I (Paul) wrote this song at one of the lowest points in my life.  After 14 years of pastoring and pouring our lives into the church we planted in Southern California, Jan and I made the decision to close it down and move on to a new ministry, it was a heart wrenching choice. the disappointment was beyond comprehension.

While attending a conference in Redding, California I was reading Psalm 27; verse 13 jumped off the page at me, it says, "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodnes of Lord in the land of the living". The Lord reminded me that I must choose to trust Him no matter what I could understand at that point in my personal experience.

This song is a prayer of faith and intercession, we must believe, but we must cry out to the Lord with all that is within us and ask and thank Him for His deliverance and direction in our lives.
