I have felt compelled to write a Christian based song for years. This was hard for me because I don’t know HOW to write a Christian song. One August morning, I woke up at 2am with a definitive Divine order to write a song for him. I have never felt a stronger request to do anything in my life. I got up and grabbed my guitar without a clue as to how I could put into words a message from God through my music. As a child I always struggled with how an undeniable higher power could be so great if the greatness described by everyone included my Moms life being taken from her at 32 years old leaving behind a loving husband, my 12 year old sister, 10 year old brother and 6 year old me motherless. As an adult I understand even less but have somehow accepted that her death must have a greater purpose than I am able to understand. I never knew how to fully give myself to God until May of 2012 when my newborn son Colton had died right in front of me multiple times. That was the day I gave my life to God.. It wasn't even for me at the time, It was for Colton. It was honestly pure desperation to beg for my sons life. To my knees I fell and cried begging for another chance to live a life deserving of my son.
I decided to write a song about my struggle finding my way to God. Maybe the intent of Gods message through me was to share with others to find their way, it’s never too late... . give in…but don’t give up.
This is the most powerful song I have ever written. I hope it means something to your heart and soul.
Austin.
