Gospel and Country

Everything I am is because of the Lord and I give all the glory to Him. The simple truth is God will take care of you. Take the leap of faith, ask Jesus into your heart, accept His gift of grace, trust and live for Him. Psalm 59:16 "But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble." I am a singer/songwriter playing for the sheer joy of it. I've been finding peace singing at my piano all my life. I'm happy to sing and play for my supper anytime. :)

Story behind the song

For the difficult days, the Lord is our strength.

Lyrics

Release Me, Lord

I've lived a daring life
No pleasures I've not chased
Stood eye to eye with demons
Looked death right in the face
Gave in to my addictions
Sold pieces of myself
But in my desperation
I cried out to You for help

Release me, Lord, from this heavy weight
Help me roll away this stone
Release me, Lord, from my weary fate
I can't do it on my own
I know You're there with open arms
So full of love and grace
Release me, Lord, take me to Your holy place

I need Your precious love
For battles I can't brave
Just make me one more soldier
In the army of the saved
Sometimes those old temptations
Come sneaking right back in
And, Lord, it's then I humbly
Cry out to You again

Release me, Lord, from this heavy weight
Help me roll away this stone
Release me, Lord, from my weary fate
I can't do it on my own
I know You're there with open arms
So full of love and grace
Release me, Lord, take me to Your holy place
