Song Lyrics

Matt McCrady started this tune four years ago and was blocked on finishing it.....He had most of the first verse and the great chorus!   I added a couple of verses, altered his melody slightly in a few places & recorded the guitar & vocal on July 4, 2005.   Will Lopes, the international inspirational singer, composer and arranger from Brazil added a beautiful piano part on July 8 at Rieman Music using a Yamaha P250 keyboard.
