From Isui Borbolla: I sang it at a competition... I didn't won nothing because of the many talented participants, but I really enjoyed while singing it. My mom and more people told me they were ministered by the song, and personally, I loved the song. Thank you for sharing your talent with the people.

More about Connie Stauffer:
I was raised in Thatcher, Utah, a small town west of Tremonton on the north end of the state. Home is where I enjoy being the most. If I leave, it is usually for something very important. To relax or to waste a few minutes, I gravitate to my piano. My favorite thing to do is to turn out the lights when I'm alone and play to my heart's content. This is one way I find ideas for music. Another place where I've gotten more than a few ideas is when I've been exercising, whether it's walking the trails of Alpine, or riding my road bike. I think about my life and the issues of the day while walking, and those moments frequently end with music rattling through my head. I have a husband, five children and twelve grandchildren - all of whom are the light of my life. I'd rather be with any one of them than just about anything. However, I do enjoy my solitude, which is probably why the hobby of writing music has been so appealing to me. My mother was my music teacher until she said I had outgrown her. I then took from a wonderful lady who helped shape me. Oh how I would love to have a sit-down visit with her. She probably knows me better than anyone, as she was there as I was in the process of becoming. I've been blessed with a husband who is the wind beneath my wings. He's made every possible sacrifice to encourage my music - whether just enjoying playing or writing. Were it not for his support, there is no way I could take it to the level where I can share it. The music on this site is music from my heart over the past 38+ years. It has been my solace through hard times and my joy through the good times. Much of it was "unsolicited" by me; it just came. Some of it has come through assignments or good people trusting me with their lyrics. All of it has been a miracle in my own eyes, as it was not something for which I was trained. My fingers somehow knew how to produce what was rattling through my head and by brute force it has found its way to paper. I hope you will enjoy it and let me know how you are using it. My website has much of what is here plus a lot of songs that do not fall into the "Sacred Music" genre. Feel free to visit it. I love suggestions and comments!

Lyrics: I pray. I ponder the beauties that surround me. <br/>I'm filled with awe at my Heavenly Father's care. <br/>The love of family, friends and neighbors far and near. <br/>In gratitude, I pray. I know He hears. <br/> <br/>I feel His love, the love He gives to me. <br/>Earth angels that surround me, and those I cannot see. <br/>Warmth fills my soul with sweetest harmony. <br/>I feel my Savior near to me. <br/> <br/>But if I lost my home, my family, friends; I'm all alone. <br/>Would then my heart feel joy to sing? <br/>I'd ponder, then I'd pray for strength to make it one more day. <br/>With Christ beside me, He will lead the way. <br/> <br/>I see the beauty of mountains that surround me. <br/>I hear the birds sing; and waves crash on the seas. <br/>I'm filled with wonder at my Heavenly Father's care. <br/>In gratitude I kneel in humble prayer. <br/> <br/>And I think of His love when in my deepest hour; <br/>Remembering the price He paid for His atoning power. <br/>In gratitude, I fall down on my knees. <br/>I feel my Savior's love. He's always near to me. <br/> <br/>I feel His love, the love He freely gives. <br/>Earth angels that surround me, the world wherein I live. <br/>Warmth fills my soul with sweetest harmony. <br/>The love He gives has set me free. <br/>
