Link to the history of what little we know of this song. This is my favorite song. Encourages your soul. It's so alive when you close your eyes to listen to it it makes you feel as if it was written by GOD personally to you and HE knew exactly what to say to encourage you to keep on living. I love songs that aren't just pretty lyrics, but songs that are strong and have character and meaning behind them and songs that become mentally alive in our souls and literally grab us tight and hold us up close to it as a good, first time mother holds her new born babe. Praise you JESUS all the goodness we possess comes only from you, and you are perfect in every and true therefore we created all things perfect and true in your heart and eyes. I love the LORD can you tell? I pray this song encourages others out of their struggles and helps them come to a closer relationship with It's original creator GOD and learns of the person GOD used to write this song so long ago that it still holds much value and meaning in our lives.
