Take 3, commentary, takes 1 & 2. Ad. "I wanna be a fighter--" outtake that I like, 2 more final stanza outtakes (slower cadence, softer inflection because it's now 4am 馃ゲ and I decided I just wanna get this out otherwise I'll get too busy again and just won't, but don't wanna wake anyone with a more performative cadence, and that's ok. I think I'm a way it's more authentic like this). This poem came out of a prayer, and it sort of still is a prayer in that sense. Hope this can inspire others to write their own poem-prayers and think about how prayer can look different! Please lmk what you think via ig @her.art.of.worship! Love & Light, Hannah

Three readings of the same poem. Let me know which was your favorite @her.art.of.worship (Instagram)! And see if you can guess which was the order of recording 馃槄 (take 1, 2, 3). Inspired by and dedicated to Taylor Kirby Lit. Thank you for helping me grow in vulnerability, for being a such a Christ-like sister & friend in a short time. You're going to be the most wonderful mother 鉂わ笍 (ps - when Caroline is older you can tell her how this was written and later recorded in her very own room! 馃槀 Honored to have been the first to inhabit this space in your home. This room will always hold a special place in my heart--I'm glad we'll be able to share that 馃グ

A bit more polished cover of Desert song, the backstory/interview from the writer of the song, Jill McCloghry, and some personal commentary on worshipping in the midst of suffering/wrestling.
Desert song (Hillsong) & partial recording of Worn (Tenth avenue north), a reading of Psalm 34, contextualization of the songs the night they were recorded, commentary & reflection.
An elaboration on the original poem (I couldn't help myself), plus some casual, unscripted commentary. This is a mini-part 2/3 of the "in the name of Love" poem. Stuck around 'til the very end for a demo of my latest song, "day by day/rays of grace/undecided title." - 鉂わ笍, @her.art.of.worship / Hannah Hsu

The poet's reading of the final draft, a short sing-over of the famous song with the same title (not inspired by this song but inevitably connected), and my reading of my first draft of the poem as well. Read along with my work at @her.art.of.worship on instagram, if you'd like to see me singing more seriously check out my YouTube and other channels, all in the linktree in my insta bio. Grace and peace rest on you, love and light go before you. 鉂わ笍 - Hannah
