Yaaqova Wow, JO really is a modern day psalmist-all of his songs are just beautiful love songs unto the Lord. I feel the heart of David in him, praise YHWH! I also really enjoy the R&B feel to this album "This Love" reminds me of a middle schoolers first crush (which should be Jesus of course :) "No One like You" with JMP is obvi a winning collab! "Always Will Be" just gets me so happy and lifts me out of weariness- Maranatha! Thank you JO, your songs glorify God in such a pure way and I love it so. Favorite track: Living Water.

Newfangled I decided to browse the "Christian" tag and this album was the first suggestion. The first track I heard - "One Day" - hooked me. I don't know that I've ever heard Christian music quite like this, and I really dug it. I listened to the whole album. Then I listened to it again. Then the next day I listened to it again. And again. It's fantastic music to work to, chill to, whatever. The lyrics are inspiring. The grooves are smooth. Brilliant album from start to finish. Favorite track: One Day.

Da Dude II Upbeat, expressive, and hopeful. The focus is on God and on His promises. Very encouraging. Favorite track: Living Water.

Rush Leowulf Man, I owe this brother my "most desirable worship music" award. I'd avoided having worship music on my phone and PC for years since most of what I'd heard wasn't up my aural alley, but Jonathan's music.. That "Garden"... "No One Like You.." Maaan, I'll be singing His praises, for sure! ;D Favorite track: Garden.

Low 02:17
I keep turning off my phone Then I turn it on again I just want to stay at home Maybe I should see my friends Should’ve called you, should’ve known Good to see you, how you been? Good to see you, how you been? And nothing feels like it used to There’s nothing on TV Got 20 messages I don’t have the energy to read I just want to see your face And not a picture on a screen Not a picture on a screen Not a picture on a screen I’ve been feeling low Could you lift me up Could you lift me up I’ve been feeling low Could you lift me up Could you lift me up I just want to hit pause for a second I just want to slow down for a minute It’s all changing Faster than I can take I’m hit by another wave Before I can even catch my breath And I try I try to remember the words that you’ve spoken In the night I whisper a prayer underneath my breath I’ve been feeling low Could you lift me up Could you lift me up I’ve been feeling low Could you lift me up Could you lift me up ‘Cause though there is pain in the setting sun I know there’ll be joy when the morning comes But I’ve been feeling low Could you lift me up

Living Water 04:00
My soul won’t rest Til I find rest in You My love, my love I’ve tried my best But no matter what I do It’s not enough, not enough ‘Cause even the sparrow finds A place to call home And I found mine in You And all of life’s pleasures And all earthly treasures Are nothing compared to you Whatever I’m feeling inside There’s one thing I know in my life Lord I need Your living water My heart was feeling so dry And if I’m gonna survive Then Lord I need Your living water My restless soul It searches far and wide And thirsts again, and again But I’ve come to find A fountain that won’t run dry It never ends, never ends So, come all you weary You tired and thirsty And run to the springs of life All those without money Come, enter in freely And find your soul’s delight Whatever I’m feeling inside There’s one thing I know in my life Lord I need Your living water My heart was feeling so dry And if I’m gonna survive Then Lord I need Your living water Living water, living water, living water Whatever I’m feeling inside There’s one thing I know in my life Lord I need Your living water I come to the fountain of life Where I know I’ll be satisfied Cause Lord I need Your living water

Lately I’ve been dreaming Of a city With crystal rivers and a sun that always shines Oh, lately I’ve been feeling Like a pilgrim Wandering and never fully satisfied Searching for a beauty found beyond this life Oh, how long? Oh, how long? Lately I’ve been dreaming Of a garden Of a tree of life with healing in its leaves Oh, lately I’ve heard rumours Of a future When we’ll enter in to beauty that we see Like a river running wild and running free But oh, how long? Oh, how long? Oh, how long til we’re home? Somewhere, beyond these clouds I have no doubt There is a strong and wonderful sound Surrounding your throne One beautiful song I’m going to sing it when I’m home
11.
I know how you feel right now Like all the world is broken Feels like everything’s upside down It’s hard to keep on hoping It’s an all too familiar ache We need a restoration Let it come Just hold tight, hold tight It’s gonna take some time Just don’t lose heart Hold tight, hold tight It’ll be made right Just don’t lose heart Don’t lose heart I’m feeling the weight of the world today Feels like the world is broken I don’t really know what to say That hasn’t already been spoken I still feel the familiar ache We need a restoration Let it come Mmmm Hold tight, hold tight It’s gonna take some time Just don’t lose heart Hold tight, hold tight It’ll be made right Just don’t lose heart Just don’t lose heart Oh don’t lose heart Don’t lose heart when the Earth gives way The oceans roar, and the mountains shake Hold on, hold on Don’t lose heart when the nations rage It won’t be long til we see His face Hold on, just hold on
12.
Standing before You With multitudes around Your throne Singing “Holy” And all of a sudden I realise that this is home Here in Your glory One bride, one song One king to come This race we run ’Til we see You One bride, one song One king to come This race we run ’Til we see You Lord You alone are worthy of unending praises From every tribe, and every tongue, and every nation You alone, You are worthy Always were, always will be Your name alone has power to save the lost and broken No force of hell can stop the things that you have spoken You alone, You are worthy Always were, always will be Always will be (Oh you always will be) Always will be (Forever and ever and ever and ever) Always will be (Yeah you always will be) Always will be (Oh there’s gonna be) One bride, one song One king to come This race we run ’Til we see You One bride, one song One king to come This race we run ’Til we see You Lord You alone are worthy of unending praises From every tribe, and every tongue, and every nation You alone, You are worthy Always were, always will be Your name alone has power to save the lost and broken No force of hell can stop the things that you have spoken You alone, You are worthy Always were, always will be Always will be (Yeah you always will be) Always will be (Forever and ever and ever and ever) Always will be (Yeah you always will be) Always will be (Forever and always)

about

Future Forever is the debut album from Jonathan Ogden, after several EPs, singles and a beat tape, this album features 12 songs of worship, devotion and honest expression of the daily walk of faith. This album is a forward-looking album: songs that look ahead to the Lord's return, the coming resurrection, and the restoration of all things. But also an album anchored in the present: recognising how the coming promise brings hope today, as well as the ache of the waiting period and living in a world still yet-to-be fully restored. Despite being a solo project, this is a collaborative album with vocal features from John Mark Pantana, Darla Baltazar, Molly Parden and Taylor Armstrong, as well as many guest producers helping out on the songs: Max Gaver (OLY), Sam Ock, Sammie Lee, David Cho (Beloved), David Michon, Jimmy James and Tim Gosden doing the final mastering.
