I wanted this song to be a symbol of overcoming extreme obstacles in one's life
Story behind the song
I started writing this song only to learn two of my family members would be diagnosed with cancer before I even got finished- It was very hard to finish but I did and dedicate it to my Dad (JG) and sister-in-law (Debbie)- God bless you both
Lyrics
God, I Know You're Here

V1
The doctors said six months maybe even one or two
The chemo didn't work, nothing else they could do
We wrapped our arms together and walked out in disbelief
Emptiness filled our hearts and our world sank into grief
V2
We drove to the sitters for our daughter and son
And I heard you whisper "why me Lord, what have I done"
When we got home I said "I need to go back to town"
Walked in the church said "God I'm here" and my knees went down
Chorus
God, I know you're here
Looking down on me
Don't take her away
God, I need her to stay
She means the world to me
The heartbeat of this family
God, I know you're here
Looking down on me
V3
It was a long, hard struggle that brought us here
But we never gave up, our dreams were clear
Last Sunday after church we went out for a drive
Been five years now and our baby girl is still alive
Chorus
God, I know you're here
Looking down on me
You didn't take her away
And she's here to stay
She still means the world to me
Thank you for my family
God, I know you're here
Looking down on me
