I recently had an opportunity to actually work with a writer on
a new music track.   The writer is a musician and he played for
me at a friend’s wedding a few years ago. He later reached out
to me and he explained his vision.  We had a couple of meetings,
I learned his song and last weekend I recorded it.  Most of the
songs that I record are either written or arranged by me so this
was a new experience.  I had to do things the writer’s way.  His
vision was for me to not only sing the song, but to include
exhortation. I’ve done this at church, but I’ve never recorded
it.  On this project, I had to depend totally on God.  I had to
study the song and find the scripture that it referenced.  I had
to feel this song and make it personal to me.  The song comes
from Psalms 118:15 where it says “Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous”.   As I looked at the
entire chapter of Psalms 118,  I felt that this song meant to
rejoice and be glad in God because he has already won the
victory for us.  In
