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
This song was actually a departure for me in many ways. I had attended the 2008 CAM conference in the beautiful mountains of western Arkansas, and was treated to a workshop given by Pierce Pettis on songwriting, and using different tunings for the guitar. I immediately set to crafting a song that would use a different tuning, and the result of that quiet surrounding coupled with the inspiration to try something new with the music was this song.
Lyrics
The Quiet © Nancy Krebs 5/19/08 When life just seems to be colliding with my inner peace; an urge wells up in me to visit somewhere quiet-- where I come a stranger--leave a friend. Feel that I am on the mend, and refreshed because I went on a journey to the Quiet. Calm returns because I find it deep within the Quiet. Spirit-filled, Spirit-fed Spirit-stilled, Spirit led. Divine Presence can be found. (all around?) Surely this is holy ground. God's love does surround me deep within the Quiet. See your way there if you can. Come a stranger--leave a friend. Simple joys await you when you travel to the Quiet. God Himself will meet you there. He will stay and He will share His voice a whisper in the air, in that mystic quiet. Calm returns because you find it deep within the Quiet. Spirit-filled, Spirit-fed Spirit-stilled, Spirit led. Divine Presence can be found. Surely this is holy ground. God's love will surround you deep within the Quiet. Spirit-filled, Spirit-fed Spirit-stilled, Spirit led. Divine Presence can be found. Surely this is holy ground. God's love does surround us deep within the Quiet.
