Two major events birthed this song:
The day we moved in into our home, I waited till everyone was asleep before I came into the living room.
I couldn't believe we were finally 'here'. I sat in the dark but all the lights in the compound shone through the window pane as we hadn't fixed the curtains. It was a beautiful sight and I started to cry.
One Friday, a year before we moved in, my husband came to my office and told me we had to leave. I told him I still had a lot of work. Then he dropped a bombshell "They said they are on the way to demolish our house" 😭 Building that was already standing. The news was shocking. How? Why?
We gathered our children. We got to the site and all sat on bare ground. Crying, praying. 'They' came and apparently someone (a person we know) had reported us for an infringement. A miracle happened that day. Although we were made to stop work for a year, our house was not demolished.
I kept prophesying that "We will build houses and INHABIT them". I burst out in worship in our first day and the words below came to me.
You keep your promises
You never fail me God
You are the promise keeper
I recorded it. I sang these 3 line for weeks.
Another event brought the remaining lyrics of the song 🙏
Your favourite writer girl,
Love.
