He’s Got You was
written by my friend, Quincy Roan. Quincy initially wrote He’s Got
You as part of a songwriting challenge that he was participating in.
There was no real story behind the song at the time. Several weeks
later, Quincy decided to record a full CD of his original songs,
including He’s Got You. He asked me to help him with the
production, recording, and mixing of his project.
About two weeks
before our planned recording start date, Quincy was diagnosed with a
very aggressive and widespread form of cancer, with a grim prognosis.
A couple of months later, while Quincy was undergoing chemo, some of
his friends and I put together a benefit with the purpose of raising
support to help with Quincy’s medical expenses. We did a worship
night and also played three of Quincy’s original songs including
He’s Got You, which my wife Jennifer sang.
Somebody who was
there recorded the event and sent a copy to Quincy. When Quincy and
I spoke, he couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved the way
Jennifer sang He’s Got You. He said that the song was perfect for
her and that she absolutely poured her heart and soul into it.
So a few weeks
later, when Quincy passed away at the age of 37, Jennifer sort of
inherited the song. At least as the one who would sing it on the
recording. Of course, at this point, He’s Got You had taken on a
much deeper and more personal meaning. It had become Quincy’s
story. It had become his family’s story. And then, when my family
went through a very difficult season, it became our story. He’s
Got You became a song that encouraged us through some extremely dark
and difficult times.

I hope you enjoy
He’s Got You. If you are going through a difficult season, I hope
and pray that He’s Got You will be an encouragement. Thanks and
God bless.
