    You are taking this country on a journey of gentility, humility and kindness. I think a lot of people who do not understand your devotion are are learning how your gift is a blessing to the world. You are a light in the darkness.

    Iam, thank you for introducing me to this beautiful song. I had never heard it before a few weeks ago when I saw you and your dad share it here. Now it's part of my Sunday playlist. I've really grown to love it. You and your dad sound amazing together. I hope Brother Otuafi submitted this song to be put in the new hymnbook.
