You Are Welcome (In God's Arms) - Ash Wednesday 2023

Those of us who come from religious backgrounds and identify as LGBTQ+ can find it difficult to navigate the waters of faith and authenticity, especially during religious seasons as we have just entered. I wrote this song as I was thinking about my own journey as a queer person who was raised in an ultra-religious family and church and those who have had similar experiences. I hope that this song will be a comfort to those who still deal with the hurt and exclusion they have felt.
