Written shortly after my decision to turn down a record deal. I had just returned to my faith in Christ, thanks to my (now) wife of 26 years, and was offered a recording contract. The decision to walk away was actually not difficult, but I wanted to remind myself to trust God on the road ahead.

lyrics

I've seen the pictures, of my Father's eyes
And I've felt the wanting, of this body's life
Turned away from all I've known, for the world to see
Turn away, was it me?

When the time is gone, and the night is dawn
Tho the world is crashing all around, All I ask is

Set me spirit free
My spirit free

I was searching high and low, for the answers of my soul
I wanted everything, but alone
And now you lay before me, the road that I must choose
I've waited so long, for the truth

So I've waited for You
And I'm praying of You
So I ask of thee, just remember me

So it's not alone, that I walk this road
And it's not alone, that I live
If I fall from you, I'll remember truth
Open my heart's door, walk with me
