Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:   
        I'd recorded a 20-second melody “in my head” about a year earlier on my van voice recorder, and happened to listen when I came across it searching for a new sound. 
        I wasn't sure exactly where this song was going after the verses, so I wrote the interlude “as I went”. My choice of high happy melody notes had to be changed so that I could return to each verse without any break, to complete the sentences of JOY at how our LORD still saves a wretch like me (& you) from the title phrase “ALL OF MY TROUBLES.”

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:   
      The lyrics were based on the melody- it just “seemed to say” this praise prayer.  
FOUR DAYS after I wrote this song, an 80-foot tree fell during a heavy snowstorm.
It hit BOTH of my vans... Not new but serviceable. Our 15 year old car wasn't hit!
Good timing of reassurance from the LORD!
Dedicated -- with a Smile -- to our Protector LORD God, 9 February  2014

All of my troubles,  all of my wants,

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
Read JAMES 1:  2-5.
 “MY BRETHREN, COUNT IT ALL JOY WHEN YOU FALL INTO VARIOUS TRIALS
3  knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
  But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
5   If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

 …  knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.”
