Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:

Written on 1 Sept 2013.  On the World Wide Web on 6 Sept,
after being worked in all 3 studios.
Including Johnny K's "weeping guitar" and Claxton's dramatic drums.

This is God's song, not my 'talent'.  HISTORY:  On my second worship time at Little Zion church, the pastor was away but God's Holy Spirit assuredly led the speaker... and those worship leaders who did not KNOW what the message would be, but kept calling on the congregation to worship with the words "If it were not for the LORD."
             God had brought me through a terrible,  painful church period years earlier with the repeated assurance of Psalm 124.  So I knew exactly where these comforting promises were in God's Word.  And as we learned more from the speaker, I quickly sketched out these lyrics.  Then I drove to another church where I'm the paid musician for a later service.  I got there 20 minutes before the choir director and had completed this music by then.

This is... yet again... God's Song.  Dedicated to our Holy Spirit Song Writer,
1 September 2013

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:

Psalm 124, New King James Version:
A Song of Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say--
"If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;  Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul."
Blessed [be] the LORD, Who has not given us [as] prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;  The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
