Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song when I walked through a graveyard (of all places!!) I started thinking about God, and about New Orleans mausoleums, and the whole concept about the dead being risen from the grave.
Song Description
The idea of this song is that a person has unshaken faith in God. There's an elated feeling, that no matter what happens in life, things are gonna be alright, with God at the helm.

Lyrics
That's Why I'm Here (by Cheryl Hodge, c. 2009)
I am renewed
I things workin'
I feel the power
Wash over me
I can feel the pull
It's liftin' me higher
Ooh, bringing me closer
To being free
(BR) I don't need to hear you
I don't need to touch you
To know that you're there
Somewhere in my heart
I just know you're with me
And always will be
That's why I'm here.
You're moving me somewhere
Maybe far from here
Ooh, but that's just the way
You choose to be.
You're taking me places
To lesser known faces
Yet, I'm feeling closer
To being sure
(REPEAT BRIDGE)
