God Gives Us Life And Takes Us

Gospel Music Was The Thing That Inspired Me As A Child Growing Up On A Cotton Farm, Where Work Was Drudgery And It Was So Hard That When I Was In The Field I Sang All The Time. Usually Gospel Songs Because They Lifted Me Up Above That Black Dirt.

When God Forgave Me, I Figured I'd Better Do It Too.

If You Have Political Convictions... Keep 'em To Yourself

I Recently Found Myself Going Through A Period Of Uncertainty About My Future As A Performer, My Status As A Personality, The Believability Of My Christian Witness And The Knowledge Of God's Will In My Life. I Felt A Force Bigger Than Myself Saying, 'lay Back. Take It Easy. Study Hard. Read Your Bible. Think, Write And Keep Your Mouth Shut For Awhile.'

Why Me, Lord? What Have I Ever Done To Deserve Even One Of The Blessings I've Known? Why Me, Lord? What Did I Ever Do That Was Worth Love From You And The Kindness You've Shown? Lord, Help Me, Jesus, I've Wasted It So. Help Me, Jesus. I Know What I Am. Now That I Know That I've Needed You So, Help Me, Jesus. My Soul's In Your Hand.
