Recover Me was written in response to my own personal journey of faith and is dedicated to the sweet sojourners in the Celebrate Recovery ministry at Cedar Ridge Community Church.                                  

the story behind the song

the MP3 of the song

I took our youngest daughter for her learner's permit today. Before we left the house i asked her if she had read the manual.

"Yeah, last week."

"So, you're ready then?"

"I'm going to study on the way in the car," she said, adding, "you know, my friend studied for four hours and failed. Then she didn't study at all and took the test again and passed."

"But you read the book, right?"

"Right," she said.

As we were driving, she was perusing her book and remarked, "Hey, I didn't know you couldn't wear headphones while driving."

"I thought you read the book."

"Well, yeah, I mean, you know, I skimmed it."

She didn't pass the test and will have to retake it.

It reminded me of how many times i've neglected to listen to the voice of wisdom, skimmed for a pertinent Scripture verse or two and fallen flat on my face. It reminded me that, if i want to be ready for all of life's tests, i need to take the time - everyday - to study the Book.
