[@melanielewis7981]

Beautiful singing. The lyrics were written with authenticity. It sang about pure relationships and how each man, as well as woman need to treat each other. Additionally, the young men dressing was on point. No sagging. This is what is missing from this current generation. Decency and respect. No excessive profane language, no derogatory comments about either sex. As people we must remember that God created us in His image. Therefore, we must have that passions towards each other. Praying that those who read this know that the Heavenly Father loves us dearly but we most hone into what He has destined us to be and know it is not about us it is about Him always. Believe in His word and allow Him to guide you to His greatness. Amen!
