When you take an appraisal of events that have occurred this year, especially the Covid-19 pandemic and think of how you’ve survived despite the challenges faced, be it; financial crisis, job loss, family and health issues, deep within you know it can only be God that has kept you.
Although the song is gospel in nature, we know that God’s love is not tied to race, nationality, sex or individual preference. We believe non-gospel inclined folks can listen to the song and experience the power of God’s love, mercy, faithfulness and reciprocate same with thanksgiving.”
