Lewis' brother in law, a truck driver, was hauling a load down the freeway when a despondent person in a car decided to commit suicide-by-truck and drove her car from the shoulder directly into the path of his oncoming semi. He swerved to avoid hitting her and instead hit the center guard rail spilling fuel which started a fire in his rig. He was severely burned, but the suicide perp escaped unharmed.

The life we live upon this earth
Is filled with sudden spins
We're hurt by undeserving losses
And cheered for lucky wins
We move so fast and want to much
And think we have control
But it's really just illusion
And it melts like summer snow

Because it's Your world, Father
You can calm the waves and wind
And calm our trembling spirits
When the winds of change blow in
Yes, it's Your world, Father
And we're thankful that it is
Please help us to remember
When we're faced with sudden spins

How can this solid life be fragile
And what was here be gone
How can everything we hold so close
Be real, but not for long
Why do we believe the way things are
Is the way they'll always be
Why do we only look through our own eyes
When it's Your eyes that can see

Of all the things I've wondered, Lord
One answer now I know:
The world is turning at Your will
And it ever shall be so
