I WILL REMEMBER When the road leads me to the wilderness And all the world gives is pain and bitterness I will remember that though I do not see You're going all the way with me When the love I give falls only on cold hearts And what I get back is mine in broken parts I will remember that though I do not see You're bearing all of it with me I will remember that You are with me I will fix my eyes on You Though there's a journey Though there's a fight All is reached and won Right here and right now with You When my story is just me lost in the desert The desert's where You'll send rivers rushing in I will remember like many times before You make a way You are with me I will remember that You are with me I will fix my eyes on You Though there's a journey Though there's a fight All is reached and won Right here and right now with You (guitar solo) I will remember that You are with me I will fix my eyes on You Though there's a journey Though there's a fight All is reached and won Right here and right now with You All is reached and won Right here and right now with You

about

Thiago de Melo's Profession of Faith is his first Catholic-Christian music album. The album features all original songs written, sung and produced by Thiago. Maestro David Phillips orchestrated all tracks. Soprano singer Jami Haren is featured on the duet "The Holy Face of Jesus". Choral singers from St. Mary's Catholic Church in Eugene, OR contributed background vocals to "Veni Sancte Spiritus" and "May the Love of God Flow Through Us".

A mix of classical instrumentation with contemporary vocals, "Profession of Faith" departs from the more common rock/pop band format of praise and worship music dominating the charts today (only 2 tracks include drums).

Among the highlights are opening track "Shepherd", a Psalm 23-inspired song; "Holy", which is lyrically reminiscent of Catholic Liturgy; and the sweet Marian track "My Mother", also sung in Portuguese as "Minha Mãe".
