This Is My Story of Faith, This Is My Song

Years ago, when I was much younger, 22 to be precise, I was involved in the restoration of a historic church building. It had been left derelict for years. To see it returned to its original glory,as a place of worship, was amazing. At the end of the day I would stand in the church, all on my own, and sing out loud my favorite hymn: "Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His Word; Just to rest upon His promise, And to know, Thus saith the Lord!” As I sang that song with complete faith, believing God would be with me every step of my life, I had no idea what I would be facing 26 years later. I sang those words with such conviction, not realising they would have even more meaning to me as I lost my mobility, my career, and my life as I knew it on so many levels. This is my story of faith, this is my song!
