Higher than the yonder mountain and deeper than the sea
From the breadth of the east unto the west
Is the love that started with a seed
Stronger than the wildest horses and the rising tide
The chords of death hung so heavy round our necks
Will be left at the great divide
Flood waters rise, but it wont wash away
Love never dies, it will hold on more fierce than graves
Farther than the pale moon rises upon the open plains
Past the time of the longest blood line
There shines an immortal flame
Somewhere in between forever and this passing day
There’s a place moth and rust cannot lay waste
This is grace, the face of love
Flood waters rise, but it wont wash away
Love never dies, it will hold on more fierce than grave

There is something haunting about the family having zero clue about WW2 in its entirety. I remember learning about them and wondering and I still wonder now how many are still in the wilderness, driven there by atrocities or not. Many find being alone to be fear inducing. But they left and isolated out of fear to begin with. This music is just the tip of the iceberg for how haunting and emotional the situation is. It does its job as well as possible, though. Amazing. jacensolodjo
