Jamie Grace – Worship In The Waiting

There’s a line in “Different” about not having a lot of friends, and, “I know some lovely people now, but one thing still remains.” The deeper heart behind that is that I do have a few great friends now, and I love them dearly, but I don’t have a million friends. As you get older, you realize you may not fit-in with everyone, but you’re still a child of God. The King of the world says, “You are Mine.” The King of the world says, “You are loves.” The King of the world says, “You’re My daughter, and that’s enough.”

It’s just a good way for me to keep my heart in check and remain at peace. Of course, it’s easier said than done because I’m still human, 25, a millennial and kind of a nutcase [laughs], but it’s a good reminder to know that I don’t need anything else. I’m a daughter of the King of all Kings, and the Lord of all Lords, and He’s literally all I need.

CCM: Your album ended on a powerful note with the song “Heaven.” Could you share the story behind that track?
JG: About five years ago, my mom got really sick, and life took a turn that I couldn’t have expected. I’m on tour and having fun, but sometimes literally walking on stage and getting a text from my dad that says, “We’re going to the ER again.” And then, having to sing for an hour, not knowing what is happening. There was a time when my mom actually flat-lined, and we didn’t think we were going to be able to bring her back.

It was really hard for me. A lot of people I was working with, I wanted them to be there, and they weren’t. I started to feel very alone and very secluded, and I didn’t know where I could turn. For me, anytime that’s happened in the past, I go to the Word of God. I go to prayer. I drop to my knees, and I talk to the Lord. I remember many nights praying to God, asking Him for healing for my mom; asking Him to do a miracle in her. She’s the most amazing woman that I know; she’s everything to me.
