"My Soul, wait in silence only for God

Ramona, Gaye, and John lean into the mystery and power of these ancient songs with awe.  These prayers were held by an enslaved people through the horrific Exile in Babylon, then crafted, organized, and woven together into sacred meeting space to heal an entire nation and world. These are the prayers that Jesus used, lived into, unveiled, and gave to us to pray together. These are the Prayers that Bring Us HOME
