(Make Me A) Stepping Stone
© Copyright 2014-25 R A Heller
I began writing this song during a church service in 2014. It took me years to write, won’t you take a look ? I finally got to a point where I was happy with the lyric toward the beginning of 2024 but just could not settle down on a melody. In fact, I had no idea where to start. Until one day in 2025 I was practicing the piano and just started playing this chord progression / piano accompaniment. Today, 9/17/2025 I am finally happy with the result and it is, for all intents and purposes, finished.
I would like to dedicate this song to three people I know who exemplify what this song is about. First, my long time friend Cliff Silverthorne in Burnaby, B.C., secondly, Pastor Greg Garman, who dedicated his life to serving in various roles in the church and who passed away July 25th of 2025.
Lastly, I would like to dedicate this song to a man I did not know but whose life exemplifies the lyrics whose impact on the future is going to be immense because of his faithfulness and the courage of his faith, Mr. Charlie Kirk. Charlie was assassinated for his faith on September 10th 2025.
This is a computer playing the song. When I have the opportunity I will get a recording made.
