Written by Rick Lee James releases the music video for “The Lord Is Our Shepherd (To The Babies We Lost)”. Here is the story for the song, “This is without a doubt the most difficult song on the album for me. One miscarriage seemed more than our family could bear. After four miscarriages, our hearts have been so wounded that I wonder if they will ever heal. My beautiful wife has endured more emotional pain than anyone ever should. After one of the miscarriages we experienced, when once again our child’s heartbeat couldn’t be found, I remember just holding my wife in the hospital bed and praying Psalm 23, “The Lord is My Shepherd”. We prayed that prayer in spite of how we felt. I still pray it daily in the hope that at the resurrection, the renewal of all things when Christ returns, that we will someday meet and hold these babies that we lost. Musically this song is sparse. In the studio I played the piano and sang the vocals, but mostly I wept. I have to tell you that Chris Hoisington really became more than a producer for me in these personal moments. He sat with me, cried with me, and prayed with me throughout the process. As believers we will have grief, we will have hurt, we will have terrible struggles, but in Christ we also have a Savior who draws near and suffers with us. This song is our very personal story, and I hope it will help others to come out of the shadows and embrace their own pain. Only broken people will ultimately find healing.”
