![]() During the first week in Singapore, by God’s grace, a physician-a cardiologist- hosted an Alpha event and invited me as a speaker. I’ll be completely forthcoming… I have not had a hospital check-up in almost 2 years. I had a hematoma on my arm and felt a sudden looming sense of relapse. Not only was it the anniversary, but also because for the past couple weeks, I’ve been quite emotional given a health scare situation. I thought it would be a good idea to make “Chemo Song” the next song I tackled, especially given the interesting timing in so many ways. I wanted the depth of the song to come from the lyrics and music of that season, rather than the title. After all, it was a song I wrote while in chemo. I titled it, “ Chemo Song,” not wanting to make it seem deeper than it was. One song that resulted from that difficult season ended up on my debut album in the form of a song of encouragement. During those first 40 days, I wrote numerous songs. I had just spent my 40th day and 40th night in that miserable hospital room. Exactly 10 years ago today, I was sitting in the hospital undergoing an experimental chemotherapy for the second time in my life. ![]() ![]() ![]() But when he is tasked with accompanying a family friend's “treasure” to the Highlands, he is surprised to learn the treasure is a beautiful woman on the run - and even more surprised to discover bruises hidden by her veil.
