Takes me back to 2008, alot has happened in that year that I will always be grateful for, "that salvation is through grace alone, through faith, which is God's gift, not from one's self, so that anyone could boast" Eph 2:8-9. Praise be to God, through the Lord Jesus Christ.

I woke up humming to this, tried the searching the lyrics but could not find it. I had to remember the name of the group through Hiding Place.
It has been a rollercoaster ride since I sang this song. A lot has happened. 2 little kids and a divorce later, You are still good to me.
