The inspiration for “Suzanna’s Song” if based on a true event. Suzanna is the daughter of Steve and Stefanie Coburn Fuller. Stefanie is featured on “Our Song.” You could say Suzanna is the reason Stefanie and I are sisters in ministry and life for that matter. When Stefanie was expecting, her water broke too early. The Lord compelled me to go and visit her while she was in the hospital. I didn't know Stefanie yet. I even wondered how God needed me to visit because Stefanie was already surrounded with family and friends. But as I say “God had a plan.” I was obedient and my life will never be the same. The Lord blessed me with a wonderful friend.
Forty days later Suzanna was born. Yes, she was premature, tiny, and fragile but she was healthy and God was faithful! I know it’s not my story but as a tribute to a God that “Still Makes a Way” and to other parents that have had rough times “Suzanna’s Song” was born. God still performs miracles and He is truly with us every step of the way.

(Verse 1) Lying here, wondering will, I ever see you smile. Will you make it just one more day? Jesus please be with this child.
Will you laugh? Will you play? Will you last just one more day? Lord please be near us in this hour, As I lie, alone and wait.
(Chorus) Oh Suzanna, please be strong with me. I praise the Lord with all my soul, Keep me near my God to thee.
(Verse 2) There’s a hope inside - Of me each day, As I wake once more to wait. Lord, I can’t help but to be so scared, What decisions must I make?
Will she hear? Can she cry? Lord please just give us more time. And I wonder more yet wonder still, As forty days go by.
(Bridge) And then I saw you - For the first time Suzanna! I will shout out Hallelujahs! Glory forever!
Yes! Lord you are so real to me! How great you are, Keeping us, In our time of need!
(Final Chorus) Oh Suzanna, I’m so glad for thee. I Praise the Lord with all my heart! I can bounce you on my knee.
(End Tag) Yes, I praise the Lord with all my soul. My God! How great - You How great You are!
