2I can’t help but feel like there’s something missing
I feel the same old truth but this time its not convincing
All your promises
Are hard to swallow when
I’m hanging on by a thread
I still believe every word you said
But I can’t get it down from my heart to my head
I remember the story about someone who needed
Help with his unbelief even when he believed it
You didn’t come to heal
The ones who never feel
They’re hanging on by a thread
I still believe every word you said
But I can’t get it down to my heart to my head
I need you to make a connection
Make a connection please
Its foolishness to hide
You must know that I am
Hanging on by a thread
I still believe every word you said
But I can’t get it down, down, down
I’m hanging on by a thread
I still believe every word you said
But I can’t get it down from my heart to my head
Down from my heart to my head
Down from my heart to my head
Down from my heart to my head

Your songs are beautiful. About 10 years ago I heard I am and listened to it over and over again for a whole summer. I had often looked for it but could never find it on an album. Recently God reminded me of it and that time in my life and I decided to pray and search for it on google. I was so glad when I found it and discovered your albums. I have bought one and after looking at the lyrics of some of the others I will buy them also. Your song Hanging by a thread has really spoken to me, I need to get God's word down from my head and into my heart. This is the journey I am on at present.
Also your song about God believing in you has also really spoken to me and I feel has more to say to me.
I am a stay at home mum with 4 children under 7, 2 of whom have special needs and at the moment I feel like I'm in a big muddle with never ending things to be done but God is leading me on a journey and I'm hoping to get to know Him more personally.
God bless you and thank you for letting God use you.

As one who has been going through the "perfect storm" these past few years, I cannot tell you how much I have related to your music. In this particular song, the words, "I’m hanging on by a thread, I still believe every word you said, But I can’t get it down from my heart to my head" are so true when our days are dark and our prayers seem to come back with a "return to sender" notice. The phrase about "someone needing help with his unbelief even when he believed it," brings comfort to me and an awareness that our struggles are an ongoing test of our faithfulness in the face of weakness and thread hanging experiences~
Jill, you're sensitivity to the human experience coupled with your gift to express a certain contemporary symmetry with the human and spiritual dimensions puts your songs in a "gold standard" category of their own in my opinion. Believe me, I have some experience in the field as well as a wide range of Christian genres and artists that I enjoy.....but for good days and the "thread days" your music is playlist A in my trusty Ipod! Looking forward to getting your new release on itunes tomorrow~
Grace & Peace to you,
David
