On My Mind, 1999 - 2009 || Albums

Rachel is a girl I met in Israel who had been through some really hard and painful stuff in her life. In spite of all the blows the devil had dealt her, she continued to try to find God and understand whether or not he was good and if he cared. One night she expressed God having finally answered some of her most desperate questions and having given her peace about loved ones she had lost. I wrote this song for her, and she sang it with off-key enthusiasm that made me cry every time. I still pray for Rachel.
