Popular Christian artist Forrest Frank may have broken his back, but that hasn't broken his spirit or will to write new songs.
Over the weekend, Forrest was playing with his son, Bodie, when he fell off his skateboard and fractured his L3 and L4 vertebrae.
"Thankful to God that it wasn’t any worse," said Frank. "I will be lying in bed for a while. Call me a weirdo, but through the pain, I was crying tears of joy in the ambulance…God is always working, and he’s never failed me!! This adventure just has some pain attached to it :) I’ll be lying in bed for the next however long, but the vibes are UP!"
On bed rest and with nothing else to do, Forrest wrote part of a song called "God's Got My Back." He posted a snippet of the song on social media, and it quickly went viral, leading Forrest to release the song in its entirety.
"Following God is kind of hilarious because I'm feeling thankful for my back breaking????" said Forrest in a post on social media. Just a few years ago, I was depressed and at the end of myself. Now I have 24/7 access to unspeakable joy in every circumstance. Drugs don't do this, money can't do this, nothing else, only Jesus."
"God's Got My Back" was written and recorded from Forrest's bed, and the full-length version can be found on YouTube.
