Welcome! I am a singer/songwriter of different styles of Christian and Country Music....Enjoy the message I bring, and may your heart be ministered to.
Hello! I'm very glad you stopped in to listen and visit. :) The message I carry is simply this...Jesus loves you and I do too. Hope you enjoy what you hear, and get a blessing from the music, as God does not give His people gifts to just set them upon the shelf, and never be used. I'm only as good as the Lord helps me to be, and I'm thankful for the blessings He has bestowed upon me. I'm NOT perfect, never claimed to be; but on the other hand, I have a message to minister in song, and I do that to the best of my ability. I fully realize there are many songs I demo here that don't fit my style/voice, but I can't run out and get a singer that fits everytime I write a song. :) What I write or cover comes from the heart. I've endured many hard trials in my life, and each one has, in one way or the other made its way into a song that others can relate to. All of my songs except for noted exceptions are free downloads. I'm not a professional by any means, nor am I interested in becoming one; and so the music is given away just as freely as the message was given to me.

Story behind the song
I tell you, my memory HAS faded..I didn't realize until I was copying the lyrics, that I wrote this song in 1999, but didn't cut it until 2001. I had many struggles with the music, and was learning as fast as I could..this track was not built from scratch..I added some things to help it, along as I was building..didn't know much back then. :) (And yes, that is me, once again, pitch-bending the keyboard overdrive guitar to get a lead sound...I quantized an eight-beat drum rhythm to get hopefully, a 4/4 rhythm...I honestly don't know, I just know it fit when I did it. :D) But I had FAITH and I stood firm on that, when I didn't have anything else. :D No matter what happens, STAND FIRM UPON YOUR FAITH...God will come thru, He always does. :)
Lyrics
STAND FIRM Tammy Swindell © 1999 The troubles of this life can bring you down, Everywhere you turn, there’s no way out. But in the midst of all your troubles, you will see a light You know that’s Jesus, and everything will be all right! CHORUS Stand Firm, upon your faith; Let Jesus take control, come what may. He’s your shield and your strength, and the light That shines your way; Stand firm, upon your faith! God has given you a calling to fulfill Satan tries to tear you down and try he will. But stand tall, oh, my brother; and keep your eyes on Him. He will strengthen you, when you hide yourself in Him!
