"OUR GOD REIGNS": Jamie Kimmett gives thanks after surviving crash with 18-wheeler

Christian artist Jamie Kimmett is praising God after he miraculously survived a horrific-looking car crash last week.

The Scottish-born singer-songwriter who now calls the U.S.A. home was returning from a concert in Arkansas when he was struck by a semi. Kimmett was thrown from the vehicle and was airlifted to hospital. 

Looking at pictures of his destroyed car you wouldn't be blamed for thinking he most likely passed away or was left with life-changing injures. However, Kimmett has now returned home with minimal injuries.

"PRAISE GOD!! HE HAS SPARED MY LIFE BY A MIRACLE!" Kimmett writes in all-caps in a post on his Facebook page Tuesday.

"So grateful to be alive and so grateful for every one of you who have prayed for me, sent messages, left comments and donated at this time. Your kindness and support is overwhelming! I am now at home and miraculously have zero broken bones or internal damage!"

Kimmett says that he is dealing "with painful cuts, bruising, stitches, muscle/joint pain and still picking glass & concrete off my head and body…but given the odds of survival this is truly amazing."

Prayer requests

Kimmett has asked for prayer as he recoveries from his injuries. "Please pray my left hand and thumb (guitar chord hand) in particular will heal as it's badly cut and stitched up."

A GoFundMe was set up by Kimmett's manager. The singer does not have medical insurance for the U.S.A. So far the fund has raised $36,000 USD. Kimmett says his first medical bill has already arrived for $27,833.98

"This is the initial hospital cost and does not include the physician, helicopter airlift and other expenses so your amazing generosity to the GoFundMe is greatly appreciated. I can’t thank you all enough," he says.

Kimmett says he'll likely be pretty quiet on social media while he rests but he wanted to make a post "to say a massive thank you to you all. I guess God is not done with me yet 😭 🙌 OUR GOD REIGNS!"

Kimmett closed his post by quoting Psalm 121:7-8, which says, “The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
