Dear Peterson family, Thank you so much for composing this wonderful version of these two songs, and sharing them with us. You each sing and play so beautifully, and the joy you have in Jesus shines through your countenances. What a beautiful testimony of God's loving-kindness. Here in 2020 the world needs these songs more than ever. God bless each one of you, and thank you SO much, Lord, for bringing me to the Peterson's. Amen.
