about

I wrote this song to my mom before she had a major surgery. She was pretty nervous and 3 days before the operation I had the idea to write and record a song to encourage her. The first version was pretty rough. The second version was better. This is the third version, and the first version available for sale.

lyrics

I know a man
who can ease
all your fear

He's speaking now
if you have
ears to hear

Don't let your mind
drag you down
into dread

Cause you're in his hand
and his heart
holds you dear

You've done your best
get to rest
and now I know you're gonna pass this test
I know the worst is just the waitin
but just recall your situation

You gotta have faith
You gotta have love
you gotta have courage commin from above
you gotta have hope to light the fire
and just trust me, He'll lift you higher!

I know a king
who has been
in your place

who's cup seemed too great
such a task
for him to face

But He gave it all
so that you
might see life

So leave all behind
that distracts
from His grace

You've done your best
get to rest
and now I know you're gonna pass this test
I know the worst is just the waitin
but just recall your situation

You gotta have faith
You gotta have love
you gotta have courage commin from above
this adventure's just beginning
so go with Christ and you'll be winning

I know your fear
fights for control
but He's always near
there to console

You've done your best
get to rest
and now I know you're gonna pass this test
I know the worst is just the waitin
but just recall your situation

You gotta have faith
You gotta have love
you gotta have courage commin from above
you gotta have hope to light the fire
and just trust me, He'll lift you higher!
