I've Got Some Good Saints Out There - That's Right - That Pray For Me Constantly. You've Gotta Have That! You Do.

I Feel So Blessed To Just Have Done What I Had Done. To Be Able To Just Use What God Has Given Me Is A Blessing. You Know, Never Mind The Grammys, Never Mind The Records, Never Mind All Of That. Just To Be Able To Sing.
