Song Share Sunday #10: "Whenever You're With Me"

Ooh, I'm so happy to share this song with you! It's so special to me in so many ways!

I recently found inspiration to write this song, which is written for my cousins in China, who asked for a song for their weddings this year. I don't know how serious they were when they brought it up, but here it is and here we are. Brandon wrote a love song, guys!

This Song Share, though, is dedicated to my other cousin, a good friend, and their fiances. Congratulations to Selina & Mark and Helen & Tim!

Songwriting has always been a way of confession for me, and this song is no exception. My first songs were fueled by anger, despair, a longing for something greater in my life, and, when I realized that something was God, a longing for more of God in my heart. This song was the first in a long time that was something beyond all of that, fueled by something I hadn't felt in a long time, and more real this time around. This confession is a mixture of how I simply adore the presence of God and also the presence of someone else. That's a secret for me to know and for you to ponder in confusion. :)

But enough about me. Make this song your own and send it to someone you love to be around. I'll love it if you do, and I hope that they do too!

Peace, love, and an overflowing Chipotle burrito that was too spicy on the bottom,
