a story song about a dad's spiritual encounter while he prayed for his desperately ill daughter
inspirational
Inspirational Christian songs of praise/worship/encouragement/scripture in a simple, engaging, singable style.
My name is Cyndi Aarrestad, and I am a singer/songwriter, wife and mom living on a farm near a small community in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. I am married to Dennis, and together we have raised three awesome young adults. I grew up in a Christian family where singing and music were always a part of our home. Both of my parents played multiple instruments, and all of us children learned to play several as well. We often sang at seniors homes and other special events. At about age 14 I started writing songs on the piano, and later learned the guitar which is now what I often play and compose with. Many of the songs I write are simple praise choruses and childrens songs, but I have also written numerous full-length songs with a style I would describe as a combination of praise/inspirational/country gospel. I have also written and performed many songs customized for special events, such as weddings, dedications, anniversaries, family reunions, Christmas programs, funerals, etc.. I have written over 2,400 songs, and have made 11 recordings in a friends home studio, with my latest 18 recorded at my home, as well as 3 professionally recorded ones over the past 4 years. I also had one CD recorded by the CBC for their radio show Road Records after being chosen in their contest, and I had a song chosen by a Nashville company to be featured in their demo showcase, which was made available to publishers and performers throughout North America. I have had some recent international radio exposure, including having several songs on the European Country Music charts, and an internet presence on various music sites. My latest album, "Restore", is releasing May, 2025. I post new choruses and songs on: https://www.facebook.com/CyndiAarrestadsMusicPage or https://www.facebook.com/Cyndi-Aarrestad-Scripture-Songs-To-Share-435658573172003/ as well as on my soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/cyndiaar On my website, www.cyndiaarrestad.ca I have all my music available as well as a blog of inspiring quotes, scriptures and articles. I believe God has given me a gift to write music, and I am looking to share these songs, wherever He opens up an opportunity. My desire is to honor & glorify Him by sharing what He has given to hopefully encourage and edify the body of Christ. Website: www.cyndiaarrestad.ca

Story behind the song
A friend's dad recently shared with me his experience while praying in a hospital chapel while his daughter was very sick. As I read what he had written, the words and music immediately came together, and I sung what he heard in the chapel that day. It is a powerful reminder of God's care for our loved ones, and that He is in control of every situation.
Lyrics
She Was Mine, My Son Verse 1 In the stillness of a chapel, in the hospital he prayed For the daughter who was lying at death's door As he cried to God for mercy, he heard a still, strong voice Speaking living words like he'd not heard before Chorus She was mine, my son, long before I ever gave her unto you She was mine, my son, and she is loved by me I'll never leave her or forsake her I'll be her shelter through the storm She was mine first, and forever she will be Verse 2 In the hours and days that followed, when all hope was almost gone As his daughter's life there in the balance lay Still so many prayers were offered, and with faith strong in his heart He held to those precious words he'd heard that day Bridge God only knew what the outcome was to be And the miracle he planned for her from eternity (c) Cyndi Aarrestad, January 9, 2012
