LYRICS:
Desert places I've known
But I'm nearing the home shore
The redeemed are rejoicing
Heaven's angels are singing
I've come too far to look back
Look around, there's no happiness
There's no reason for living
Life will give you a broken dream
Filled with heartaches and fear
Turn around and don't look back again
Face the new day before you
Place your heartache in Jesus hand
He will mend broken dreams
I've come too far to look back again
There is nothing behind me
All the treasures I used to love
Have all faded from view
There's a new day ahead for me
All my heartache is over
For I left it at Calvary
Where my new life began
Heaven's angels are singing
I've come too far to look back - Hudba

Anyone still listening in 2024? ❤️🙌🏼
I am.
@@geraldhumphrey1600 God bless!
More so now than ever!!!
Me!!!!
Every day!!🙏🙏
I have just come through one of the hardest times of my life. I lost everything and was living hopelessly. Could not find a job, turned my back on God. But then God put me in a place where he could minister to me. At the breaking point everything turned around. I start a great job tomorrow, my life has turned again in the right direction. Never give up on God, he doesn’t give up on us. So this song is my life today. God brought me through it when EVERYONE had given up.
My mom past from cancer in 1996. Mom and Dad always enjoyed doing Gospel Cruises, and their favorite Gospel singers were The Hoppers. They went on a cruise sometime before 1995, but mom was very, very ill with her sickness. On her last cruise, The Hoppers were getting ready to sing, but mom had to go to the restroom. She was very nauseated and didn't think she could make it through the concert. Connie was in that restroom that day, and Connie stayed with her until she composed herself. Mom said she held her hand, wiped her face, and prayed for her. She was so loving and kind. This is who Connie Harper is. Showing Christ's love to the sick and downtrodden. Mom and dad have crossed over, as they have traveled too far to look back. THANK YOU MRS. CONNIE!
So true!!!!! Thank you Lord.Christ is my reason for Living may I be a light for him as this lady is
I lost my son jr 30yrs old Christmas day 2023. Buried him on December 30 2023, my birthday. My wife and I preached the Gospel at his funeral. This song is ministering to me.
so sorry fo your loss..
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying
So sorry for your loss. I will pray God's comfort and peace.
I lost my 29 year old son also. 😢 the pain never goes away but God thru his son Jesus Christ will give you the strength and peace
So true! Jesus mended so many broken dreams for me, helped me cross rivers, climb mountains. No, don't do it the world's way. Live for Jesus and find real life. We have come too far to look back, Saints. And He is coming soon! Look up!
I am going thru a very sad illness with my hubby of 56 years..He is beginning the end stage of dementia n he is soo mean.I listen to this wonderful song to help me cope
May God be with you Jenny ! Dementia robbed us of our mother, Helen. She was ill about 12 years before God called her home
I can relate to most of the terrible changes a victory of dementia goes through but not the "mean " aspect. God spared us that. May you find peace through your faith in Christ ! Hold on, I have a saying I will offer it to you, simple but true " The Lord will make a way " I can only pray " a way " comes soon. God Bless you !
Be encouraged and keep looking to the Lord for all of help. God bless you and your beloved husband
Every heart knows its own sorrow. Now comes a prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to encourage the disheartened and help the heart of the weak to go on with SWEET JESUS AT THE WHEEL because our contract with survival is brokered with sadness, fragility and anxiety.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
Praying for You Jenny Hodge, in Jesus Name Amen!!
So sorry to hear this. Check to see if there’s a support group that can help you. Saying a prayer.
Having been through Many adversities,losses,years of childhood abuse, debilitating health issues,I HAVE COME TOO FAR TO LOOK BACK AND JESUS HAS HELD MY HAND EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!OH WHAT A SAVIOUR!!HE IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS AND HE IS COMING SOON!! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!(JOHN 3:16)
I stumbled on Gaither Music several days ago and been watching and listening daily now for hours. All these beautiful voices worshiping God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit is such a blessing to me. It calms me warms my heart and soul. I used to go to church, then these world interfered and I strayed. I am now trying with all my strength to come back to the Lord and so is my wayward daughter. The road back is full of temptations and distractions. We need Jesus to guide us and never let us go. I repented, but I know it takes more to enter Gods Kingdom and be excepted.
His grace is sufficient for you
@@susansimon3393 Yes Susan, you are right. Thank you for reminding me. Have a blessed day.

I've come too far to look back again
There is nothing behind me
All the pleasures I used to love
Have all faded from view
There's a new day ahead for me
My heartache is over, you see
I left it at Calvary
Where my new life began
I've come too far to look back
My feet have walked through the valley
I've climbed mountains, crossed rivers
Desert places I've known
But I'm nearing the home shore
The redeemed are rejoicing
And heaven's angels are singing
I've come too far to look back
Look around, there's unhappiness
Some see no reason for living
Life will give you a broken dream
Full of heartache and fear
Turn around, don't look back again
Face the new day before you
Place your heartache in Jesus' hand
He will mend broken dreams
I've come too far to look back
My feet have walked through the valley
And I've climbed mountains, crossed rivers
Desert places I've known
But I'm nearing the home shore
The redeemed are rejoicing
And heaven's angels are singing
I've come too far to look back
But I'm nearing the home shore
The redeemed are rejoicing
And heaven's angels are singing
I've come too far to look back
Too far to look back
So true,let's focus on Jesus and not look back
🙌
Everyone talks about Kim, and yes I love her singing (ESPECIALLY on "It's Shoutin Time in Heaven." But nobody ever seems to talk about the rest of the group. I love Connie's singing
I like Kim, of course, but Connie has a beautiful smooth alto voice, and she sounds amazing on the verses of this song!
Connie is great and so smooth
Connie is gorgeous and that voice, it's wonderful and so is Kim, Dean and Clyde. May God bless you. I love it so!!💗💗
Thank you Krista, I've always love Connie!! The whole group are wonderful!
You nice more crista thanks
All people need to hear the timeless message of this beautiful song. As this old world waxes worse and worse just as Jesus told us, we need Him more and more. Look up, Jesus said, as you see these things take place, for your redemption draws near! Mathew 24
I'm so inspired every night! It's a peace I get from this song!!! It helps me to sleep after the nightmare we've live through the last couple of years!!! Praise God!
That's my song. Love it. I have come to far. Served God 47 yrs. He came looking for me when I was 27 yrs old. He found me and I found him. Forever changed my life. Love you Lord.
I was 13 yo. I remembered it like yesterday and I'm 75 yo...my mother took me to church from the day I was born! She's with Jesus now. She has been for forty years! I still miss her! She was my rock and died too young!
Hi Sandra hope you're okay?
When I look at their faces, I see the love of Jesus!
I'm listening to my gospel songs . Now that Christmas is over. 12/28/22
I'm not in the best of health. But God is the power of all healing. I know this and I trust in my knowledge of knowing and claiming this. Today I'm fighting anxiety and dizzy spells. I'm not sure which one is causing the other. If anyone is out there listening to this ask for you to please pray 🙏 for me.
I'm here Ann Ward. I hear you. I'm praying for you right now.
I understand the torture of anxiety and I'm truly sorry you're experiencing it. I ask our heavenly Father right now, in the name of Jesus to free you from this dark pit and burden, and fill you with His peace, comfort and joy of the Holy Spirit. Please know, not too long ago, I was where you are...keep your eyes on Him, fill your home with uplifting, joyful praise music and know that I'll keep upholding you in prayer. You matter!! You are loved!
May 2023 be a joyous year for you. xo
“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ~ Numbers 6:24-26
God will take care of you. Stay bless
I love Connie taking the lead but I also love Kim in her lead.
Amen, Amen, Amen,!!!
Before my husband died I played him the song Jerusalem he really wanted to hear it . He went to be with Jesus on March 16. The hoppers are such a blessing.

Praying you feel the Lord’s love and care during this time.
Yes, a big portion of my sitting time is Gospel Music, I loved it all my life (87. Years) & it just dearer as I get older, 🎶👏❣️🙏
Love this song makes me think of where I could've been if I had not turn to my Lord Jesus.. it has been several years but unfortunately with some back sliding which I regret so very very much..when you begin to backslide you don't always realize that you are back sliding , but THank YOU JESUS for opening up my eyes and heart to make me see that I was moving backwards and not forward in my relationship with You Jesus ! May God help me never allow me to backslide again please Lord Jesus I need your strength everyday, every hour....please pray for my entire family so those that have chosen Jesus as their Lord and Savior will grow stronger in their faith and relationship with Jesus...and for my family members that have not asked Jesus into their lives and even those that do not acknowledge Jesus and refuse to believe that He exists ...please Lord Jesus if not I to help open their eyes please place someone in their lives who will do the planting.....Amen !
Amen. That's my prayer too, now more than ever and the backsliding issue.....so relateable. Please pray for me too.....
Thank you for saying what we all do. Backsliding happens to so many who are too embarrassed to admit it. Bless you.
Connie's expression at the end says it all!
Wow!! I don't listen to the Hoppers, but Beautiful!! My family use to sing this song when I was in highschool (I'm 57 now.) I just came out of terrible illness. I was sick for 26 years. God healed me here in 2022. He laid this song on my heart. So glad the Hoppers sing it...very anointed. Thank you
So great to hear how God healed you. Sending so much love your way ❤️
@@emilywerner3930 Thank you so much!
I love this family...there is nothing more beautiful than family serving God from generation to generation!
I so truly agree!!!
Look up!!! Heavens angels are singing. JESUS is coming! I'm not looking back..I'm looking for JESUS to step out on a cloud and take us out of here. Prayers for the lost that they may be saved before it is to late.
Love this song! 🎶 Amen!
I never get tired listening to this song. I love it with all my heart. May God bless
Hi Brenda hope you're okay?
I never get tired of hearing Connie sing this beautiful song! We've come too far to look back, the redeemed are rejoicing, Heaven's angels are singing!! Praise the Lord!
Such a wonderful testimony. Love all of your beautiful voices. It is obvious that you have pushed through the trials set before you; and came through them through your trust in our Lord and Savior. Mrs. Connie, your eyes sing with your voice. You are an amazing lady. Found peace with terminal illnesses listening to your music. If you beat the illnesses, so can I. But, if it be God's will, I will be walking on the roads in Jerusalem! Thank you for sharing your God-given talents!
Will pray for you.
Past tense of spell
Amen
That’s an anointed woman of God , I love to hear her sing ,I’m so thankful for her healing!
I really love this I wish they would come to pa more often do they have a set price to come or is it a love offering
Hi Kathy hope you're okay?

Praise the Lord 🙌🙌 I have come too far to look back . Lord help me to remain faithful to you and we all will make our calling an election sure before it is too late 🙏🙏

Connie you are a gorgeous lady. I can see Jesus in your beautiful face and also your wonderful family, a friend❤️❤️
All of heaven rejoices when a single sinner is saved.
I would like to have the copyright for I've Come Too Far. I turned 41 on February 17, 2009. A couple of days later, I heard a radio program talking about the number 41 being the number of new beginnings and how the 41st year of life would be a good year. Having just past that birthday, I sat down and wrote this song (February 19, 2009). I like this performance of I've Come Too Far by The Hoppers. These are the lyrics as I originally wrote them. I have known the Hopper family since 1983 and consider them to be friends.
Hi Charlotte hope you're okay?
Connie, what a beautiful lady and a lovely voice!!
Awesome
This is a talented Lady who is an inspiration for those who have struggled with cancer & other illnesses. God uses Them to speak Peace to those who are struggling. I love this song Connie has lived the lyrics. Thank you for sharing. Jesus will never leave us.
Connie is a absolute singer. Her voice is so soothing and with much 💗 compassion and just genuine... she is my favorite, so sincere..
An awesome group....love them...
Yes that's true💖
I do love kims voice but they are a perfect group..love them..but Kim adds that extra energy..only I could sing like her...
Hi Susan hope you're okay?
I sang this at my church...after completing a DivorceCare course. Such an annointed Beautiful song❤
Hi Yolanda hope you're okay?
Mama Connie is the glue of their sound. Such a great old time voice, with adaptable emotion to fit each song and even each venue. Having Kim "burst in: just after Connie's soft approach really worked !
I love to hear Connie sing. Smooth as butter!
She is the best...and they are awesome in person!
My 41st birthday was February 17, 2009. Two days later I heard a radio broadcast which talked about the number 41 being the number of new beginnings. So I wrote the song, figuring that the coming year would bring a fresh start for me as I struggled with recovery from mental illness.
I love to hear you sing wonderful songs of praise for our Lord and Savior. Thank you and God bless you all!
Hi Phyllis hope you're okay?
Life certainly can give you a broken dream. Thanks to Jesus for restoration
One of my all-time favorites by one of my very favorite groups. Praise the Lord Jesus!
This is a very moving song and the Hopper’s do an excellent job!
Nancy Harmon wrote this wonderful song. I love to hear her sing it, but also love to the Hopper's unique version. Love Connie and Kim.

2021 - Watching from Zambia. Yes Lord have come to far to look back.
I wrote I've Come Too Far on my 41st birthday. I heard a radio evangelist say that the number 41 is the number of new beginnings. And so I wrote this song 🎵 in faith believing that my coming year was going to be the beginning of another and better chapter of my life. I didn't care for Kim Hopper's interpretation of the song, but she is different since she is battling ALS.
I love this song. Connie really is talented. God bless the HOPPERS.
W
My favorite Gospels singers. Wow what a powerful anointing song. May God bless everyone through this song. I love the blessed Hoppers. Your songs have really touched my heart. Thank you ❤

My issue is I keep looking back instead of straight ahead Lord I need your guidance and more strength to even have a chance
I like this performance of I've Come Too Far by the Hoppers. This is from the Canadian Homecoming concert in Toronto in October of 2009. I wrote I've Come Too Far on my 41st birthday. Connie Hopper related to that song because she made significant changes in her life during her 41st year, including stopping smoking.
Love this song and the Hoppers do great This song helped me so much once I was in a dark place thank y’all so much for this song and being who you are! GOD IS DO GOOD!!!
I can’t keep my tears back when I hear this song! It keeps me going!
One step at a time creates a long road over the years. Thank God for the strength to get this far, and to "Walk On". God is our Strength and Refuge, keep walking with Him daily. ♪♫♥☺
Hi Canadian hope you're okay?
Amen, Praise The Lord Thank You Jesus!
Each of the Hoppers are an awesome talent. I love the blend of their beautiful voices. Job well done.
Hi Sandy hope you're okay?
What a beautiful reminder...keep pressing toward the mark, kingdom family! Love you, Hoppers!
During "Outside the wire" (OTW) convoy night missions from Balad (JBB) to Mosul (modern day Nineveh) via Irbil, this song with its powerful lyrics would keep me awake and alert throughout the long, dark Iraqi nights.. Thank you Lord Jesus for The Hoppers
Thank you for your service.
My happy place. Listening to beautiful Christian music that gives you so much hope for eternity.
I have lived this song. I am a pianist and singer and have sung it in churches. Thank God for Nancy Harmon writing this song. The Hoppers sing it beautifully.
Connie is one of the best ever
She is the definition of the word Classy lady
I was at this concert at the Air Canada Centre on Toronto. I was in the 70th row. Went mainly to see the buses as I drive one. Driver came out and said they were heading for Ingersoll. I said big deal it is only about an hour down the road. He said NO Ingersoll Indians…. Oh that’s different!
This would have been a nice one to be at in Toronto. I sure like the stage and concert format. The one thing that's different about Canadians and Bill said this at a Homecoming concert in Vancouver 16 years ago is that we like to sing and we sing along with all the songs. I don't have this DVD but there's probably audience participation on this one too. Singing choruses with 12,000 people in Vancouver and my Dad who is in heaven now was a great memory.
I love Connie’s voice
What a BEAUTIFUL voice Connie Hopper!!!
Amen! have come too far to look back keep me in your will Lord
I've come too far to look back again
there is nothing behind me
All the treasures i used to love
have all faded from me
there's a new day ahead for me
my heartache is over
i left it at Calvary
where my new life began...
Chorus
I've come too far to look back
my feet have walked through the valley
I've climbed mountains, crossed rivers
dessert places I've known
but I'm nearing the home shore
the redeemed are rejoicing
heaven's angels are singing
I've come too far to look back
Verse 2
look around there's no happiness
some say no reason for living
life will give you a broken dream
full of heartache and fear
turn around, don't look back again
face the new day before you
place your heartache in Jesus' hands
He will mend broken dreams

I sang this song as a special this past Sunday. I always pray over my songs asking God to use me thru my music. This touched 2 different people's hearts that were struggling. I did not know, but, God did. I have seen you in concert 4 times and pray I get to hear you many more times.
Absolutely beautiful. This family group are phenomenal. I enjoy all of their music. God bless and keep them.
