I've always been very partial to this song, and I always wanted to record a proper version of it. It's just a quiet song to God that's close to my heart. I still truly believe that His love never fails us, even when our love (for Him, for anyone) fails so easily.

lyrics
You gave me a hand,
when I was drowning in the sea.
Alone.
You did it again,
walked the water gracefully,
to take me home.
And you say,
"It's alright cause I've got you,
and I will stay."
I will love you forever.
I will love you forevermore.
A vessel of holes,
can't brave the waves that life will bring.
And you say,
"Peace be still!"
Wave your hands and calm the storm.
And you say,
"Take my hand. Son I've got you,
and I will stay."
I will love you forever.
I will love you forevermore.
Oh my God,
you came to my rescue.
Saved my life,
and I cried because I've got you.
Now, and forever.
I will love you forever.
I will love you forevermore.
Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack! H.L.
Oh well, Christmas is approaching... time to buy at least one Christmas album! I'm not a fan of Christmas, as it is celebrated today, nor do I like the typical cheesy Christmas music played everywhere these days. So it had to be something special. The "crash test" for this album was the version of "Silent Night", which nobody managed to get right so far. Well, with the exception of "Falling Up". Frankly, as a fan of Jessy Ribordy, I'm not surprised that much... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it. Francis Berglund
