“I’ve Never Felt So Close” was inspired by the story of a friend’s real life encounter with the comforting words of Psalm 73:28…
“But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.”
I have no idea who might be encouraged by this song…I only know that I’m supposed to offer it…not just to tell the story of the one who lived it but for the one who someday will.
