~~~ THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG ~~~
During a break in our recording session in Nashville my producer, Mark Burchfield, who also played bass in the Twila Paris road band at the time, ask me if I would like to go to Twila's rehearsal for an upcoming tour. Of course I was thrilled to go and since I was the only spectator there in this huge Nashville warehouse that had been set up with all of the sound, lights, etc., I really enjoyed the whole experience. When we emerged from the building there was a beautiful light Southern rain falling and as I headed for my car I spotted Twila waiting for her driver to pick her up. She was standing there in her sweats, holding a bouquet of roses in one hand, waiting patiently. What struck me so clearly in that moment was this: No matter where we are as performing songwriters, or what we are doing, our material that we try to record and sing and release to radio and do live as much as possible - the message - in those tunes is getting out and telling of the Gospel and the loving Savior we write about - it struck me so clearly that I knew I had to write a song about this moment in time ... the song below is what eventually emerged ... it is song #10 on the "All It Takes" CD ... hope you enjoy it ...
