See, I told you I'd eventually get around to this...
Not sure when I wrote this song, but it was between 1989 and 1992.
So many times we needlessly struggle alone when our Heavenly Father is there to not only help us along, but to carry us when we can't carry on. All we have to do is give our worries and suffering to him.
This was the first and only song that I had music written for at one time. Unfortunetly, the friend that wrote it write passed away and the music became lost. Elisabeth has tried to recreate it, but she couldn't do it to my satisfaction. Don't get me wrong. Elisabeth is a wonderful musician and well trained in the arts of music technique. She did compose something, but I didn't like it. She just couldn't reproduce what I heard in my head.
