I Will Exalt You - Song History
WORDS & MUSIC

I know. I know. I keep talking about the fact that I have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, but that is the reality from which I seem to be crying out to the Lord most about these days. Parkinson’s is not a death sentence but it is very debilitating at times. It is in such times when I must fix my eyes on Jesus and receive His sufficient grace to get through. On June 5, 2020 I underwent my third stem cell replacement procedure to try and slow the progress of the disease. Immediately after the surgical procedure, I had a choice to make. Either I could wallow in self-pity or I could exalt my Redeemer. I chose to exalt my Redeemer. This song was born three days after the procedure and has been a daily reminder to me to fix my eyes on Jesus. This simple practice has done wonders for my attitude, my stamina, my mental awareness, my creativity, my relationships with my wife, my kids, and my grandkids. What it has done has been to focus my mind on truth - utter reality. Jesus. I will boast in my weakness that I might know the strength of the power of God to heal my soul…and my body.

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Philippians 4:8 NASB
Verse
What could ever keep me from loving You?
You’ve been there no matter what I’ve ever been through!
So whether laughing or crying
Through living or dying
I worship You

No matter what You’ve always been there Faithful and True
So whether laughing or crying
Through living or dying
I worship You
I worship You

God of all glory
God of all might
You’ve always been there
The Way Truth and Life
I Will exalt You
I will exalt You with all of my might
Risen Redeemer
Shepherd and Friend
Savior Who died for me
Whose love knows no end
I Will exalt You
I Will exalt You
I Will exalt You
