Dedication

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

(Psalm 89:1)

 

To my best loved gospel music legend. You know who you are, and you need no introduction. Long before I finally met you live and In Living Color, the powerful lyrics you wrote and sang somehow always took me Back to the Cross and blessed me beyond measure. Even if I had Never Seen Your Face, I’m convinced that your music would still be a melody that I would not only Love Like Crazy, but it would be music for which I’d still possess this same level of Crazy Like Love that I have today.

After years of only knowing you as an anointed voice, a messenger of hope, and a minister of song, I feel blessed to now also define you as a faithful supporter and a cherished friend. Thanks for five decades of groundbreaking, uplifting, soul-stirring, Spirit-filled, life-changing music. Thank you for sharing The Best Of you with the world.

After all these years, I’m glad that you’re Still Standing Tall.
