Steadfast was originally supposed to be a Latin grove. One of
the songs I took off this project was so perfect for the Easter
project I am planning in the future, but I needed another strong
song to take its place. The Lord gave me Steadfast inspired
from my theme scripture in Psalm 108:1. “My heart is
Steadfast…”
When Doug heard the demo he immediately felt a rock-n-roll
song so he combined a classic rock feel and the Latin piano
and we were excited. Doug recommended Mike Stewart to do a
killer guitar solo during the bridge. Then Doug heard all kinds
of fun and strong back-up vocals which really finished the song
off. The words are inspired by all my years of military service
and my service for the Lord. I am proudly serving in the Army of
the Lord! When you serve God there is victory and He will
conquer!

renew their strength. They will soar
on wings like eagles; they will run
and not grow weary, they will walk
and not be faint." -Isaiah 40:31
