If I Didn't Know God is Good by Ezra Vancil

If I didn’t know God is good
If I didn’t have that understood,
If I didn’t know God was good
I’d just lay down in my box of wood

If I didn’t know there is something more
than this life everyones dying for
I would be swimming of the deepest shore

All these lines in my face
something seems so out of place
like we were meant for something better
but i know that’s just the way of faith
the innocent cries
and all the incidental lives
if I didn’t know better
Then i’d wonder why we even try

If I didn’t know the shape I’m in
If I didn’t know this heart of sin
If I didn’t know the shape i’m in
I would sink down into my shallow skin

All these lines in my face
something seems so out of place
like we were meant for something better
but i know that’s just the way of faith
the innocent cries
and all the incidental lives
if I didn’t know better
Then i’d wonder why we even try

Easy On My Mind

It's a great Americana mood album. I played a show and camped with this duo at Kerrville Folk Festival and they are also great people with a powerful live presence. ezra vancil

Ran into this on the ISC awards.. great feeling to the sonics of this recording. The sonics of it are what I come back to listen to.. it doesn't hurt that the songs are also fantastic trips. ezra vancil
