By Joan Bunting, June 13, 2019 — When I was young, six or seven years old, I sang in a choir. I learned many songs in church and in school. In my teens [I listened to] popular songs on the radio and television.
I love music and I enjoy singing very much. In the fifties when every other corner there was a group of guys singing, all the ones I heard sounded great.
On Sundays, I would get real close to the radio and sing along with the gospel singers on the radio station WDAS.
I even sang with my future sister-in-law and her cousin in the neighborhood. We were very good. I had a great singing voice.
Well, I’m much older now and my voice has changed somewhat. I always thought that I sang alto but I learned later that I sing tenor. My voice has gotten lower and I can’t hold my breath as long as I used to.
One evening a few months ago, a song that I haven’t heard or sang in church for a while came to mind so I picked up my hymns anI have at home, looked it up and started signing it. As I sang this song, I started crying realizing how true those words applied to me. I only remembered the first verse. So everyday I would study the words until I memorized all four verses.
I want so much to sing this song at church but like I said, my voice is not as good as it used to be. At first, I got really excited about singing this. As time passes, I get concerned about whether I could do it.
I’ve prayed and asked God to let His will be done not mine.
The song is, “I Trust In God.”
This song is my testimony knowing how God has protected, provided, and has just taken care of me throughout my entire life.
Pray for me that if it is the Lord’s will that I sing this song, that it will let others realize how blessed they are.
