BISHOP RICHARD "MR. CLEAN" WHITE!

[dymdyva]

2:39 && 3:50 I'm done. SANG MOTHER !!!!!

[love4myclarks7]

This is really encouraging. It's song like these that get you through.

I can appreciate the songs of today and their big production, but all it takes for me is some Real saints voices- a piano, some stomping, and most of all the Holy Spirit and you can expect God to inhabit IN your tough situation. It takes a humble heart and a try reception of God's love in order to really appreciate something like this.

[8315dbird]

No matter how many times I listen to this it just stirs me up on the inside bless u for posting this man..Yes Lord He's able!!!!!
