Songwriter Mike Westendorf, worship leader at St. Paul, Muskego, Wis., wrote a song for Christine Trettin right after he heard her story at church in April.
|
“I had gone to bed the night before, praying over and thinking about Christine and her testimony,” says Westendorf. “Woke up at about 6 a.m. with the bulk of the song written as I got up. . . . Songs don’t usually come that quickly for me, so it definitely was a focused inspiration.”

The congregation’s worship band debuted the song a week later so Christine could hear it via livestream. “I was actually directing the livestream . . . when they did the song live,” says Joel Trettin, Christine’s husband. “I had to sit down and just put my head in my hands and cry. So beautiful.”

While there’s breath in my lungs, let my life tell the story
|
|
Of the God of Amazing Grace.
|
|
When my breath is all gone, with no words left to say
|
I will run to your arms where my story was made
