THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
We’ve all had those moments where we really don’t know how we feel. This song was born from such a moment.
I began writing thinking I don’t really know how I feel, what I want to say or what I’m doing … but I know one thing, I need you God.
I hurried to the closest instrument (probably a piano), and began to sing whatever came into my heart. In this moment it was more of a heart’s cry to the Lord - “Oh how I love you Jesus, take me and draw me nearer to You. Take me deeper in your presence.”
As I sang it over and over again, filling the room with sound, my heart leapt with the sense that this song expressed exactly what I wanted.
Next time you don’t know how you feel, why not try and write a song to God. It may surprise you what your heart is trying to say to your head, and what beautiful lyrics can appear from your honest heart’s cry.
