WHERE IS GOD??? That could be the question on many people’s minds as we try to deal with the trauma of recent years! Whether it is wars and rumors of wars, 9/11, natural disasters, financial uncertainty, threats of tyranny? It challenges our fundamental beliefs about our Creator! Where is HE?
Well, this song comes from my own journey in dealing with personal, unexpected, traumatic events! This was God’s answer to me through music!
GOD IS FOR ME!
The message is just as relevant to me today as it was the day I sat down at the piano – where words & music flowed from heaven to earth into my soul to bring me comfort in the middle of my uncertainty and pain. It was truly a GIFT from God and I am only that channel through which the music flowed! From that day to this, I have learned that God really is for ME and that He wants my TRUE thanksgiving! And, my prayer is that you would understand that He is also FOR YOU!!!
“God is For Me” is the title song of my first CD. The words are based on verses from Psalm 50 & 56. In changing times of this present world: war, famine, unemployment, economic chaos, uncertainty about the future – all of us need to know & believe that GOD IS FOR YOU & ME! This truth will bring hope and a reason for living.
You and I were put on this earth for a reason! Sharing these songs with you is part of why I was put here! Writing this blog is part of why the Creator put me here in this moment of time!
You can listen to this song below or on my You tube channel here.
Please listen to the song and be blessed by the music and imagery!!!
“GOD IS FOR ME” – Lyrics
The Father says what I want from you,
Is your true thanksgiving.
I want your promises fulfilled.
I want you to trust me in your times of trouble,
So I can rescue you and you can give Me glory!
So, when I am afraid,
I put my confidence in You.
So, when I am afraid,
I put my confidence in You, in You!
You have seen me tossing and turning,
Through the night.
You have collected all of my tears,
And preserved them in your bottle.
You have recorded every tear,
Oh, in your book, Oh God.
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for me! He’s for me!
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for me! He’s for me!
Oh, the very day I call for help,
The tide of the battle turns.
My enemies flee!
I am not afraid of anything man can do to me.
Oh Lord, I’ll surely do,
What I have promised, Lord.
And I’ll thank you for your help,
For you have saved me from death,
My feet from falling,
So that I can walk in the land of the living.
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for me! He’s for me!
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for me! He’s for me!
The Father says what I want from you,
Is your true thanksgiving.
I want your promises fulfilled.
I want you to trust me in your times of trouble,
So I can rescue you and you can give Me glory!
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for YOU!
He’s for YOU!
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for YOU!
He’s for YOU!
Praise your promises!
Praise your promises, Oh God!
Praise your promises!
Praise your promises, Oh God!
God is for ME! He’s for YOU!
He’s for ME and YOU!
God is for ME! He’s for YOU!
He’s for ME and YOU!”

On the 2004 recording of my CD, “DITTO: GOD IS FOR ME”, the CD insert, has this message to you:
“To My Friends, Wherever You are in this World:
These songs were GIFTS to me from the FATHER in the Sky to help me through a very dark time in my life of trials & especially the death of my mother in 1998. Some of these songs have been sung and played for over ten years. They have helped me & given me strength. Now, the healing is complete and it is now time to pass these gifts on to others who need healing from their hurts. Wounded warriors can not win a war. There is a spiritual war that is waging between good and evil. Our Father knows we have been wounded & desires healing & restoration for body, soul, mind, and spirit.
These songs were recorded from my heart & soul. I DO NOT apologize for the emotion in my voice, for at times it was hard to sing, as emotion is gut-wrenching. For the past five years (1999-2004), I have hardly been able to sing. But, there is timing for everything. A time to grieve. A time to laugh. A time to cry. And now it is time for me to sing & share the sweet message of HOPE & HEALING for a world that is becoming more evil every day. GOD IS FOR ME, but He is not only for me, He is for YOU too, my friend. Yes – for you.
It seems that we always want to offer to our God the very best gifts, but what God desires for us to give Him the most is ALL the garbage that stinks up our life. He is the ultimate GARBAGE COLLECTOR! But, somehow we strangely have a hard time letting go of the garbage that stinks up our lives – no matter whether the garbage is our own, because of our own sin, or the garbage of others that they throw at us. Our Maker cares that each of us becomes ALL that He destined for each of us to be. We all have a role to play. I can’t play your role & you can’t play mine. All of our life experiences – good & bad – have been used by the Father to mold us into the person we are today. As I look back on my life, I am grateful for the rain & storms, as well as the sunshine & cool refreshing breeze, as well as the darkness of the night. They produce one thing – GROWTH.
The Father wants our true thanksgiving & our promises fulfilled. He wants us to trust Him in our times of trouble so He can rescue us & so we can given Him glory. My prayer is that you would open up every aspect of your life to Him & let Him make you into everything that He desires. You will never regret your choice to surrender to the GOD OF LOVE.
With Love,
Ditto 😀
