0 Thank You to Our WWII Veterans on D-Day

Thank You to Our WWII Veterans on D-Day

Today is very personal to me. As we remember and honor all those who served in WWII and on this fated D-Day, I am remembering my grandfather, Wayne Ray, who was at Omaha Beach and at the Battle of the Bulge. He went home to be with the Lord a few years ago, but we will always remember him. Here is a tribute song I wrote that is available on iTunes in honor & gratitude of him & several family members and to say Thank You to all who sacrificed on our behalf. Please share with any who have served their country & those who have lost loved ones. Especially any WWII Veterans! We will never forget & we honor their sacrifice! You can listen for free using the player below or find links to purchase and download the single on the discography page.

0 Remember Their Sacrifice on Memorial Day

Please join me in saying Thank You to the brave men & women who paid the ultimate price for our freedom and for others around the world. We honor you and remember your sacrifice on this Memorial Day. We pray that God would comfort & heal the broken hearts of those loved ones & families left behind.

This is a song that I wrote in honor of my grandfather, Wayne Ray, who served in WWII and as a Thank You to all who have served and given selfless sacrifice.

Though it might not seem enough
For those who’ve been left behind I know
My prayers are lifted up
God comfort them and heal their broken hearts, oh-oh
Grant them peace in time

Thank you
For all that you have given
Selfless sacrifice,
Paid the ultimate price
The life you set aside for mine
—Thank You

Fans of Brandon Heath and Tenth Avenue North will enjoy this rocking reminder that God is our Jehovah Jireh, our provider. We don’t need to worry, because he knows and takes care of our needs before we even know what to ask for.

This is another new single from the upcoming full-length release, “White”. Once again, Dawson, has teamed up with the amazing Nick Garrett-Powell who recorded and produced the track as well as playing electric guitar, bass and singing additional harmonies. Nick even managed to get Dawson to sing some of his own harmonies on this song and they were joined by the fantastic Jim Sitter on drums.

This song is a reminder that God is our Jehovah Jireh, our provider. As Paul says in Philippians “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” The song also pulls from Matthew 6 where it admonishes us to pay heed to how God cares even for the birds of the air and provides for their needs. How much more will He, and has He already done for us?!

Lyrics

Jehovah Jireh

Lord, help me to rely on You
Lean not on my own understanding
Deny myself and choose
To pick up my cross and follow
For I have learned the secret
Of being content in all things
Is in You

Jehovah Jireh
Lord, You are, oh my provider
And I’ll not want for anything
More than anything all I want is You

You said to ask and seek and knock
And the door would be opened
To seek first the kingdom of God
And all shall be added
For the birds of the air neither sow nor they reap
Yet you always take care of them
So much more have you done for me, Lord

Just like Abraham needed a lamb
The woman at the well more than water to drink
So you always know every single need
Before I even speak

Philippians 4:11-13, 19; Matthew 6:8,25-34; Genesis 22:1-19; John 4:1-42; Romans 8:26-27
