Song History:
October 23, 1983
Psalm 8; Colossians 1:16
During the early part of the 1980s, I had been 'taken in' by the Jewell family. John and Linda already had two sons and during this time, soon found they were expecting another child. This was my first real exposure to the truth about life beginning at conception. Here was a woman I respected and spent much time with, carrying a brand new life inside of her. As we prayed over the child John and Linda introduced me to the concept of speaking to the child even before birth. This song came as I meditated on this new little life, yet to be born. I also contemplated my own identity and destiny as if that little life were a representation of my life before God...and this song came...for Adam Jewell...a gift to him and to his family while waiting for his birth...
