Say Amen

The word “amen” in Scripture means SO BE IT or WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.

Several years ago singer and songwriter Ginny Owens, who found herself blind at the age of 3, was working on the idea of a song entitled “AMEN”, but was never able to finish it until she met and made a very dear friend named Ronnell about 5 years ago. Ronnell was in her 20’s and had a very rare disease. She was a singer, song writer, and author.

They decided to work on the song together and it was especially precious because Ronnell was okay with her disease and whatever the Lord wanted to do with it. If He chose to heal her, she would sing for His glory. If He chose to take her home to heaven, she would sing for Him and for His glory and this would be the “Yes and Amen” of all.

Months later after Ginny and Ronnell completed the song, Ginny sang it at Ronnell’s memorial service and then put it away for years. It is only recently that she has brought it out to sing again.
