Gospel/Christian Bible-based songs
Music has always been a special joy to me. While still a child I enjoyed classical guitar and piano lessons. While growing up I had opportunity to play for our church youth group. More recently I have begun to write songs. They vary widely in style and are not confined to any one genre. My goal is to please the One who is the song-giver; to honour Him in all I write and play. It is my sincere desire that the Lord uses the music I write to draw people closer to Himself. Wherever you are at in relationship to God, may this music touch your heart and be a blessing to you.

Story behind the song
In the summer of 2020, I reached out by phone to the ministry called Insight for Living Canada. The young lady I spoke with was kind and sent a card with a personal note that she was praying for me. The verse on the front of the card was Psalm 18:16 "He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters." That card and that verse were so encouraging that I wanted to remember it, so I put music to the verse.
Lyrics
Verse 1 My heart was sad, lonely and troubled So very tried, I wondered how I could go on Discouraged and afraid, I could not even pray The Lord reached down and strengthened me and gave me peace Verse 2 I was caught in the trap of the enemy He lured me in with the bait of deception I could not break free but the Lord came and stood by me He reached down and led me to a place of safety Verse 3 Waves of fear threatened to overwhelm me Torrents of doubt threw me into confusion I cried unto the Lord and so swiftly He answered me He reached down and pulled me out of deep waters. Verse 4 The Lord is my rock and my fortress He is my shield and the strength of my salvation I cried unto the Lord; from heaven he heard my prayer He reached down and set my feet upon the Rock for sheet music, please email sheetmusic@steadyelmmusic.com
