Behind the Song: The Family of God
The Family of God is a song that I grew up singing in church and is ingrained on my heart
The Family of God is a chorus by Bill and Gloria Gaither discussing how we are part of the family of God.
Gloria Gaither shares the story in her book Something Beautiful.
On Good Friday, the family was preparing for Easter when they received a phone call that a dear friend, Ron Garner, had been in a garage explosion and was badly burned.
The family came together for prayer for Ron and his family, who was not expected to live.
The pastor reminded them that they were going to thank God and continue to pray because they were part of the family of God.
That afternoon, once they returned home, the Gaither’s wrote the praise song The Family of God.
Ron survived and God worked many miracles in his life and family.
