Behind the song, “Meetin’ My Maker”

by Chris on December 13, 2011

“Meeting My Maker” was a product of my co-write with Lee Black and Wendy Wills.  It took us two different writing sessions to get it the way we wanted.  In fact, the sessions were about a month apart, so it sat dormant for a while…  At the second writing session, I actually had another writing appointment, so I left before it was completed.  Lee & Wendy have to take the credit for an amazing bridge and final chorus.  They brought it to completion.

I personally love the outdoors.  After just getting back from a father/son weekend that included camping and hunting, it really made me think about this song.  It basically talks about a gentlemen that spent many Sundays out in the woods and would “meet his Maker” there.  He found God, not in a church building, but in the wilderness.  I might start repeating myself, but this really is one of my favorites on the project.
