Tyler Hayes Records "Joey's Song" to Encourage Joey + Rory Feek

Tyler Hayes, a fan of country and Christian duo Joey + Rory, penned and recorded "Joey's Song."  Through the song, Hayes hopes to bring some joy and hope to Joey Feek. Joey Feek had contracted Stage IV cervical cancer.  After one round of chemo and radiation, the doctors have discovered that the cancer has spread.  The couple have decided not to pursue more treatments.  They have returned home to live.   

On Facebook, Hayes says that he wants the tune "to be a reminder that no matter what happens to Joey in the upcoming weeks, she will NEVER leave her family and those who care about her most."

Hayes recorded "Joey's Song" at Franklin, Tenn.'s Dark Horse Studio after writing it "in about eight minutes." The song is available for download on iTunes, with all of the proceeds going to a charity of Joey Feek's choice. 

"No words could ever appropriately describe what Joey Feek and her family are currently going through. I know if I was standing in front of her right now I would be at a loss for words," Hayes writes. "... I hope this song has a chance to bring comfort and peace to her and her family."

"I'm not gonna leave you / Lost and lonely / I hope it makes your heart smile / When you think about me / I'll be right beside you / As you go about your day / And if you ever need me / I'll be just a prayer away," the song goes. "So please don't think that we're through / Because I'm not gonna leave you."

The Feeks, on the other hand, are not giving up.  Come Valentine's Day, they will be releasing a new Christian hymns album enttled Hymns that Are Important to Us, the collection will find Joey and Rory singing their favorite hymns such as "Amazing Grace," "Softly and Tenderly" and "In the Garden."  The album will be released via Gaither Music.
