Didn't think I'd be writing anything for a long while, but God is Faithful and inspiration comes in the midst of a storm. This song is for all you good people that have been praying for my daughter and for us. We can't thank you enough. It's working, keep it up, please

Louis,

Very nice. I am a person of faith. I just don't make a big deal of it to others. I choose to keep it personal between me and God.

You are right. Sometimes the storms in our lives give us unexpected inspiration. No matter how severe the storm, there is blue sky above it. Sometimes we just have to be reminded of it.

I'll continue to keep, your daughter and your family in my prayers. I am delighted you were able to find the inspiration and strength to do this amidst the challenges. Stay well and keep your strength, my friend.

Alan

Thanks Al, I appreciate your being there for us.

Louis,

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song that radiates your faith and conviction....it is so touching.

My prayers and thoughts have been going out to your daughter and family since I first heard. I will continue to pray for you all.

I have children, too, and I can only imagine what you must be going through. I pray that the Lord continues to give you the strength you need to get through this storm.

My prayers are with you,
Gail

Hi Louis

Good one, Louis. You sound particularly strong on this one.

Nice to see you back with one!

Scott

Thanks Gail, Joyce, Scott. I've been reading your prayers for us. Can't thank ya'll enough.

A lovely lyric, heartfelt and beautifully sung.
The very fact of being inspired is a precious gift.

Donna

Well put together tune. You make spiritual songs sound "original", somehow finding a new way of looking at things. It's a nice gift.

Kevin

Hi Louis,

We're all standing with you as well. Keep writing. All good things,

Ricki

Continue to stand with feet firmly planted and He will give you what you need. Beautiful almost prayerlike song Louis. Keeping looking up and you won't be let down.

Best to you and your family,
Lynn

Thanks Donna,Kevin, Ricki, Lynn, she actually conversed with us yesterday. Said about 30 words altogether It was a "Big" day.

John

I've been away for a LONG time so I have missed the news of what troubles you are going through. I am happy that your faith is helping to pull you through. Your song is very heartfelt and sung with conviction. Whatever the problem, I hope you and your daughter are coming out the other side and into the light.

Clint

Very touching Louis! Prayers sent for you and your family!

Louis,

I continue to keep your daughter and her loving family in my thoughts and prayers. It sounds like things are beginning to look up. I have been through what you are going through and understand how difficult and heartrending it is. It is weren't for my faith, I never would have been able to endure it. Hang onto that faith...it means everything.

This song is one of your most beautiful yet and it is so heartfelt in the delivery....and I know why. Your daughter will love to hear you sing it to her. Thanks so much for sharing it with all of us.

Keep strong, Louis. We're all with you.

Give her a hug for me,

Jan

Thanks Ya'll, your all very special. And Clint, good to see ya again. Well talk about "Still Standing", today my daughter stood up for the 1st time....She is conversing with us. Her memory is intact, but her vision has not came all the way back yet. She is being moved to a brain trauma rehab place in Birmingham tomorrow. So her progress continues. quickly too... Please keep praying as it is working

That's great news, Louis. It's a long road but not an endless one. Keep writing and sing one for her now and then.

Ricki

Louis,

This is a beautiful song. I'll continue to pray for you and your family. I don't know if I could have written something like this in your circumstances. I think it's the gift of faith.

Very nice

Louis.....Sorry about your daughter...we're praying for her and you and your family....this song is very heartfelt and full of emotion which comes across very meaningful...take care.....Bob

Thanks everyone, this is probably my favorite song right now. She's up in Birmingham now and is making good progress. Today she almost took a coupla steps... By the end of the week she probably will. Getting stronger everyday and tonight she gets to start eating by mouth again. Just a little though. Still can't see well yet, hardly at all actually. So please keep praying, I really appreciate it.

Louis,

Glad to hear she is making progress. Will continue to put her in our prayers...you and your wife, too.

Alan

Hi Louis,

It is wonderful to hear of ShieAnns' continuing progress.

Stay strong Louis.

My prayers and positive thoughts will continue to go out to your daughter and family.

Gail

Hi Louis,

This is quite touching. I love this phrase in particular:

I'm standing on the promises
that He has made

Between the lyrics and your simple yet powerful musication, you've managed to convey a perfect combination of humility and gratitude. While personally I tend to be more of a "fair weather religious person", I appreciate the comfort you have found.

I'm especially thrilled to hear how well your daughter is doing. A day at a time, Louis; we're all right here with you.

Again, a lovely job. Hang in there, and thanks for sharing....

Beth

Hi Louis,

Good song, good new about your daughter. I'll keep her in my prayers.

Mike

Thanks Al,Gail,Beth,Mike, didn't mean to overlook ya'll. She's still progressing. walked about 40ft. this morning, assisted. Eating on her own now too.

I would think the title would be "Standing on His promises"


The melody and the delivery of the hook line is very effective
and very easy to remember. This is the kind of song that could easily be picked up in the praise and worship genre because the hook line is so distinctive. Sometimes a good song is compensation for trials and tribulations.

In the next room, my son Christian is beating my wife in a game of Trivial Pursuit. He just turned 12 yesterday. When he was two, he almost drowned. He was in a coma for 12 hours. We didn't know if he would live and then we didn't know if he had brain damage. Today he is completely normal and an ace in Guitar Hero. Sometimes all you can do is what your line says.

"...I'm standing on His promises to me"

Samuel, I was gonna use that for a title but it was taken
Man I just want to hug your neck, you've been there and know. I met so many people going thru so much while we were down in ICU with my daughter. Some I knew from my work.( Which makes me wonder if that's why I was to meet them before their trouble) Some of their loved ones didn't make it thru. Truely a hearbreaking place. I found it true that Jesus will not leave you comfortless, just like he said that's a fine name you chose for your son

My prayers, thoughts and my special candles are lit, which I light always for friends and loved ones at times like these, something my grandmother did..probably just her special way of adding her love and prayers...I guess and her heart..that was just her way..so you and your family have these heart lit candles glowing in my home for you...i've lit one everyday for you, Al and Ziggy......all my love to you Louis....glyn
