and what you would say if you knew it would be the last phrase you would ever speak to that person. “If this is the last song that I sing, I want it to say ‘I love you’”.
