This is one of my favorite songs across all genres. I don't actually listen to Gospel Music but I heard this once as a kid and it stuck with me. I swear you can "feel" them singing. Something special about them being related and harmonizing like that. Mattie Moss Clark is their mom and she legit birthed an instrument split in pieces. I'm also not a huge fan of the Braxtons except for Toni but she and her sisters have a similar affect. Their harmonies are so pretty and seem more special because they're sisters IMO.
