Story Behind Song
What can I say about Stefanie! Where do I start? I wanted to use a song that we have done several times but I felt that God had a plan for this CD and had His own songs He wanted laid on the tracks. I asked the Lord to give us a song and to my surprise my fabulous husband co-wrote it with me.
Drawing lyrics from the Bible identifying God as “King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, I wanted a song that gave God Praise and Thanks for all He has done in my life. Consequently, completing the very last song on the project, my 2nd album, but 1st album of all original, phew, a life long dream is now completed.
I took Stefanie to the studio and check this out – we all know “7” is God’s number for completion. Consequently, this project is finished! This amazing duet is the last track, the last song written, and the last track to be recorded. When I arrived to pick up Stefanie my speedometer was on all 7’s! It was a confirmation for me that this project had God’s blessing as we neared completion. God speaks to us in so many ways if we just pay attention.
Production Notes
We got to the studio and she vocals blending beautifully. The song superseded my expectations. The first time I heard it I cried because I was so humbled at what God had done. To hear Stefanie’s angelic voice blending with mine it was a dream come true. Stefanie asked, “Was it that bad?” Doug laughed because he knew what was going on. This song is such a blessing to me, I still cry when I have a quiet moment to listen to it and meditate on the fact that I wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for God and His mercy. All the Glory belongs to Him.
Let me take a moment and share why I choose Doug to produce the music on In Spirit and Truth. We met in college back in the day as they say. Doug was writing original music and completing arrangements for our college performances so I knew he was very talented. Further, I knew we could work together and create something amazing to the Glory of God. To put it another way Doug could put into music what I heard in my head. They only person I have been able to work with who can do this better is me, but I am not a producer. At least not yet, my husband keeps encouraging me to learn the craft. Who knows I just may produce my next album.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I don’t know how I’ve come this far but it’s only by Your grace.
I can’t believe here’s another day I’m alive to bring You praise,
So with our hands and hearts held high,
You are my strength and my might.
You calm the storm and raging sea.
You did that for me, for me,
For someone like me.
(Chorus)
It’s not our song because it’s Your song.
All the Glory belongs to You!
You made a sacrifice and laid down Your life.
Something no one else could do.
You are Almighty One, Savior and Friend, Savior and Friend
Blessed One who took our sins.
You are King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s,
This is our song.
(Verse 2)
I wandered through a vast wasteland to find You there all along.
I cried to You in troubled times and You only made me strong.
We see Your works and wondrous deeds,
We exalt You Lord on High!
You have every part of me,
Every deepest part of me, of me,
Of someone like me.
(Bridge)
We offer up this song to You, it’s the least we can do.
You are Abba Father glorious Lord, Its You we adore.
We give You thanks, we give You praise!
Forever (Forever) and ever (and ever)
And ever (Praise You Lord)
And ever (Hallelujah!)
(dovetails into key change)
(Chorus)
Repeat Chorus
(End Tag)
You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords
The Bles-sed One
This is our song! Our Song!
