According to Stephen’s website, "Grave Clothes" is a declaration and powerful anthem, calling us to take off what is dead and to put on the fullness of life. His testimony is one of being radically restored from meth addict to worship leader, after encountering the One who called him from the tomb, removing his grave clothes, and putting on the resurrection. Listen to his testimony.
Best Song on the Record:
The best song on the record is “Falling In Place.” The chorus states: "Nothing’s falling apart/It’s falling in place/Nothing’s falling apart/It’s falling in place/I won’t forget who you are/I will not be afraid/Nothing’s falling apart/It’s falling in place." This track is showing us to trust in God's plan, because even though life might be falling apart, it isn’t. God is putting your life in the right place. With that being said, we need to trust in his plan for us.
