“Burn” – Inspired by Saeed Abedini

by

I originally intended this song to be about Moses, from the perspective of God’s love for him. The Angel of the Lord spoke to Moses at the burning bush, choosing him – imperfections and all – for what had to be a lonely mission.

Then I started thinking about Saeed Abedini, imprisoned in Iran. The song really became about him. Again, from the perspective of a Father who doesn’t run from pain. Instead, he runs toward it.

He knows suffering, and does not abandon us. His love endures.
