This song was written by Jess Roberds. He was the pastor of the first church I led music at and served in a more official capacity in ministry. He was very generous to give me opportunities to serve in the church when I was inexperienced and experimental. I don’t remember him ever giving a harsh word of criticism, he gave me the wonderful gift of a space to grow. Today is his birthday and this song came to my mind, enjoy!
