Here I Am - Daniel Baughman

Special thanks to my friend David for providing me with this unique and original recording about his son, Jesse, who had attempted suicide at age 17. During the time that he was in a coma, his mother, Janet Baughman, wrote both the lyrics and music to this song, which was recorded and sung by Daniel Baughman, Jesse's brother. A Spadecaller video.

This is no doubt one of the most sincerest videos I've watched yet. The music captures this tragedy so well. It's unfortunate and sad, but I know this beautiful song has brought a great deal of healing already. I'd love to share this with all my sincere and loving friends. Daniels voice is so heartfelt and pure, and I feel it deserves to be shared with others.  It may very well be a good message to someone in need. Peace and love, your friends....Mark and Noy

This is Jesus' call to all who are lost and hurting. He is the way, the light, and the truth. This song is my reminder to be the light for someone else who is hurting and lost this new year.

By the way, Jesse is doing very well these days. He's quadriplegic and gets around in a power chair, and he has grand mal seizures that set his progress back, but he is happy and loving and very concerned to help other suicidal people. Several young people have come to our home to tell Jesse that he has made a powerful difference in their lives, and some say he has actually saved their lives. Thank you to all who have shown care and support for Jesse and for his family. Shas

Sadly, few young people who take their lives get that second chance. More than likely a great many of them would, if they did, go on to have happy, fulfilling lives.

I had a nephew and a close friend take their lives since last Christmas, both in their 20's.

The thing about suicide is it leaves one feeling that if he'd known of the problems he might have been able to do something to help.

We need to do something to stop so many young people feel alienated and helpless.
