To him who is able to keep you from falling

About Me

jude. is a group of individuals seeking to do the impossible - describe the entirely indescribable and, in our finiteness, touch The Infinite. We take our humble, limited, flawed, and not nearly large enough human language, couple it with the melodies, sounds, cries, and heart songs that are bursting from our chests - our ransomed, redeemed, and freed souls. So much more than a song, so beyond our words.
Where our sound and silence meet
