There will be a day when the Lord returns to take his bride home, what a glorious day that will be! “Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen.” Revelation 1:7

I wrote this song as a reflection of who I am, today, in light of what Christ did for me some 2000 years ago. "I Was There" is a song speaking to me being there that day that Jesus died. He died for my specific sins, to pardon me personally, and so, in a real sense, I was there.

I relate to this song so much. I go through times where I feel like I don't quite measure up, but then I hear these words and I realize I do matter to God. When I sing them, the feeling is even stronger.

The story behind this song was about how my friends left me friendless for 6 years. I was alone everyday and bullied, and thinking there was no one there who understood me, and gets me, but there is. God knows me, He's given me a talent I should use to spread the word of the Gospel!
