This song, "Safe & Secure"was written in response to the suffering of victims of major natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake inHaiti, trapped coal miners,and other images of dispair and hopelessnessservedup by the newsmedia. I've been working alongside singer/songwriter,CarollNesbitt Martin,for 25 years now. When he goes into 'record mode', it's usually'one(take) and done', I'm still amazed today, as I was in the beginning, at thecreative spontanuity that flows from his vocal chords. While he was in the vocalbooth, in Oklahoma City, not even he knew what would come next, as Jameson, theengineer, and I looked at each otherwith an unspoken WOW!, when he reached thepeak of the modulation.That's when Jameson responded with the comment, "IfMichael Jackson had recorded a Gospel Album, this is what it would soundlike."

May you be perpetually filled with the Holy Spirit.-Victor
