"We are Amazed"
Ginger Millermon
music and lyrics by:
Ginger Millermon and Paul Marino

Lord, we are amazed
At the splendor or Your ways
Nothing can compare
To Your glory
Lord, we lift our hearts
And with our voices raised
We sing a song of praise to You

We are amazed
We love You, Jesus
We are amazed
We are amazed
We love You, Jesus
We are amazed

Lord, we are amazed
At the beauty of Your grace
And nothing can compare
To Your mercy
Lord, we stand in awe
At the wonder of it all
We sing a song of praise to You

Nothing can compare
Nothing can compare
Nothing can compare to You

Cover Letter

Ginger Millermon has been very busy the past few months even without a new single hitting radio. She wanted to catch her breath after the release of two consecutive Top 10 singles from her Amazed CD including “Your Majesty Is Everywhere” and “Speak Peace.” The New Year brought the release of a new book from Ginger entitled GRACE THUS FAR. It tells the moving story of her son, Jarrott’s, struggle to remain on this side of eternity. It takes the reader through the dark valleys Ginger and her husband, Joel, faced and the joy they experience today looking back on how amazing God’s grace has been “thus far.” The 700 Club was so moved by their story; they are sending a video crew to the Millermon’s home in Hutchinson, Kansas, to shoot a special segment for an upcoming program. And to cap it all of, Ginger and Joel have been in the process of adopting a child from India.

We can now add to this list the release of an incredible new single from Ginger Millermon…quite appropriately entitled “WE ARE AMAZED.”

“Our family has been through so much over the years,” shares Ginger. “Even now as we’re in the middle of adopting a little girl from India, I’m constantly amazed at the bigness and the greatness of God. Just when I think something is impossible and I’m tempted to give up, God shows His incredible power and His perfect timing. From sparing our son’s life as he was dying, to recently healing my mom of late stage cancer, and now allowing us to bring an orphaned child home to our family to love, there truly is nothing that can compare to Him. I continue to stand in awe of our amazing God!”

As you might guess, “We Are Amazed” is a wonderful song of praise and celebration. The message will resonate in the hearts of your listeners and the music will bring joy to their soul.

Give “We Are Amazed” from Ginger Millermon a listen today. We are going for your add THIS FRIDAY, June 6!

Biography

Ginger Millermon and her husband, Joel, were exhausted. They had watched, prayed, and waited for months on end as their infant twin son, Jarrott, fought for every breath. His lips would turn blue, his tiny chest would cave in…at times, it was all just too much to take. And now the doctors were about to come in and give them a prognosis.

“Mr. and Mrs. Millermon,” they said, “there is nothing else we can do. You need to let him go. Take him off the respirator and say goodbye. He will never have any quality of life. He will most likely have cerebral palsy—or worse-- even if he lives. This will be easier on you both, in the long run.”

Ginger had just one question. “Does his brain show activity?” she whispered. “Yes,” the doctors answered, “his brain activity is very high.” That’s all Ginger and Joel needed to know. “Then we’re not doing anything,” they said. “We’re not going to cut God’s hand short.”

Just over 10 years later, Ginger is putting the finishing touches on her new CD, AMAZED, produced by veteran songwriter/producer Paul Marino. The songs give voice to a journey that has been at times tumultuous; often exhausting; and incredibly humbling. From the soaring declaration of “Your Majesty Is Everywhere” to the bouncy “Find Forgiveness” to the simple “You Are Beautiful,” Ginger’s ten chaotic years of trying to be mother to three, and wondering if one will live, are poured out in every verse and melody.

But Ginger is telling different stories about Jarrott these days – how he just made the honor roll; how he’s only a year behind his twin brother Brennan in school; and (gulp) how girls are starting to notice him.

“The first four years of his life were so touch-and-go,” Ginger recalls. “He didn’t even speak a word until he was nearly five. There were times I would call 911 when he couldn’t breathe and I was so completely exhausted that I had no adrenalin left. I would just calmly and matter-of-factly give the operator details over the phone. I’m sure the 911 operator thought I was abnormal.”

These days, both Ginger and Jarrott breathe easier. Her twin boys, born at 29 weeks, have both survived and are thriving young tweens. But her family’s painful ordeal still resonates with people wherever she speaks or sings. And Ginger knows when she tells her story to women’s conferences and in concerts across the country that there are many people in the audience who didn’t get a “yes” answer from God, but instead got a “no.”

“In the midst of those worst moments, I admit I was hacked off at God,” she recalls. “There were days when I didn’t want to read the Bible or pray anymore. What good was it doing? My precious baby was suffering. And all I could do was watch. But I came to a place where I had to say to God, ‘Ok, if Romans 8:28 is true, and ALL things work together for good, then I’m going to trust you, God, regardless of the outcome.

“My husband’s brother had twins after we did,” Ginger recalls. “And they also had problems. We prayed for a miracle in their lives, but one of the babies died after three months. I look at their lives now and see that God was no less faithful in their circumstances than He was in ours. He has used that pain in their lives to minister healing to other families. God is still a God of hope, and He has a plan, even though it may not be what we desire.”

“Unto The Least” is a song especially close to Ginger’s heart. She and Joel became sponsors of children through World Vision back when Jarrott was still struggling to live, even though they “couldn’t rub two nickels together.” Three years ago, Ginger became a partner with World Vision and she and Joel went to the Domincan Republic to visit children in crisis there, and found another child they just had to sponsor. It is not surprising that Ginger is an outspoken advocate when it comes to the topic of Pro-Life.

“I watched my little boy fight every day for every breath he took,” says Ginger. “No one can tell me that a life – in any shape or form – is not precious. I used to be so demure and non-confrontational. But when it comes to children’s lives, I have become a relentless fighter.”

In the midst of her strength, there have been moments when Ginger grieved for the life she thought Jarrott would never have. “I remember standing on a street corner in Denver many years ago, and thinking ‘No one will ever love my son.’ The doctors kept saying he would not live a normal life, and I sobbed thinking he might not be able to get married or have kids of his own. But today, I found out some little girls in his class are already sending him notes!”

The CD’s title aptly sums up how the Millermons feel every day, regardless of what life hands them.

“Circumstances in life can change your perspective so suddenly,” says Ginger. “And we still deal with tough things. My mom was recently diagnosed with cancer. We’ve had other tragedies in our family. But I can say that if I had never walked this road with my son, I would have never experienced the depth of knowledge of God I have today. I have learned He is faithful even in the darkest moments of life. He truly does have a future and a hope as Jeremiah 29:11 says, even when I can’t see it. I am constantly amazed by His love and grace in my life.
