Story behind the song
This raw torched acoustic ballad song was inspired from a sermon i preached on a Sunday. Taken from the book of Joshua chapter 24 verse 15 where Joshua challenged israel to choose between God almighty and the false Gods of eygpt. About a week later after that sermon i woke up in the wee hours of the early morning singing the song out of my sleep! In fact i was singing the song in my dreams as i strummed the guitar chords. I quickly arose and ran into my office, grabbed my guitar and started to sing and play the song automatically as if i had known it already! I felt goose bumbs as i wrote the lyrics down and i knew this song was special! I was almost finished with my 2011 Cd, but i was strongly compelled to add it to the album. So i recorded it and put it on the album in place of another song. It immediately became one of my favorite tracks on the Cd because of it's raw sincere and emotional appeal. A song every "TRUE" Christian can relate to!
