When this album came out, all hell had broken loose in my life. My husband had just lost his job two months after the birth of our daughter.
I used to sing this song to God with tears streaming down my face, fasting and asking the Lord to not let my family and I sink. Ten years later and I am in awe of the many ways that my God continues to answer to all my prayers from back then. He gave me everything that this choir said He will give me, and much much more.
Back then, I was fasting in need. Today and right now, I am fasting to say thank you. Thank you Lord.
WHAT A WONDERFUL GOD WE SERVE. I LOVE YOU, LORD!
