Found a love to help me see
That nothing's ever wasted
And no one's too far gone
From rock bottom of the sea
To the sky beyond a ceiling
After all I've tasted
I never wanna go back
I never wanna know that life before love
I'm living in the moment
I'm running after all that's holy and pure
In the shadow of your wings
I find all my sanity
I can trust your cover
I am safe with you
Though I'm promised suffering
I know you're right here with me
Keeping me together
Holding all my dreams
I never wanna go back
I never wanna know that life before love
I'm living in the moment
I'm running after all that's holy and pure
I never wanna go back
I never wanna know that life before love
I'm living in the moment
I'm running after all that's holy and pure
Every fall you break for me
Every hit you take for me
Every tear you catch for me
There's nobody like you
I never wanna go back (I never wanna go back)
I never wanna know that life before love (I never wanna know that life before love)
I'm living in the moment
I'm running after all that's holy and pure
I never wanna go back
I never wanna know that life before love
I'm living in the moment
I'm running after all that's holy and pure

One of the most underrated singers of our time!!!

Most Of the artists I follow should make it. Mostly Indies. Great variety. Madison is special. Reminds me a bit of Sinead Harnett.

I disagree. Most that have heard her think she is a phenomenal talent. She's just relatively unknown by most and probably wants to keep it that way ie doesn't want to become this huge superstar that is just a product.

Just a shout-out to Madison Ryann Ward. God used you in ways you would have never imagined. I was in a toxic relationship and did a cover of your song Mirror because my ex liked the song but I fell in love with your voice then. We broke up and God started calling me to him and lo and behold when I surrendered my life to Jesus and your song Familiar kept me as I started my journey. Fast forward a bit over a year after being refined and all the things that the Lord needed to break off of me and renew my mind with the truth of who He is and His love. This song is a consolation to me and makes me want to keep running. Child of God, Daughter of the most High do not stop. He is using you and you are an inspiration. Hopefully one day we get to sing together. Lots of love from South Africa!

This song gives me so much of Floetry and Jill Scott vibe. Itβs like Neosoul But itβs even better cuz itβs Christian and with a biblical message β€οΈ

WOW! What an incredibly naturally good voice. Everybody sounds the same today, trying to manipulate their voice without pronouncing words, but not this woman. This is a one in a million talent to ACTUALLY sound that naturally good without forcing it.

My LORD & My GOD... This is such a preciously vulnerable song. I appreciate the humble courage it took to release this into the world of today. My prayer is that this song be a tool of thorough healing and guidance in the almighty hand of GOD, Amen. GOD bless you Madison. #VIRTUEandVALOR #HUMILITYandHONOR #Proverbs31
