Even as Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, hailed as king with loud choruses of “Hosanna”, I am sure the loneliness of Gethsemane (and, ultimately, of the Father’s face turning away as He hung upon the cross) began to weigh on Him.
- Listen to “Meet with You” featuring Kim Baysinger.
- Print and save the sheet music for “Meet with You”.
That brings me to this, perhaps the loneliest, most yearning and honest of all the songs I’ve yet written. I wrote it for a friend who was going through a very tough time – sitting in an Ohio prison and full of questions for God. I know I could never get into his shoes quite enough to do that experience justice, but this was my humble attempt.
Thankfully, as I write this, my friend is out of prison, in a good church and a healthy relationship, has a job and has seen God’s mercy work wonders in his life. Perhaps, however, with the reminder that Jesus does indeed understand – and care about – our loneliness, this song will minister to someone you know…
In His Peace,
Fisher

That is very special Tom, very special indeed.
The psalms speak to all our moods, and for all our moods. This really captures the spirit of psalm 22 for me.
Because of my ongoing health problems, I’ve been a bit low lately. This song ministers to me, thank you for that.
I really like the way Kim’s voice complements yours. You sing well together.
Good to hear your friend is in a better place now.

That really means a lot, Paul. Blessings to you, and may Christ fill you with His peace this Easter.
