"Of course, I haven't written songs like you have," I added. David laughed again. I felt like I had known him all my life. His personality was strong and commanding. But he was a servant because of the work that God has done in him. He seemed like a friend, yet he was a king. He was the only one I saw with a crown on his head other than Jesus.

He had an awe about him, and great respect was shown to him by the people who walked by. He had an infectious smile. Now I've had people tell me that I have pretty teeth, but his teeth are beautiful. He had a hardy laugh. He shook when he laughed. I felt so comfortable with him.

I asked him how he got his ideas for his songs because I know that musicians get ideas from all kinds of creative ways.

"From the Lord," he answered. We both laughed again.

He continued, "I did write songs of my experiences, like a lot of other people do. But the better ones are when I allowed the lordship of God in me to come out more than the trouble that I spoke about."

He didn't say this, but I knew that he meant that some people picked up his trouble as something they had to go through, too. But what he was saying was that when he allowed God to come through him, he was able to write anointed messages like, The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He did use Psalm 23 as an example as he explained, "I allowed God and the anointing to come through in that song. In other songs I sang strongly about my troubles. I think I should have allowed more of the answer to come through, instead of the complaining." Those weren't his exact words, but I knew that was what he meant.

Then he added, "I wish I had written more songs about God's answers than about my problems. If I had listened to the Lord, there are some things I would have never gone through. Now you have my record, so follow the record God told me and you won't walk through some of the places I walked through."

I'll never forget those words.

He asked me what instrument I played and I said the guitar and the piano. "The piano is like the harp," I explained because I didn't think they had pianos in David's days.

"I know," David replied. I laughed because I realized that he knew much more than I did about everything, but I didn't stop asking questions that seemed to have obvious answers.

I Saw My House in Heaven

Then he took me to my house. When I walked up, I looked at the grounds. There was a water fountain in the front yard and manicured grass. It was the prettiest place I had ever laid eyes on. I said, "This is my house?"

"Yes," David said. "Would you like to go inside?"

"Yes, I want to go inside!"

To me, the foyer of a home sets the mood of a house.
