Meditational, thought-provoking songs for easy Christian listening...the music of singer-songwriter Nancy Krebs
Welcome to my Soundclick page! I have been a professional actor and singer for all of my adult life. I felt fairly complete doing theatre, films, voice-over work commercials, and teaching. Ever since I was in High School, I also wrote songs--many of them spiritual in nature. I’ve always felt a strong desire to “serve” in some capacity. It wasn’t until 1994, when I turned the process of writing over to God, that all of the avenues that I had been following seemed to come together. I began to write song after song, inspired by the Holy Spirit, singing at a church that supported my fledgling efforts. People kept asking me ‘do you have a cassette or a CD of your songs?” “No”, I would always answer--for the thought of recording never entered my head. Finally, after much soul-searching, my first album, THE JOURNEY, was created, and concerts followed; and more songs followed, and another album followed, and the journey continues. God is not finished yet, and neither am I. The songs I’ve been blessed to write come under the heading of “meditational”, “contemplative”, “inspirational”; and when people listen, they seem to be moved by the sentiments expressed. My fervent hope is that a song will touch someone’s heart, and that heart will be moved to a closer union with God--the Father, who created us, Jesus the Son, who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit, who sanctifies us.

Story behind the song
inspired by looking at Crosses atop churches as I was driving one day. I just wondered how many people look at that cross and don't think about the tremendous sacrifice that gave us the icon of the cross.
Lyrics
YOUR LOVE LIKE A RIVER ©Nancy Krebs 1999 How many times a day How many times a week do I see Your cross on some steeple peak? How often to I glance away; without thinking of the price You paid; without thinking of the love You gave, without thinking of Your sorrow, Your pain? Every time I pass You by, or dismiss You from my mind; I deepen Your wounds, add to Your grief with a coldness so unkind. But You love me with a burning love. My name is written in Your heart. You will not let me run from You; ‘Til Your name is etched on my heart. For Your love, like a river it flows down from Your cross. It breaks down my nameless fear, and fills up my sense of loss. Your hands stretch forth to touch me from Your prison on the cross. You long to recreate me by the power of Your cross. Your love, just like a river; it flows down from Your cross. How many times a day How many times a week will I see Your cross on some steeple peak? How can I glance away; without thinking of the price You paid; without thinking of the love You gave, without thinking of Your sorrow, Your pain? For Your love, like a river; it flows down from Your cross. It breaks down my nameless fear and fills up my sense of loss. Your hands stretch forth to touch me from Your prison on the cross. You long to recreate me by the power of Your cross. Your love, just like a river; it flows down from Your cross. Your love, just like a river, it flows down from Your cross. based on the “Prayer to the Cross of Love” Diocese of Springfield, MA
