Lord here I am (Ps. 40)

At the end of 2010 I took home a mass booklet.

There was a verse in it from Psalm 40 that grabbed my attention.

In Dutch it says: Hier ben ik Heer, Uw wil te doen is mijn vreugde.

In January 2011 I found the booklet again and decided to translate

the Dutch text to an English version. I came up with the following translation;  Lord here I am, to do Your will is my joy.

Then in February a young woman came to our church. She was very ill. We prayed for her and in March she told me that Psalm 40 was her favourite Psalm, especially verses 8 and 9. Unfortunately she died

in May. The evening before the funeral I had a phone call from a man called Ted Bauer. He was a guitarist, and they had asked him to play at the funeral, but he couldn’t sing very well. He asked me to sing and whether I had some songs we could sing. At the funeral I played the song Lord here I am with him.

Ted Bauer is the guitarist who plays with me on this cd and he also made the videos and the website.

Isn’t it great how God arranges things…….Thank You dear Lord!
