Amen, I love this song too It really lifts my spirits and reminds me to thank Jesus anytime the enemy tries to come at me. Perfect song to remind those who wanna have a pity party when they woke up this morning and that’s a blessing in itself. We got breath in our bodies! 💪😍😄Amen!

This was a good surprise. I never knew that Forrest, could sing. He is very good. Would love to hear more of him, and what can you say about Jennifer, that hasn't already been said. I've always said that I'm white on the outside but on the inside I'm black all the way thru. Love Gospel,Jazz, and soul music. Well hopefully Forrest will honor us with some more music one day. I, say if you got it,use it.

God's gifts are very powerful and all these people have them all of those people sang well but that little young blood tore the roof door and floor praise God off that church. I came from the streets in my youth and the way he sang that song. And that homeless man out attitude of gratitude is being thankful for just food clothes a place to stay and not being in prison or in trouble or just free from some crazy man that was trying to mess us up. We are very very grateful to Jesus for helping and saving we are grateful for what we got BUT WE ARE GOT BJT MORE GRATIFUL FOR WHAT WE ARE NOT And that's not being a fool for any thing or any body any more baby that's SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR AND THAT YOUNG BOY AND THAT HOMELESS MAN REALLY EXPRESSED THAT THRU SONG AND ONLY A PERSON FROM THE HOOD COULD FIEEL IT LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE ARE SURVIVORS PRAISE GOD

I am today more than ever. I live in Africa and South Africa to be country specific. Today African countries and South African Africans fight among themselves, kill innocent men, women and children for power, for politics, out of desperation, some go to bed hungry and food insecure, diseased, no religion or education, freedom and dignity to live in peace and harmony. I have so much to be grateful for in spite my challenging circumstances. I have life, good health, sound mind and heart and God. I am indeed Grateful to God for Loving me and protecting me during these troubling times.
