Praise God! My siblings and l listened to Bob Fitts back in the early 90's enroute to church. It is indeed an awakening to have a fervency in our prayer life. God inhabits our praises so it will be foolish to turn away from Him. He is the Redeemer of the lost and hurting and He is faithful to give us His peace. Praise Him in your valley or in your mountain. He hears!

@evergreenbee

I have listened to Bob fitts since the 1990s and that same power in theses songs then and same even now. This song is so relevant in 2020 as we all cry out to God to hear us all as we pray....for mercy forgiveness and healing. He is faithful and will surely come and save us.
