🎙️Sunday Songs From the Bathroom #15 e̷d̷i̷t̷e̷d̷

A Shane & Shane Cover 🎧

My best friend once told me a story that has stuck with me.

His grandfather’s ship was destroyed and sunk by a Japanese torpedo during World War II. He was stranded at sea for four days, clinging to a piece of debris while his friends died around him. Some drowned. Others were eaten by sharks.

His grandfather had never been much of a praying man. Until that day.

He told God that if He would save him, he would commit the rest of his life to serving Him.

God saved him.

And the man kept his word.

He became a pastor and eventually founded a church. He served faithfully for years and years, giving of himself to others. He was a great man, and everyone thought highly of him. He walked the talk well into his old age.

Then one day, he was found dead in his study from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

No one knows why. No one knows what happened. He left no note.

Tonight, I found myself thinking about him and about all the times I’ve been in desperate situations and needed God. How He’s always helped me.

I thought about the second attempt on my life, when it was about to be over. The men around me had murder on their minds, and there was very little I could do.

So I prayed silently.

And in that moment, I felt the Lord beside me in a tangible way.

I knew I wasn’t alone.

I knew everything was going to be okay.

I don’t know what happened with my friend’s grandfather late in his life.

But I do know this

God has been there in my darkest moments.

And when I had nothing left

I had Him.

Here’s a Shane & Shane song I recorded a few months ago. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for listening.

    1. Thats how it starts, just a few chords. I’m really not that good for all the years I’ve been playing. It was a hard road just to get where I am now. I know people and have friends that are just naturals and way better than me. It just came easy for them.

  7. True… Some people r born knowing the melody, while others spend yrs finding their own rhythm. U may have taken the longer road, but every step of it made the music urs! U didn’t just learn to play the notes, u learned to turn every struggle along the way into music!! So, be proud of urself and how far u have come….
