My mom gets up every day at 3 am to talk to Jesus. I know that's it her prayers that have kept me going. My grandma taught my mom to talk to Jesus. A few weeks ago my grandma was diagnosed with cancer, last night my grandma was talking to Jesus and He told her He had healed her. All the pain is gone. We woke up at 3 am to talk to Jesus and thank Him. Please join me in thanking Him and making my grandma's miracle whole.

3 am every day to talk to a guy who's dead since more than 2000 years ? What's the point ? Death is our future and none of the imaginary friends will prevent us from dying, sorry to say...Good luck to your grandma.

Old white dude here and I gotta say Jac you did something that took some real courage. You covered perhaps the greatest song from the greatest artist of all time. I LOVED Sam Cooke. His voice was great of course but the lyrics in this song just MOVE me!!! Jac...you NAILED IT Bro! I got the same feeling I had when I first heard it. Bravo!!!

Sam Cooke changed the world with this one song,so powerful and moving one can't help but stop,listen and be totally emersed in it. There have been many covers all good but not quiet at Cooke's level until now that is. This is simply amazing! Cooke himself would have been proud to listen to his song so expertly delivered. 👌

This is a killer rendition of a classic track. Covered endlessly but this perhaps the first time its been done with true, true feeling so faithful and authentic to the original yet still managing to refresh it for 2022. Also the timing of the cover.... perfect. After the world's been through a pandemic and now watching the war in Ukraine. Thank you Jac... yeah, you nailed it alright.

Your voice is just dope, dope, dope. This song touched my soul. OMG, you performed so beautifully. This song will never lose its power, I listened to this song as I prayed, I cried through the whole song, thinking about the 19 children and teachers recently killed in school in Texas. The 10 blacks killed at the grocery store, a president that we just don't need at this time. This world is so full of pain, sorrow, hatred , and so much craziness, a change needs to come. Thank you so much for reminding us what Sam Cooke told us many years ago, that a, "Change gone come". 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@titanlaw6963]

Greetings from the UK, Mr. Ross. I particularly like the song “That River” as performed by yourself in the movie “9 Bullets”. This song by Diane Warren with your unique vocals is now my all time favourite, thank you. I’ve looked everywhere to purchase this one song and would ask you if and when it’ll be released so I can get a personal hard copy, (hopefully signed)😊 I believe that the soundtrack has not yet been released. That River, is an anthem and it reminds me of all the significant people that are no longer with us but we miss them so much that living without them is unbearable. I doubt I’ll hear a better version of this song in this lifetime. Thank you Mr. Ross for massaging my heart and soul and making me feel that ‘everything’s gonna be alright. This song gives you ‘hope’, the strength to move forward. And I will. “I may bend but I won’t break”. Thank you for this wonderful collaboration with yourself and Diane Warren, thank you 🙏🏾 Now I Can Breathe ✊🏾
