Lyrics

Verse 1
Today I stopped myself and turned around
To see how far I’d come
‘Cause I’ve been pushing so hard against the wind and the rain
I’ve forgotten all the ground I’ve gained"

Chorus 1:
‘Cause now my heart is much softer but my soul is steady strong
And my body’s slowly healing from a life that’s been undone
And when I see how far I’ve come
On this journey of my life -  oh
God was with me every minute and He will never leave my side

Verse 2
I’m learning how to take change as it comes 
And step into the new
And I’ll leave what’s behind so I can freely run the race
Pressing on, I’ll run into His arms

Chorus 1:
‘Cause now my heart is much softer but my soul is steady strong
And my body’s slowly healing from a life that’s been undone
And when I see how far I’ve come
On this journey of my life -  oh
God was with me every minute and He will never leave my side

Bridge:
So be mindful of the moment
And take time to smile and laugh
And turn your praises to the One
Who holds you in His hand
 
Chorus 2:
Then your heart will be softer but and your soul steady strong
And your body will start healing from a life that’s been undone
And when you see how far you’ve come
On this journey of your life, oh
God was with you every minute
God was with you every minute
He was with you every minute
Yes, God was with you every minute and He will never leave your side

Biography

My name is Suzanne Vaartstra (pronounced: 'vart - strah') and I'm a singer/songwriter from Edmonton, AB, Canada (currently living in St. Albert, AB).

I love the contemporary sound with jazz/folk influences mixed in. I also love writing, creating, and listening to music that moves my heart and reaches those deep places in our souls.

I was classically trained for many years and then attended the Jazz Music program at Grant MacEwan College (GMCC) in Edmonton, AB with a major in both Music Composition and Recording Arts... [more]
