I just learnt the tragic news of Steven Curtis Chapman’s 5 year old daughter, Maria Sue being fatally injured as a result of being knocked by a Sports Utility Vehicle driven by her teenaged brother. In this moment of grief, I can only pray that Steven and his family would be able to find strength in God. I first got to know about Steven when I was introduced to his song “His Strength Is Perfect” back in 2002. We were then rehearsing for choir and our choir conductor asked us to sing this song for the worship service. Indeed, this song became infectious due to its meaningful words so much so that during my wife’s labour with our first daughter, we were both singing this song in the labour room. Truly, my wife and I found strength in God during the labour pains and God delivered us a beautiful baby daughter. God’s strength resulted in my wife not having to rely upon any painkillers during labour.
Steven Curtis Chapman, thank you for the song “His Strength is Perfect” which helped us through during our difficult times. I hope this song will also be your remembrance of God’s strength during your grief too. My condolences to you and your family.
