You may be wondering why someone would feel the need to rewrite a perfectly good book such as the Psalms. Psalms is already an inspiring book, poetic in nature and description.
Well, the idea came to me as a challenge. What if Psalms could be put into rhyme without sacrificing the core truths and inspirations?
I thought this idea was from the Lord, so I acted on it.
Thirty-one chapters into my writing, I had a serious car accident which left me speech-challenged for several months.
Forty-five days after my accident, I cried out to the Lord for help. How could I continue my writing task when I couldn't even carry on a conversation?
The answer came. "Don't worry, son, just go on to sleep, and I will wake you when it's time."
Three and a half hours after I went to bed that night, the Lord awakened me. "It's time!"
So every night I went to the front room where He would give me rhymes, a little at a time until it was finally done.
Words and phrases like pennies from Heaven would fall into my mind's eye, and I would write. Once I started, the poetry flowed out from the depth of my soul, through pen-strokes back to God who gave the inspiration to me.
I couldn't even talk, but God was giving me beautiful poetic verses! To Him be all the glory!
