This testimony in this song sustained me in salvation in 2000 when my father gave up on us and was busy driving expensive Mercedes Benz and we were going hungry...... Men this world is corrupt.... But I thank Jesus for his unconditional love..... Now I see our preachers doing same stuff to churches with super jets and showing off cash..., Not complaining but that's the truth these days.....
