ALBUM: Amazing Faith 'n' Freedom

Song Story: THE MUSIC:
With God's guidance, "my" song NEVER ALONE was one of the first dozen song giftings from Him back in 2008. The words had been filling my thoughts four years later as I drove 14 hours -- alone -- to my daughter's home. I spent over a week with her, and wrote a lot of music on my guitar sitting on her patio overlooking a distant mountain beyond the fields....
And one day while I was "testing out" a new Christmas song on her piano, I just suddenly started playing what became the new introduction to NEVER ALONE, written from the viewpoint of so many of the high school and college age youth that I dearly loved teaching. And, I'll admit, from some personal memories....
AND HERE is why Verse 5's scripture reference "Matthew 28, last verse" is spoken instead of sung:
We REPEATEDLY repeatedly REPEATEDLY tried my singing it. The music notes were EXACTLY the same as they were for the earlier verse. But I absolutely could not get a good sound tone when I sang these words. Suddenly in between takes I declared -- "I'm going to try something different." And then I spoke the words-- and the first take was perfect, full of feeling.I personally am convinced that God orchestrated my "failure" so that I could be sure that YOU know exactly where to find Jesus's promise that you are NEVER alone:
So you don't have to remember a verse number but can remember my inability to sing:
"Matthew 28, last verse".
Song Story: THE LYRICS:As one of my 2011 songs, “Hope Through Dark Rain”, reminds:
Feelings can lie. God can't.
That's just plain Logic + Titus 1:2 + fact that “liars” =
the last condemned sinners listed in Revelation (22:15). And it's the first sin recorded: When Satan lied to Eve saying that GOD lied.
LYRICS
1
I thought she really liked me.
I thought they respected me.
I thought I really fit in........... and then .............
2
I don't know what to do.
I liked them ------ What do I choose?
Should I do what they will like...... or do what's right?
3
I thought we could be friends. I'm so LONELY. When WILL this end?
God's, I've reached my dead end. I
CAN'T STAND ONE MORE THING.
BRIDGE (soft and sweet)
Then I heard in my head Words of peace and comfort.
Then I heard in my head Words of peace and comfort.
A LULLABY to YOU from LORD GOD:
4
You are never alone. You are never “just one.”
God is always with you --- Father, Spirit, Son.
Sometimes you may tiredly wonder if God's even there. You
SEE no god, you HEAR no voice,
you FEEL no presence there.
Just cry out,
“Help me. I'm so lonely. Do I pray to just AIR?”5
Jesus promised firmly, “Lo, I'm with you always,
to the end of the earth.” [SPOKEN] Matthew 28: last verse.
Even when you let you wonder if God's really there,
just believe God Who promises, Lo, I am always here.”
Just trust God when He says He loves you
and that He really cares.
6
Sometimes I feel lonely. But my feelings can lie.
Titus 1: in verse 2: “God Can NEVER lie.”
Even when your feelings lie and ask if God is there,
you choose to trust Almighty God. He SHALL
hear humble prayers. Hebrews 13: 5.....
God will NEVER forsake you.....
END [new words based upon Isaac Watt's and William Croft's
“O God, Our Help in Ages Past” (Public Domain, CCLI #4315]
7
Before the hills in order stood, or
Earth received her frame,
From everlasting, God WAS God, and
knew and loved your name.
8
When you feel lonely, sad, or scared, just
pray, for God loves you.
His James 4:8 Word promises -------
when you call, He's with you.
YOU ARE NEVER ALONE .....
NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL.
God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
“Lo, I am with you always, [even] to the end of the age. ” -- JESUS, in Matthew 28:20
“Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have. For
God has said, 'I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.' “
-- Jesus quoted in Hebrews 13:5 Living Bible
