“Nearer, My God, To Thee” by Shay Vogler
Contestant's Christian Charity: World VisionI chose this song because it means a lot to me. I was born 3 months early and along with being premature comes several health issues. My birth mother was not in her right mind when she gave me life and severely abused me in infancy and early toddlerhood (Thankfully it was just me and not my two younger sisters, she did it to). In October of 1998, my younger sister and I were removed from her home and placed with a young couple who had our youngest sister whom we didn’t know existed at the time. In September of 1999, that young couple became our forever family. I’ve known, I was adopted my entire life and grew up in church and a private Christian school, but it wasn’t until 2016 when I realized what God meant by “I’m not ready for you yet.” “Nearer, My God, To Thee” is a song that I have known my entire life and can relate personally. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2016 and felt the arms of the Lord surround me and my mom in that doctor’s office and ever since then, I’ve always felt Him even more, so in my life than I have before. I hope you enjoy what you hear and please remember, this is a cover and not a professional recording.
