"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." Psalm 20:7 Many years ago... at Native Nations Ablaze event in Mission, SD (August 2011). I heard a team from Iowa spontaneously sing, "we burn our chariots, we set our horses free because You are all we need." Well... I LOVED it and it got filed into my memory bank... even forgot about it until a morning prayer at Destiny Foursquare Church. What is interesting is I couldn't recall the where it came from... and Pastor Tani Parker said, "Ken you better write a song from that or me and Brent will." Over time... the memory of that song began to resurface and I recalled there is a video on YouTube from that moment in Mission, SD. I took the musical idea from the video and wrote a similar idea. In time I contacted the team that came up with that spontaneous idea and was told that someone from another church came up with the line. I found that person and she said, it's not mine... it was spontaneous moment, so please use it! I recorded a portion of the song and recently discovered my original version I started in 2016. Then back in 2021 while visiting my dear friends, Brent and Tani Parker... and we decided to write a song from that phrase... and once again, my memory forgot I even wrote another version back in 2016... so we wrote a newer version of the song. So again, I found the half done 2016 version and decided to finish it. Here it is for you... may we all come to a place in life where we let go, and let God... He is all we need!

In Psalm 96... we are encouraged to sing a new song unto the Lord. I spent some time considering that this week. Soon... melodies and song ideas began to surface within my heart. This song came rather quickly... and the recording of it came along nicely as well. May we always give unto the Lord... a fresh expression of worship each and every day. God is good, and is worthy of all our praise! I will sing I will sing I will sing Unto our King I will give I will give I will give The glory due His name For the Lord is great For the Lord is great For the Lord is greatly to be praised I will rejoice I will rejoice I will rejoice In our King of kings Produced & Performed by: Ken Verheecke Recorded at: Wind & Wheat Music, Cheboygan, MI

This morning, January 29th, 2023 with Psalm 46 on my mind... I started humming a melody and kept singing it to myself as I cooked breakfast. The more I sang it, the more I knew I needed to sit down and write a song... this is what came out of me this morning! A song of faith... peace... rest & trust... God is our refuge God is our strength He is always present And never at arm’s length I will trust in Him Though the waters roar Though the mountains quake I don’t need to fear When the earth begins to shake I will trust in Him I will be still And see what the Lord has done He will be exalted For the battle has been won I will trust in Him Words & Music: Ken Verheecke © 2023 Heartcall Music (Admin. by Heartcall Music Ministry) Produced & Performed by: Ken Verheecke Recorded at: Wind & Wheat Music, Cheboygan, MI Visit Ken @ kenverheecke.com Support Ken @ https://kenverheecke.bandcamp.com/vip-membership

Based on a memory of a young girl I noticed in 8th grade ... never knew her name, but I noticed in spite of all the teasing and jeers she received, she always smiled and danced. Heard years later she passed... wanted to remember her heart and spirit in life. She's Sara Jane to me... She twirls and twirls like a little ballerina With life in her eyes She dances and dances in the pouring rain Arms stretched to the sky She's always smiling No matter how hard the pain She's a delight Sara Jane She's got style, she's got grace Though others are amused They laugh and tease behind her back But they are confused She's always smiling No matter how hard the pain She's a delight Sara Jane Sara Jane Sara Jane Others may come and go But you remain Sara Jane Sara Jane You were always smiling Sara Jane The church yard was empty When I said goodbye this last June My eyes filled with tears I could hardly wipe them dry You left this world too soon You were always smiling No matter how hard the pain You were always a delight Sara Jane Sara Jane Sara Jane Others may come and go But you remain Sara Jane Sara Jane You were always smiling Sara Jane She twirls and twirls like a little ballerina Produced & Performed by: Ken Verheecke Recorded at: Wind & Wheat Music, Cheboygan, MI

This morning... I was out walking around Cheboygan and I found myself marvelling over this season of life. Here I am... 63 years old and I have bought a house in Northern Michigan. WOW, how'd this happen! Anyway... I have come to really enjoy this time each and every morning... and the photo featured on the artwork of this song is one I recently took on one of my recent walks. Tress and leaves against a deep dark blue sky... captures my heart in ways I am not able to articulate. Moves me deeply... I am thankful for this new beginning!

I have been tweaking this song since last summer. It is inspired by some friends who took me to Twin Lakes after a recent concert of mine at Northern Michigan House of Prayer! The Twin Lakes area is located just outside Cheboygan. We also visited a mutual friend at Twin Lakes and sat on his deck over the water as we watched the sun set... a moment of peace, and rest... something I valued at the time. Still do...

Inspired from by this passage: "The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 A wonderful promise from God!

Since 1969, I have been fascinated by the night sky... the stars, the universe... the heavens! I have spent most of my life... looking up! Hoping to see the Milky Way, or the Big Dipper, etc. During such times I keep asking... "what is out there!?" "what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?"

It seems... hope is in short supply these days. No matter where you turn, it is quite challenging to find an encouraging thought or word. It is in those moments that I make a choice... to simply trust God, and commit to finding my hope in Him and in His word. He never fails! Here are a few passages from the bible that have blessed and encouraged me over the years. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."Jeremiah 29:11 "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." Psalm 42:11 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13 May this simple expression of my heart in song bless and encourage as you hear! Hope In You (Lyrics) When all seems lost Darkness closes in I don’t know where to begin A still small voice Whispers in my ear I will comfort and hold you near Hold you near So… I put my hope in You I place my trust in You Though my world is shaking There is one thing that is true I put my hope in You The waters roar The mountains fall You are my all in all I lift a song Let the whole world sing Jesus, our soon coming King Our soon coming King So… I put my hope in You I place my trust in You Though my world is shaking There is one thing that is true I put my hope in You Words & Music: Ken Verheecke © 2022 Heartcall Music (Admin. by Heartcall Music Ministry) Produced & Performed by: Ken Verheecke Recorded at: Wind & Wheat Music, Cheboygan, MI Web: kenverheecke.com
