Should I Remind You - This song was written as a reminder for people to acknowledge God and to not take him for granted as we get so caught up in ourselves, our everyday schedule and lives. We live because he gave his life for us.

Story behind the song
I am one of those busy people who rips and runs all the time. One evening I slowed down and thought. Have I read my bible these last couple of weeks. When was the last time I fell on my knees in prayer? I realized that I was so busy and days had passed by quickly, and I hadn't even taken the time out at the end of each day to simply say, Thank you Lord, Jesus. I put myself in the Lord's place and imagined how he feels when he's made such a sacrifice for us all because he loves us dearly, but yet we forget that our lives aren't all about us, but all about him (The Lord), who gave us life.

Should I Remind You – Written and Arranged by Dierdra Stroud-Lee
Verse:
So busy are your days, not even time enough to say
Thank you Lord for you’ve brought me safety through
Time for friends and family, my word’s the last priority
You say goodnight but you haven’t thought of me
Chorus:
Should I remind you that I’m here
Keeping you safe from harm and fear
If you open your eyes you will see
That you live because of me
_____________Repeat this Section___________________
Bridge:
Nailed to the rugged cross
I bled, suffered and died
I paid the debt, an awful price
To give you everlasting life
Chorus:
Should I remind you that I’m here
Keeping you safe from harm and fear
If you open your eyes you will see
That you live because of me
Turnaround:
Start praising me, start praising me (4 times)

Should I remind you that I’m here
Keeping you safe from harm and fear
If you open your eyes you will see
That you live because of me
