She has toured throughout the U.S from California to Florida showing no signs of stopping.
With two full-length albums under her belt and a third album in the works Eowyn continues to amaze her listeners with honest lyrics and hard hitting vocals.

Despite any success or setbacks Eowyn has encountered, this independent artist continues to push toward her ultimate goal of reaching both the lost and the saved.

Eowyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fire all around but I feel no pain
Entrapped within its flames I see Him there
He reaches out His hand and draws me near
(Chorus:)
In the fiery trials of life,
Father hold me Jesus hold me
but I'm still broken down
Jesus hold me
They know not what they see
They hate what they don't know
They bow before their fears;
their fears become their stones
But I am standing here, before your face,
wrap around me now, I need your strength
Jesus I, I am broken, broken down,
I am crying for your help while I'm in this trial
The fires flames cannot touch me for I know,
know you'll save me, when I cry, cry to you Lord hold me.
