"Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" was written in Randall's home of Ringgold, Ga. A.J. Showalter had been sent the words and while visiting the Old Stone Church between services, he penned the music at the Magill Family home, and then performed it with the congregation in that evening service.

"This song is so much a part of our heritage. I have incorporated it in my performing in various forms. Giving it this classic feel touched so many of my friends and family back home." Randall Franks
