This is a song I wrote quite a few years ago. With the modern recording capabilities that we have now, I wanted to update it. Everything is from BIAB except for the lead and background vocals. The choir vocal is from BIAB. The song has some pretty serious content so I would ask you to listen prayerfully. God bless you all! Mike Wilhoit

Thanks, Dan! I appreciate the kind words. Like you, I'm trying to put the Good News in song. I will have a hard time knowing the styles I've used. I usually grab from several on each song. I bring them into Cakewalk by Bandlab and try to get the mix that brings the song to life. I've listened to a couple of your songs. Really well done!!!!! Mike

Thanks very much. I put some of the BIAB choir on the last chorus. I would love to hear a real choir singing on it. Thanks for listening and for your input. God bless you! Mike

What an excellent production!

Great vocal that is delivered convincingly.

You must have some good video software for the green screen.

I enjoyed the song!

Thanks very much. The video software is Vegas pro 18. Some of the videos don't turn out as good as that one but I'm getting a little better. God bless you! Mike

Mike,

A nice use of BIAB. A pleasant listen.

The video, though "simple", is impressive (green-screen-wise).

Welcome to the Showcase.

Hi Mike,
Great Song, all around! the lyrics are well-written and have real/heart felt meaning. Catchy hook, and the music suits it well. Also sung true sincerity. Truly a song that is needed in our time!
