What If It's True wraps up Maila's new album More. Makes me say gimme more! I'll be posting all the clips on one page soon in order to make it easier for new visitors to check out Maila's music and read the entire interview. Thanks for sticking around for the last song loyal bloggers!
Well we are just about done with this interview... just one more song...
What If It's True was actually something I had seen on TV in commercials the past year when New Hope was doing a media push. Whats the story behind the song and how it tied in with what New Hope was doing?
�
Maila:� Ben and his wife�Josie wrote this song.� He was given�the topic, "What If It's True," by Pastor�Wayne in congruence with�the�2000�New Hope�Easter�service.��Someone gave a great testimony about how he always wondered whether God was real or not.� After surviving�being robbed, shot,�and left to die, he actually heard the Lord confirm that his job on Earth was not yet finished.� The song tied in perfectly with the entire service.� Many people gave their hearts to Jesus that year.�The song was never intended�for recording, but because so many people were touched by it, there was a demand for it.� We recorded it shortly after�Easter and sold the single for just $5.00.��Inside, the liner notes offered an invitation to get to know Jesus.��The song was purely intended�for outreach�and ministry.� It's a special song.� Having it on my CD is more of an opportunity to reachpeople for Jesus.� ����

Posted by: Abigail at September 5, 2003 3:39 PMThis song is so awesome and truly does have a deeper meaning. I heard this song for the first time by a few students from Kamehameha School Kapalama Campus. They are in the Chapel Choir and came to Hilo to share what gifts God has given them...and they truly blessed me! Being from Hilo, I hope this song will touch many people as much or even more than it has touched me!
