5. He Said (Featuring Group 1 Crew)
Favorite Lyrics- “So your life feels like it don’t make sense. And you think to yourself, I’m a good person. So why do these things keep happening? Why you gotta deal with them?

“The Truth” Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times? Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy seven times.”
4. 7 Times 70 Times
Favorite Lyrics-“I lost count of the ways you let me down. But no matter how many times you weren’t around. I’m alright now. God picked up my heart and helped me through and shined a light on the one thing left to do and that’s forgive you. I forgive you.”
3. Center of It
Favorite Lyrics- “Some nights I lay awake and I can’t push these thoughts away. I’m worried where I’m gonna go. Where I’m gonna be, are you gonna be there for me. When it feels like the doors are closing. Gotta trust that you’re doing something. Come sun, come rainy day, you are all I need.”
