Jeremy Camp has been recording Christian music for about five years, a relatively short time compared with some other contemporary Christian music legends. He has a wonderful talent for penning songs that detail his remarkable journey of faith. However, a tragedy in his personal life a few years ago has added a unique perspective to the songs that he writes.Less than four months after he and his wife Melissa were married, she passed away due to cancer; she was only 21 years old. Through this heartbreaking trial, Camp maintained his trust and faith in the Lord as his provider. Out of this experience, a song he called "I Still Believe" emerged. This song is our Song of the Week. What a statement - after all that he went through in the passing of his wife and the questions that no doubt ran through his mind, to still be able to say unwaveringly, "I still believe in your faithfulness...Even when I don't see, I still believe." What faith!
A close second in the running of Camp's songs for SOTW is "Enough." This popular praise song has been on my mind for the last few days. The chorus, which talks about how the Lord God is enough to be able to satisfy all of our needs, has caused me to do an honest evaluation of my relationship with Him and how much I let myself be satisfied in Him. May it do the same in your life.
Philippians 4:19 - "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory." (Emphasis added)
