Meaning & Inspiration

My hands aren’t as steady as they used to be. Sometimes, when the evening chill settles in my joints, I find myself flipping through the worn pages of my old hymnals—the ones with the spine taped up and the corners soft from decades of use. They’re filled with grand, heavy words about judgment and glory. But then I listen to Limoblaze and Ada Ehi, and there’s a lightness here, a rhythm that feels less like a cathedral and more like a front porch on a humid summer evening.

There is a line in their song, “I never know what I won’t do for You,” that stopped me mid-sip of coffee this morning.

When I was thirty, I had grand, rigid ideas about what I would do for God. I had a list of sacrifices, a blueprint of service, and a certainty that was as sharp as a razor. But forty years of walking through the fire changes a man. You lose things. You lose people. You lose your own capacity to keep all your promises. Now, when I hear those words—I never know what I won’t do for You—I don’t hear a boast. I hear a confession of dependence. It sounds like someone who has realized their own strength is a vapor.

It reminds me of the disciples at the end of their rope, or Peter standing by the fire, realizing his own heart was far more fragile than he’d claimed. It’s an admission that God’s love is the only thing keeping the boat afloat when the waves start hitting the hull.

Then there’s that recurring phrase, “Odara,” meaning it is good. It’s simple. When the lights go out and the house is quiet, and the world feels loud and confusing, the complexity of theology doesn’t always offer a bed to rest on. Sometimes, you just need to affirm the goodness of the One who holds the keys.

Psalm 34:8 says to taste and see that the Lord is good. It isn’t an intellectual exercise. It’s sensory. Limoblaze and Ada aren’t asking us to debate the finer points of grace; they are asking us to inhabit it.

I’ll admit, the rhythm is a bit fast for my old heart. It’s not the slow, melancholic organ music I spent my youth leaning on. I sometimes worry if this energy is just the exuberance of youth, a kind of noise that fades when the sorrow hits. But then I think of the joy—real, gritty, irrepressible joy—that survives the furnace. If you haven’t lost your ability to dance even when your knees ache, perhaps you haven’t really understood what it means to be a child of God.

I don’t know if this song is meant to hold up in the middle of a dark night of the soul. Maybe it’s not. But maybe we don’t need every song to be a dirge. Maybe we need to be reminded, even in our twilight, that His love is “more than okay.” It’s enough. That has to be enough.
