In a rare moment, I brought my guitar into the public gathering last night (9/12/2021).
The evening gathering was focused on some reflection from that providential September day in 2001 when the nation was asking questions and looking to God for an answer, at least for a few days.
I was a much younger pastor then.
I was praying, like many. within a few weeks, I was sitting in the old auditorium with the window blinds open, reflecting on how fast we tend to forget God and just go about our self-driven lives. I played my guitar much more frequently in those days and just began floating out a personal reflection of my own heart. Within a few hours I hammered out this song. I share it here, not as a claim to “God told me to write this”, I share it like a journal entry of my own reflection.
Oh, how I long to live out my faith with the strength and courage of God.
