He's No Farther Than A Thought Away
Hi Everyone, This song is also streaming on Apple, Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, Deezer & others.
This song, which was originally written by Candi Staton @ 40 years ago, of which I perform a cover; is a nod to how whenever we just "THINK" on our God, just the "THOUGHT" of Who He is brings us comfort in knowing His Presence and Reassurance is right there with us.more
