This song is another song resulting from the friendship I share with Steve Mitchinson. I first met Steve in May ‘97 shortly after our family had moved to England . Recently Steve brought me several songs he was working on, and I loved this song from the first time I heard it. I made some suggestions for minor changes and added the line “Your love will find me” at the end of the chorus, but this song is mainly a ‘Steve’ song which is probably one of the reasons I love it! It’s also a ‘Dave’ song, a song originally written by King David about 3000 years ago as he meditated on the wonderful truth of being designed by a loving God.

Featured on vocals is Loralee Thiessen; Brian Thiessen’s wife (Brian “T” is my electric guitar player and friend since we were 5 years old when our dads met through the Ambassadors Quartet). Loralee was raised as a missionary kid in Africa , and I love the sense of ‘African soul’ that influences her singing. She is now a mother of 4, so she is immersed in motherhood, but occasionally we have a chance to sing together which is always a real gift to me!

It’s quite interesting that Steve and his family have moved from England to Canada ; to the other side of the sea as the Psalm says. The Mitchinsons now live in Abbotsford; Steve is a medical doctor in neighbouring Mission , our wives are reunited in their friendship and we are leading worship together at ‘The Bridge’. What a gift from heaven friendship is!
