Dan Burgess wrote this song in the 70's. I used to sing it very often at church in its original key and faithful to the way it was written. I really love this number and tweaked it just a bit, to fit my interpretation of the wonderful message it conveys. Tim Greene, my Producer, has over a period of several years, battled serious health issues. At times, death would have brought welcome relief. His trials were many, and some referred to him as the modern day "Job." During the recording of Thank You, Lord, I thought and pictured Tim still suffering as he was crushed again beneath that weight. Simply, I sang this song for Tim, because he always praised God no matter the depth of his suffering. Tim trusts his Lord and Savior and was and is a constant example of true faith in our loving Lord.
