My Lord Will Always Provide

[Here’s a recording of this song. A lead sheet is found here.]

God is my Creator, my Redeemer, my Sustainer.
He knows all of my needs and tends to them with Love.
Nothing’s too big or too hard for Him to help with.
God wants what’s best for me.
My Lord always provides.
My Lord will always provide.

About This Song

Some of you already know that I haven’t written many new songs since I began writing Christian novels. Not that I haven’t had the time or the desire, but I can’t simply decide it’s time to write a new song. I have to wait (and pray) for God to plant an idea in my heart.

At this stage of my life, He apparently prefers the new novels, and that’s okay. He’s the One I most want to use my my creativity to please.

A few years ago I was practicing one of my older songs, “When I Am Scared”. Even with changes I was making to the lyrics, it still didn’t seem right. I modified the lyrics some more, but one thing became more and more evident. The song seemed to go on forever and ever.

Although I eliminated one of the four stanzas, I felt compelled to add a refrain–or at least a bridge–to add a little variety. I don’t know which I struggled with more, the words or the tune, but what you see above is what I ended up with.

Although it would be pretty long for a refrain, it makes a catchy little chorus when used by itself. I not only catch myself singing it in the shower, I rarely miss a day of not singing it with my guitar. Since I enjoy it and find it so encouraging, I hope other people will, too. Feel free to watch a video of me doing it HERE.

I pray that it will bless you, too.

My two most recent novels are shown below and their pictures are links to the Amazon pages. The eighteen-book picture is a link to my Amazon Author Page. A new novel will be published soon.

I’ll be back again next Wednesday. Please join me then. Better still, sign up to receive these weekly posts by email. Oh, and I’m sorry about whatever ads may show up with my posts, but the family budget doesn’t cover not having them.

Best regards,
Roger
