Jason began to find a new rhythm in the oldest songs he knew.
He returned to the hymns that carried the faint scent of wooden pews, dimly lit sanctuaries, and the steady voices of saints who sang their faith long before he understood his own.
Each night he played recordings of these familiar melodies and allowed them to fill the room without interruption.
Songs like It Is Well with My Soul and Blessed Assurance ushered him into the presence of God with a tenderness that modern life rarely made space for.
The more he listened, the more he felt the tightness in his chest begin to loosen.
There were evenings when he knelt beside his bed with the old hymnal open before him.
His hands trembled as he turned the fragile pages.
Sometimes he forced himself to sing until his voice cracked under the weight of emotion.
Other times he simply listened, letting the tears fall without shame.
Each moment created room for the Spirit of God to draw near.
It was during one of those quiet nights that Jason sensed the unmistakable voice of God settling in his heart.
The clarity of it startled him.
Music would be the doorway to his healing.
Jesus had been present through every unspoken moment.
