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
I love to write songs about the events of Holy Week. This one came to me simply from the scene of Holy Thursday, and the Last Supper. This song features the pedal steel guitar playing of my husband--Pete Baden.
Lyrics
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU They seemed so lonely on that Thursday night; they sensed the danger, and they were filled with fright. He knew they’d need Him, when they couldn’t see Him. He took the bread, raised the cup, and made this promise to them: “I will never leave you, I am always with you. I give Myself to you every time you do this in memory of Me. I am the Bread of Life, the Food of Heaven. Take and eat and I will live in you, and you will live in Me.” We, too, get lonely; whether it’s day or night. We encounter danger and it fills us, too, with fright. We also need Him, though we cannot see Him. But we can touch, taste and feel Him and hear His words again: “I will never leave you, I am always with you. I give Myself to you every time you do this in memory of me. I am the Bread of Life, the Food of Heaven. Take and eat and I will live in you, and you will live in Me.” His is the greatest gift, that we could receive. Let us press Him to our hearts, let us now believe; He is no less powerful than when He walked among men. Every time we join with Him, His voice we’ll hear again: “I will never leave you, I am always with you. I give Myself to you every time you do this in memory of Me. I am the Bread of Life, the Food of Heaven. Take and eat and I will live in you and you will live in Me.
