Far above the valley of despair,
High on eagle's wings I soar,
Where I leave behind my worldly cares
That will hold me down no more.
The view from heavenly heights is grand,
Where by faith I only see
The Sovereign Lord who's in full control
And is watching over me.
Through dense clouds I fly but do not fear
For God's Spirit is lifting me
Far above my doubts and all my fears
To new heights of jubilee.
On wings of prayer now my heart will soar
As I have joyfully praised;
Released from care and my deep despair,
I will rise on wings unpraised.

- I was born in the naval port of Norfolk, Virginia, the daughter of a US Navy Master Chief. With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
