I Have a God

I Have a God...Still....after 25 years

This song was written in the summer of 1988.  Rev. Rex Johnson had visited The Pentecostal Church of DeQuincy and preached a sermon by this title.  I was inspired and wrote the lyrics quickly late one night soon after.  They came with no struggle or forethought.  The melody was just as instantaneous.  The inspiration which they gave to me and all those who heard is still a marvel to me.  I am still grateful that I was able to be the pen and voice to birth the song.

I'd like to say thank you to my Pastor G. David Hennigan who encouraged and motivated me to write and use my songs.  And, to my father, Mac Lyle, who also encouraged and got us moving along to record.  The band members were gifted to follow the style and musical direction of the melody and lyrics.  Jeff Hennigan, Terrell Hollingsworth, Derrell Dykes, and Brent Cole.  #RIPBrentCole  The best player.  Period.

Many who knew it still ask for me to share it.  I've uploaded it  https://youtu.be/M4In6RhsTVo

Here are the lyrics

I have a God

v 1
When he went back to prepare for us a place
He sent the comforter to fill up all that empty space
Down in the soul of man and give him living water too
He'll be the light in the darkness shining down on you
I have a God

ch
I have a God that with His angels watches over me
I have a God who puts my enemies beneath my feet
I have a God for when I'm sick or when I'm feeling well
I have a God I have a God and my God can not fail
I have a God

v 2
So, if you're down or if you're low or if you are in need
If you'll look up and past your troubles, you will clear see
My heavenly Father with His angels looking down on you
I have a God I have a God and he will see you through
I have a God
