Father of Lights
This song came after a few days of meditating on the book of James, and in particular,
We had been talking about skills and talents, and had been reading aloud The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle, who explains how some people become "the best" at their own particular field, whether music, a sport, a science, or whatever.
The song is gratitude for that created ability to observe, learn and create like my Creator.
