[@livinlife2105]

I watched the gospel over and over. I barely remember the movie but this song!?!?!? Will NEVER be forgotten. Please never get rid of this PLEASE

[@Ionieex]

Praise God. I remember I was feeling so low a while ago, I used to pray in tears for peace, now God has given me peace greater than I could ever ask for and I am truthfully thankful.

@zz2g4e It's not meant to be an ensemble of black singers...the style of music we do is black gospel. :) We are all people of different races that love singing black gospel music! You're not the only one to think that though... I get that all of the time! Thanks for watching!

Peace like a river that flows everyday. God Gives Me Peace like a river that flows everyday. And it flows from the mountains and it flows to the valleys. And it flows from the mountains and it flows to the valleys. x4 I've found peace. Blessed peace. Joy everlasting. Yours for the asking. If you believe it. Then you will receive it. x4

FANTASTIC! What a great tribute to THE KING OF KINGS & THE LORD OF LORDS, these kids are such a blessing!

[@hollyforbes28]

Haha yes, it is. We were in rehearsal the night before the concert I think, and the sax player just started playing that goofing off... and the director thought it would sound kinda cool at the beginning of this song:)

[@jesshoward3603]

Yes!! Ha!

[@romefromthed]

And God said Haha yes, it is so… then there came light. Now we have this beautiful rendition of this song. 😀

@hollyforbes28 I applaud that comment! People think that just because it's black gospel, black people are supposed to sing! I am proud to say in our "black" gospel choir at UNC Charlotte, we have ourselves some members who are not black, and they fit in perfectly!! >_

[@hollyforbes28]
