A piece enveloped in deep prayer and silence.

It’s a track included on “Wild Heart” by Urban Rescue, a Christian music group from Los Angeles, USA.

When you look up at the night sky, when you face hardship, you can hear God calling from the depths of your heart.

When you answer that voice, your soul is filled with joy, and you can overcome any trial.

Such a message of deep prayer is embedded in this song.

Why not listen to it quietly? You will surely feel the great presence of the “Father” who watches over you.
