On Jan 26, 2015, my father Darryll "Skip" Ramsey Sr. was diagnosed with bone cancer. After 20 plus years of kidney failure and a kidney transplant, walking by faith was the norm. So when this storm rolled in, he only did what he knew to do: Walk by faith.
He and the family selected several passages of scripture to pray and meditate on through this time.
The Lord encouraged me to put the scriptures to music and gave me songs to coincide with them. Two weeks later, I went in the studio with friends and "Strength Through the Storm" had begun. The recordings, originally, were to encourage the family and to be played in times when the scriptures could not be read. It was shared with other family and friends and found to be a blessing to others as well.
I later went back in the studio to clean up the songs a little in preparation for a release. The scripture portions were minimally touched to keep the authentic sound and spirit that was strength to my family during that time.
As it has blessed my family through and after our storm, may it bless you as you go through your own. Remember God's word and promises. May it bring you comfort in affliction, joy in times of sorrow, strength in weakness, and grace to endure.

Verse
When my heart and flesh they fail
Your strength flows through
When my faith sometimes is shaken
Knowing that You're with me, gives me strength
Pre-Chorus
My victory's not in the seen but the unseen
You're working in ways that go beyond me
I stand on every promise spoken to me
Chorus
I've found You to be faithful
Omnipotent and able
I've known You to be gracious
And I've tasted of Your goodness
Bridge
Who have I in heaven but You
There is nothing I desire but You

Not a man that You should lie
Your mercies they are new
Day by day

Bless The Lord
Blessed be Your name
For You are good
All Yours works, we give thanks

Blessed be Your name
For You are good
Always

Chorus
He that dwelleth
in the secret place
of the Most High
Shall abide
Verse 1
And I will say of The Lord
He is my refuge and my fortress
my God in Him will I trust
Surely He will deliver me
and with His feathers cover me
And underneath His wings will I hide
Verse 2
And I will say of The Lord
He is my shelter through the storm
He's the solid rock on which I will stand
He's the God who keepeth me
Heals all sickness and disease
and with long life You will satisfy
Bridge
God Almighty
Lord Most High
My refuge
