Update: All proceeds of "Surprise" will go to support Ratanak International, a charity fighting against Human Trafficking. (ratanak.org)

I'm gaining ground, forget the past
Scaled the mountain tops, my two left feet

You are my surprise

I'm giving in, no turning back
Sailed the crashing waves, my sinking ship

You are my surprise

Don't let it go to waste
As the sun stands still
Don't let it go to waste
As it crumbles on you

lyrics

Bombarded by unforeseen events in our lives, we are constantly faced with insurmountable doubt. However, through our daily struggles, God always finds a way to surprise us. The song "Surprise" was birthed out of that spirit and serves as an anthem to the hopeless.

When the world crumbles around us, He always comes through in unique and various ways. As we notice the small details, we slowly scale the mountaintops and the crashing waves in our paths. Just as Joshua asked the sun to stand still in his battle, " So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day." (Joshua 10:13), we KNOW that He is capable of anything that we are up against.

about

manafolk Vancouver, British Columbia

We are manafolk, a kingdom collective who live in the headlong troughs of Vancouver's four season rain. We hope to bring the likeness of God's creativity through various forms of art. We love sitting in the stoop with a bubble tea in hand, we love sharing pineapple buns, and we want to tell stories aloud. As long as we can laugh, cry, and sing together; we can turn the night inside out. ... more
