Wickham , I love all of their songs , and I love even my good buddy Josh Baldwin , who is one of my best friends . I ’ m constantly inspired by his songwriting and what he conveys through music .
[ WM ] Great . There ’ s a song that Kris Kristofferson wrote called “ Why Me , Lord ”. So , this is a man who , at the time , did not profess faith in Christ , yet was taken to church and had a profound experience and wrote this song based on that experience . Kristofferson ’ s history was mostly in country music . He was in the Highwaymen with Waylon Jennings , Willie Nelson , and Johnny Cash . They had an amazing group , and of course the only one still standing is Willie Nelson . So , check out “ Why me , Lord ”.
[ Mack ] Okay , I ’ ll listen .
[ WM ] Alright . Radio is currently playing your song “ Time and Time , Again ”. It ’ s a great 6 / 8 anthem and it reminds us of his faithfulness in the past . I know for me , the Lord has said “ yes ” so many times to me that I have to assume that when he has said “ no ” to a request of mine , it must have been for a pretty good reason . What can you say about this song ?
[ Mack ] Well , one , I wrote this song with Josh Baldwin , so that ’ s off to a good start . Already the song is in good hands . But yeah , man , I ’ ve never heard someone say it like you just said it , of the Lord has said yes so many times that I can trust him when he says no . And I think that so much of remembering God ’ s faithfulness , it really does come down to trust . It comes down to do I trust you or don ’ t I ? Because a lot of times what ’ s right in front of us , what our day to day , the big things that we ’ re praying for , those things are scary and those things give us anxiety or stress us out . And at the end of the day , can I say , but I trust that God is in it too .
Can I trust that He sees those things ? Can I trust that He understands my anxiety ? Can I trust that He understands my fears and is still being patient with me and walking with me ? And just like you , when I look back at my life , when I look back at my marriage and my family , I ’ ve seen the Lord do so many things that I didn ’ t even ask for .
I ’ ve seen him open up doors that weren ’ t even on my prayer list . I ’ ve seen him move on our behalf in so many ways , wasn ’ t even the thing that I was asking for . And then years later you see like , “ Wow , look how this led to this , to led to this .” And so I think for me , it ’ s constantly looking back and acknowledging , look what you did in my life . I ’ m going to choose to trust that if you did that before , you can do it again . You can move again . I can trust you with my future just like I ’ ve seen you move in my past .
[ WM ] Wonderful . Well , the reason I said what
