Amazing! When I watch you song one of my favorite songs, I feel like I am behind a shield, and this world cannot touch me. Thank God for you and you’re voice. One can only hope to know you. Thank you!
I can't stop listening to your cover. Your voice is so powerful and the way you put everything into your words touches me like no other version. I'm a 52 year old brain surgery survivor and currently experiencing some difficulties. Your version keeps me going. The ending note that you changed on "them" is perfect, comforting and carries more meaning than I think most realize.....Thank you! ~V
