Story behind the song

Story behind the song...

About two and a half years ago, some very dear friends of mine lost a loved one in a car accident in Maine.  He was the brother of my steel player, Perley Curtis.  His name was Maynard Curtis.  I never had the opportunity to meet him, but from what I've heard, Maynard was greatly loved and touched the lives of many in a positive way while on this earth.  This song was written by his father, Perley M. Curtis, and I recorded it as my gift to him and his entire family.  These words reflect his faith and it is our hope that the song may touch others who have lost loved ones.  We'd like to thank the following people for making this recording possible:  Vaughn Lofstead, Perley R. Curtis, Bud Rawls, Gary Brock, Jim Unger and Steve Holland.  God bless.

Lyrics

Lyrics

We lost a loved one,
And now we’re here with no direction 
Of what to do, where to go 
Or where we’ve been
But dear Jesus, we’re depending
On your mercy, to help us through
This lonely world we’re living in

Yes he’s gone to be 
With Jesus up in Heaven
It’s left us weary 
And our lives are in a spin
But dear Jesus, we’re depending
On your mercy, to help us through
This lonely world we’re living in

Maybe someday time will ease 
This pain we’re feeling
And maybe someday 
We can start to live again
But for now Lord 
We keep praying for your mercy
Please help us through 
This lonely world we’re living in
