These songs are not praise proclamations from the other side of the River Jordan; instead, they are confessions of unworthiness and need. “We’re Just Getting Started” is a story of many things human: of the “unexpected longer winters” in our soul, of hearts broken by personal loss and withering dreams, of hardened hearts praying for release, of conviction over our abandonment of God and the ones who stood steadfast in love. Foremost, these selections are a story of the need to move to light, to break the spell of delusions that are pathways to loneliness and anguish and self-betrayal. The voice that carries these tales senses well the power of the troubling night, but delivers in its beautiful clarity and intimacy a promise of hope.
