"Consider Your Ways" is God's message through the prophet Haggai to the remnant of Israel who returned from Babylon and had begun rebuilding the temple. Then, they got distracted building their own houses, while the foundation of God's temple sat, and sat, and sat, unfinished for approximately 16 years. It's a message that very much applies to us today, as at least I (but probably most of us) tend to get distracted from God's calling and would rather follow our own agenda. I believe God is asking us to consider our ways too, and get back to work on building His kingdom. The song has a pop-rock style.

"Royalty" is a declaration of every child of God's true identity in Christ. The ideas contained in this song come from Psalm 103:4, Ephesians 1, Psalm 8, Romans 8:17. The song was released (online-only) as a single along with its Spanish version "Realeza" in the spring of 2016. "Royalty" is a pop-ballad or power-ballad.

"The Love of God" focuses on God's intense love for His children, demonstrated by the sacrifice of His own Son, Jesus. The song is a modern-day hymn with some Celtic styling and instrumentation.

"Hold Me" is the raw, cry of anguish as I felt the sting of death when my father passed away. It is an honest conversation and prayer with God in the midst of intense grief. The song has a jazz feel.

"Realeza" is a Spanish version of "Royalty." It was translated in preparation for Shannon to perform it live at VidaFest in Chimaltenango, Guatemala. The response from the crowd was amazing - men, women, and young people in the audience raised their hands and sang along... and it was the very first time they had heard the song! Shannon came home from the trip compelled by the Lord to record the song in both English and Spanish, believing that God would continue to use it to help His people walk in their identity in Christ.
