Story about the Song:
Braided Light’s debut EP, Out of the Darkness (2021), is a collection of stepping-stones through the difficult journey.
Leaning on acoustic sources and sole engineering, Jess uses an honest, organic approach to convey her messages. The EP
opens to finding where listeners are right now in their lives – most likely Tryin’. It travels through the process, and
closes with determined perseverance – ready to run Out of the Darkness. Now is the time for discernment, and
self-reflection; for accompaniment whilst traveling through the darkness, in search of the Light.
Song Lyrics:
Down, again, cuts and bruises Hard, I guess, I had it comin’ to me… --- Lost, again, hidin’ back behind these walls, that I had built out of fear, Thinkin’ that I knew How to pull through… But --- Here I am, broken pieces I lift my hands, I surrender… --- I know You have a plan And no, I don’t understand But You must know what’s best, so I let go and Trust Lord, You know what I want You know what I need You know the perfect balance in-between All I gotta do is Trust… --- When will I push aside these Doubts inside, and give it all to You? (The good and the bad) War, again, a battlefield inside my head, known’ what I should do But I don’t always want to Lord, help me give it all to You… --- I lift my hurts, my numb heartache I cut the ties, and cross the line --- I know You have a plan And no, I don’t understand But You must know what’s best, so I let go and Trust Lord, You know what I want You know what I need You know the perfect balance in-between All I gotta do All I gotta do is --- Place my whole life in Your heart, and Free myself from fear, I’ll start Today, I’ll forget perfection You just want my love --- So here I’m standin’, nothin’ hidin’ Holy Spirit Come! I’m tryin’ Free me from myself, I’ll plunge in Trust I’ll trust Your Love… --- (Interlude) --- My Lord I trust that You know what I want You know what I need You know the perfect balance in-between All I gotta do is Trust… Trust --- All I gotta do to prove my love to You… Trust

“So I let go…and Trust." (Trust, Braided Light) Braided Light , (indie artist Jessica Standage) , is a Catholic inspirational singer/songwriter from SoCal.
Since starting piano at age 3, her art has blossomed into a colorful Light, showering down upon her every surrounding. Her passion for music is evident in many ways: from a quiet pencil-in-hand, to a random burst into song. She believes music to be a vessel through which the Holy Spirit works, and healing thrives through inspiration.
Jess enjoys accompanying herself on multiple instruments, including piano, banjo and guitar, and finds immense joy being self-produced in all her work. After years of classical training, earning her B.P.S. through Berklee College of Music (class of 2021), and drawing particular inspiration from Sarah Kroger and Andrew Peterson, her songwriting and production work digs below the surface, creeps into the cracks, and draws forth living light for listeners to hold onto.
There is much beauty in this world, waiting to be discovered. God’s innumerable graces are just waiting for us to ask for them – and by taking hold of them, we can weave them into something beautiful.
We can Braid Light.
