The Story Behind This Song

A Prayer Set to Music

Some songs are prayers that needed to be sung. This is one of them.

I wrote this during my morning devotions, and it became a declaration that I pray over my life daily. Every line is personal, every word intentional.

As you listen, I invite you to make it your prayer too.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I Had Nothing, When I Had Nothing
Words that echo in my soul
When I Had Nothing, When I Had Nothing
Making broken pieces whole

[Chorus]
This is my praise
This is my gratitude
When I Had Nothing lifting high
Every single day

[Verse 2]
Through the valleys, through the storms
Your love keeps me safe and warm
In the silence, in the noise
I still hear Your gentle voice

[Bridge]
When I Had Nothing
A melody of grace
When I Had Nothing
Meeting You face to face
