This is a song written in the privacy of my bedroom one lonely Saturday afternoon many years ago.   I wasn’t pouring over any scripture or having any deep thoughts.  I just poured out my heart and said to the Lord what I needed to say in that moment.   I remember I wrote it quickly and easily – maybe because I didn’t really imagine anyone else in the world hearing it!   In fact, though I remember playing it for my roommate at the time, I don’t think I ever played it for anyone else.  Honestly, it just sat on the shelf for years.  I didn’t think it was worshipful enough to sing at church - and maybe I liked the idea of it just being a song for me alone to sing to God.  But when we were choosing songs for this album and were almost finished with our list but still searching for a couple more, the Lord brought this to mind.  I hadn’t thought of it in ages, and only had horrible recordings of it to reference.   I thought I’d submit it, though I never thought it would be chosen.   

As I started to share it with others this year, it seems they really relate with it and love the singable melody.  With a few minor lyric updates and a few fresh chords added by Nathan Nockels – this is now one of my favorites songs on the project.  I’m still so humbled how the Lord used my lonely day and birthed a song that I hope and pray can be a blessing to many.
