In today’s world, this song is like a powerful pillar of light into so much chaos and confusion. I don’t have any words to describe the goodness this composition brings to me. I have been completely bedridden and isolated for more than seven years. This song helps me feel connected to God. I loved hearing you and your friend sing the song. Well done!!

I feel like at any moment a movie producer will be like, "Hey, you do great work. How about you write some music for the screenplay we're working on. Here is the director, the actors, this is the plot, so you make us music that feels authentic to the story."
    Seriously, if I have to eat my words after my very vocal prediction 4 years back, I'll be pretty upset. You do great work, sir, and keep it up!

    Christopher, my 2.5 year old son is truly your biggest fan (who still sleeps in a crib) and he was OVERJOYED to see you performing his favorite song of all time. He ranks this version at the top of the many he listens to daily. He drives us a bit batty singing it nearly non-stop every day, but he couldn't have picked a more lovely song to obsess over in his formative years. Thank you for all the joy you have brought to his life. I would love to send you a short clip of him belting out his own take on the song. Website email the best way? Instagram?
