This song I had not heard for years...and one night as I slept...it came in my spirit...when I whole up early hours of the morning...I did not even remember it's title...but I just Google d...and there it was...how wonderful it is to listen to it and worship...I'm in tears as I speak...not because all is well...but because God is in Control...✌ and I'm grateful of His love.❤
