“My Shelter, My Refuge”

 

“I’ll Be Your Song”

“You are Home”

I had been in a situation one weekend where I was hurt by some people who didn’t seem to care to get to know me. I felt unheard, unseen, and unknown around them and it was just exhausting to be with them. I can remember driving home thinking, I just need to get back with my people who know me. As I was telling God this, I felt him speak to my heart, “But I know you, Kirby. Let me be that for you. Let me be the one to know you, see you, and hear you.” So instead of going to be with my friends, I spent the night with Him and He refreshed me in His presence and it was just the sweetest night that I’ll never forget. It’s the sweetest rest to be known by the King and Creator of this world. Our Father, Our Faithful friend. This song was birthed from that revelation.

“The Will of the Lord”

This is a song I wrote as God was working on my heart in a hard season where the circumstances weren’t working out for me as I had hoped. I found myself anxious about the future and it led me to going to the Word of God and seeking out His promises. I found much comfort in His words and I began asking God to change my heart to desire His will more than anything else trusting that His Will is where the greatest joy is. This song was birthed out of that cry and his work in my heart.

Kathy’s Song (Part 1)-“No Place Like Hope”
I wrote this song a few months after my Aunt Kathy was first diagnosed. I was inspired to write this song after seeing the way she continued to praise God amidst her battle and made it her mission to share the love and joy of Jesus through the platform she was given.  She was one of the strongest people I have ever known. She trusted God from the moment she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in November of 2013 until the moment that her faith was made sight when she met her Lord and Savior, Jesus, face to face on October 11th, 2016.

Kathy’s Song (Part 2)-“Death Has Not Won”

I wrote this song just a few days before Kathy went to be with Jesus when we knew the end was close. It’s a song of hope for those of us left on earth missing Kathy’s presence dearly. See the blog post I wrote that coincides: Rejoicing in Hope.

“At the Cross”

Just a simple song about a powerful Gospel story.

“Redeemed”

I wrote this song in a time where I was learning first hand about the Lord’s redemption and faithfulness to his children. Read more on that story in this blog post: Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So.

“Til Your Glory is All I See”

I went through a season where I was working through some hard things and working on letting go of some past struggles. It brought on a lot of anxiety as I faced sin head on and one day, it felt almost too much to bear. I didn’t know where God was in all of it, but I was sure the enemy had a hold on me. It felt as if he was holding me back from God. But through it all, God made me realize the grip that I felt was HIM holding on to me, keeping me from running away. I was overwhelmed by his grace and love. He began rooting this deep in my soul that He would never let me go. He would never leave me nor forsake me. If after all I’ve done, He hasn’t left me yet, I know He never will. And there is great security in that. I wrote this song that night.
