One thing to think about when writing or performing gospel worship music is that often times “less is more”. The lyrics to this song couldn’t be simpler yet, the POWER behind it’s meaning has an undeniable impact in both the gospel and secular audience. AND ALL THAT WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE LYRICS….as the strident gum commercial says, chew on that!
Our Praise and Worship Team did this song on Sunday rather spontaneously, (read: we never rehearsed it), but even the snippet we used to minister was enough to bring half the church to tears, starting with our alto section!
The version above is when the songwriter, Marvin Sapp, performed it live at the BET awards 2008. Breathtaking to see how even the hippest of the Hip-Hoppers can’t help but nod in agreement to the simple yet powerful truth of the message.
Enjoy!
