From Jonathan:

We all struggle with sin. Shame is a liar. Secrecy is a prison. Don’t allow the presumed impossibility of escape to justify losing hope and faith in Jesus. If your family or friends can care for you through it, so much more will God—the literal the embodiment of Love—care for you through it.

I failed to realize all of this for a long time. Do not make my mistakes: get people involved, and keep pursuing freedom and a deeper relationship with Jesus. Never Give up.

ONE GLANCE LYRICS:

ONE GLANCE)

ONE GLANCE AT BEAUTIFUL

(ONE DANCE)

WASN’T SUPPOSED TO LAST THIS LONG

THE EYE OF THE MIND IS BLIND TO THE HEART

WHEN THE LIGHT OF THE EYES FADES AWAY INTO DARK

I WOULD OPEN MY EYE IF I KNEW WHERE TO START

IGNORING I KNOW THAT PLACE IS MY HEART

[PRE-CHORUS]

IT’S TOO LATE NOW

I’M TOO FAR GONE

PLEASE SHOW ME HOW

TO ESCAPE THIS LIVING DEATH

[CHORUS]

ALL MY LOVED ONES HAVE LEFT

NOW IT’S ONLY ME AND YOU

AND ALL OF MY REGRET

WITH WHAT YOU FAILED TO LIVE UP TO

IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE GLANCE

NOW YOU REFUSE TO LET ME GO

I WISH I RAN WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE

BUT I LOOKED ‘CAUSE YOU TOLD ME SO

ONE GLANCE IS ALL IT TOOK

CONGRATULATIONS, I JUST BIT YOUR HOOK

[VERSE 2]

(ONE GLANCE)

ONE GLANCE AT WONDERFUL

(ENHANCE)

THE GUILT AS WE GO ALONG

LIFE WITHIN ME DIED A LONG TIME AGO

REVIVED FOR A MOMENT AGAIN TO LET GO

HARDER TO CARRY NOW THAT I KNOW

HARVEST IS PLENTY IF YOU WORK HARD TO SOW

[PRE-CHORUS]

NO WILL TO MOVE ON

I’M TOO PRONE TO FALL

PLEASE ANSWER MY CALL

PULL ME OUT OF THIS LIVING DEATH

[CHORUS 2]

ALL MY LOVED ONES HAVE LEFT

NOW IT’S ONLY ME AND YOU

AND ALL OF MY REGRET

WITH WHAT YOU FAILED TO LIVE UP TO

IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE GLANCE

NOW YOU REFUSE TO LET ME GO

I WISH I RAN WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE

BUT I LOOKED ‘CAUSE YOU TOLD ME SO

ONE GLANCE IS ALL IT TOOK

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU STILL HAVE ME ON YOUR HOOK

[BRIDGE]

ONE MORE GLANCE

MAYBE MY WOUNDS WILL STILL HEAL IN TIME

ONE MORE GLANCE

TO LOOK I LEAVE ALL THAT I LOVE BEHIND

ONE MORE GLANCE…

[RAP BAR INTERLUDE]

YOU CAN’T GO TO YOUR MOTHER, SHE WOULDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

YOU CAN’T TRUST YOUR FATHER ‘CAUSE I’VE GOT HIM TOO

IF YOU CONFIDE IN YOUR FRIENDS, REGRET AND CONFESSION WILL NEVER END

YOU CAN’T CRY OUT TO YOUR GOD BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU LOVE ME MORE THAN HIM!

YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO TAKE MY HAND AGAIN

SO TAKE IT, ONE MORE TIME

I PROMISE TO TAKE YOU IN

[SCREAM]

BUT I’LL LEAVE YOU TO DIE!

…ONE MORE GLANCE AT LIVING-DEATH

[CHORUS 3]

ALL MY LOVED ONES HAVE LEFT

IT’S NEVER WORTH LOSING THEM FOR YOU

I’M STILL LIVING MY REGRET

AND WHAT YOU FAILED TO LIVE UP TO

IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE GLANCE

NOW YOU REFUSE TO LET ME GO

I WISH I RAN, I HAD THE CHANCE

BUT I CHOSE TO LOOK, I WANTED SO

ONE GLANCE IS ALL IT TOOK

SOME DAY

I’LL FINALLY ESCAPE YOUR HOOK
