Forgiven Much, Loves Much -  No Other Desire. No Other Pursuit

This deeply heartfelt song was born on a summer morning in Australia in 2017. At the time, I was staying at a friend’s apartment in Epping, Sydney. Sunlight streamed brightly through the windows, yet inside there was a stillness so quiet it felt as though I could hear my own heartbeat.

That morning during my devotional time, I slowly reflected on this moving story from Scripture. The scene became so vivid in my heart that my journal notes gradually turned into lyrics. Sitting at my friend’s keyboard, praying as I played, the melody began to unfold, and the first sketch of the song was born.

Over the years, nearly all of my songwriting has come through moments of inspiration from the Holy Spirit. Often within just a few minutes to an hour, both the melody and lyrics arrive together — as though they are gently placed into my heart like a gift.

In 2026, the recording project was given the name No Other Desire. No Other Pursuit. The very first song chosen for recording was Forgiven Much, Loves Much.

The inspiration came from Luke 7:36–50 — the story of the woman who had been forgiven much, washing Yeshua's feet with her tears and pouring out her costly perfume in complete devotion. That moment is more than simply moving; it feels like a heavenly revelation: love is not something we strive to accumulate, but something that begins to overflow the moment we encounter forgiveness.

When a person truly experiences the grace of forgiveness, the heart is set free. Love is no longer restrained, but willingly poured out in wholehearted response to the One who first loved us.

The moment the piano introduction begins, tears start streaming down my face once again. I am reminded that all of this is a sign of His love.

May the love of the Lord Yeshua be rekindled in every listener’s heart, until there is nothing else we desire and nothing else we seek.
