Efrem: THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR JOINING US FOR
CBN "NEWSWATCH."
I'M EFREM GRAHAM.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
HAS ANNOUNCED A SPECIAL
APPOINTMENT OF A SPECIAL
COUNCIL TO LEAD THE
INVESTIGATION OF POSSIBLE
RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE WITH
LAST YEAR'S ELECTION.
MARK MARTIN IS ON THIS
STORY.
Mark: FORMER F.B.I.
DIRECTODIRECTOR ROBE MUELLER'S
SENTENCE WAS MET ON BOTH
SIDE OF THE AISLE.
ROB ROSEENSTEIN SAID HE
WANTED SOMEONE TO, QUOTE,
"OVERSEE THE PREVIOUSLY
CONFIRMED F.B.I.
INVESTIGATION OF RUSSIAN
EFFORTS TO INFLUENCE THE
2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
AND RELATED MATTERS.
MY DECISION IS NOT A
FINDING THAT CRIMES HAVE
BEEN COMMITTED OR ANY
PROSECUTION IS WARRANTED.
WHAT I HAVE DETERMINED IS
BASED UPON THE UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES, THE PUBLIC
INTEREST REQUIRES ME TO
PLACE THIS INFORMATION
UNDER A PERSON WHO IS NOT
UNDER THE NORMAL CHAIN OF
COMMAND."
IN A STATEMENT, MUELLER
SAID, I ACCEPT THIS
RESPONSIBILITY AND WILL
DISCHARGE IT TO THE BEST
OF MY ABILITY.
WHATEVER INVESTIGATION
GOES ON, IT WILL HAVE THE
CREDIBILITY OF BOB
MUELLER, THE FORMER
DIRECTOR OF THE F.B.I.
Mark: PRESIDENT TRUMP
ALSO ISSUED A STATEMENT:
"AS I HAVE STATED MANY
TIMES, A THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION WILL CONFIRM
WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW:
THERE WAS NO COLLUSION
BETWEEN MY CAMPAIGN AND
ANY FOREIGN ENTITY."
DURING A WEDNESDAY
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS TO
THE UNITED STATES COAST
GUARD, THE PRESIDENT
BLASTED THE MEDIA.
President Trump: LOOK
AT THE WAY I HAVE BEEN
TREATED LATELY, ESPECIALLY
BY THE MEDIA.
NO POLITICIAN IN HISTORY
HAS BEEN TREATED WORSE OR
MORE UNFAIRLY.
Mark: THE APPOINTMENT
OF A SPECIAL COUNCIL COMES
AS TRUMP IS ABOUT TO
EMBARK ON HIS FIRST
OVERSEAS TRIP AS
PRESIDENT.
AND AMID REPORTS THAT THE
PRESIDENT HAS DECIDED
AGAINST MOVING THE U.S.
EMBASSY IN ISRAEL FROM TEL
AVIV TO JERUSALEM, AT
LEAST FOR NOW.
AND ALONG WITH HIS PLANS
FOR TAX REFORM AND
REPEALING AND REPLACING
OBAMACARE, THE RUSSIAN
INVESTIGATION COULD REMAIN
IN THE HEADLINES FOR SOME
TIME TO COME.
MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS.
Efrem: IT APPEARS THE
U.S. EMBASSY IN ISRAEL
WILL STAY IN TEL AVIV FOR
NOW.
A SENIOR WHITE HOUSE
OFFICIAL SAYS PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAS DECIDED NOT TO
IMMEDIATELY MOVE THE U.S.
EMBASSY FROM TEL AVIV TO
ISRAEL.
OFFICIALS TOLD CBN NEWS
THERE WERE NO PLANS TO
ANNOUNCE REGARDING THE
EMBASSY AT THIS TIME OR
DURING THE PRESIDENT'S
TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST,
ADDING THAT NO FINAL
DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.
LAST YEAR, BEFORE HE WAS
ELECTED PRESIDENT, DONALD
TRUMP SAID HE WOULD MOVE
THE U.S. EMBASSY TO
JERUSALEM, CALLING IT THE
ETERNAL CAPITAL TO
JERUSALEM.
> SENATOR MARCO RUBIO
INTRODUCED LEGISLATION TO
WOULD NAME ISRAEL'S
CAPITAL AS JERUSALEM.
THE BILL SPECIFICALLY
STATES: "IT SHOULD BE THE
POLICY OF THE UNITED
STATES TO RECOGNIZE
JERUSALEM AS THE UNDIVIDED
CAPITAL OF THE STATE OF
ISRAEL, BOTH DEJURE AND
DEFACTO, AND THE UNITED
STATES EMBASSY SHOULD BE
RELOCATED TO JERUSALEM."
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL
EMBARK ON HIS FIRST
FOREIGN TRIP THIS WEEKEND.
HE TRAVELS TO FOUR
COUNTRIES OVER EIGHT DAYS.
HIS FIRST STOP, SAUDI
ARABIA, WHERE HE IS
EXPECTED TO GIVE A MAJOR
SPEECH ON ISLAM.
GEORGE THOMAS HAS THE
DETAILS.
George: THEY WERE
WORDS FORMER PRESIDENT
BARACK OBAMA REFUSED TO
UTTER DURING HIS
EIGHT-YEAR PRESIDENCY:
RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
BUT NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP.
President Trump: WE
WILL REINFORCE OLD
ALLIANCES AND FORM NEW
ONES, AND UNITE THE
CIVILIZED WORLD AGAINST
RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM,
WHICH WE WILL ERADICATE
COMPLETELY FROM THE FACE
OF THE EARTH.
George: THIS WEEKEND
PRESIDENT TRUMP TAKES THAT
THE BIGGEST MONARCHY IN
THE WORLD.
HE WILL DELIVER AN
INSPIRING, YET DIRECT
SPEECH, ON THE NEED TO
CONFRONT RADICAL IDEOLOGY
AND THE PRESIDENT'S HOPES
FOR A PEACEFUL VISION OF
ISLAM TO DOMINANT ACROSS
THE WORLD.
George: TRUMP WILL
TAKE PART IN THE OPENING
OF A NEW CENTER IN SAUDI
ARABIA, AIMED AT PROMOTING
WHAT THE USE HOPES WILL BE
A MODERATE VERSION OF IS
ISLAM.
OUR MUSLIM FRIENDS,
INCLUDING SAUDI ARABIA,
ARE TAKING A FIRM STAND
AGAINST EXTREMISM AND
THOSE WHO USE A PERVERTED
INTERPRETATION OF RELIGION
TO ADVANCE THEIR CRIMINAL
AGENDAS.
George: AND THE
PRESIDENT IS ALSO EXPECTED
TO ADD PLANS OF GROUPS
THAT WOULD FIGHT THE
ISLAMIC TERROR GROUPS IN
THE REGION.
ONE OF THE GOALS ON
THIS TRIP IS FOR PRESIDENT
TRUMP THAT MOBILIZE A
COALITION, INCLUDING SAUDI
ARABIA, AGAINST ISIS AND
al-QAEDA AND IRAN.
George: JIM PHILLIPS
WITH THE HERITAGE
FOUNDATION SAYS THE
PRESIDENT MUST NOT SHY
AWAY FROM CONFRONTING THE
SAUDIS ON THEIR CLIMATE OF
RADICALIZATION.
IF HE OFFERS THE
PROSPECT OF GREATER
SECURITY OPERATION, VERSUS
IRAN, WHICH IS THEIR
GREATEST ENEMY, I THINK
THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO
TAKE MORE STEPS TO
CONFRONT THE ISLAMIC
RADICALS IN THEIR OWN
RANKS.
George: THE SAUDI
KING SAYS HE WANTS TO
FIGHT ISLAMIC EXTREMISM.
BUT THEY WORRY IF THE
GOVERNMENT CAN EFFECTIVELY
GO AFTER TERROR GROUPS
THAT POSE A THREAT TO THE
REGION AND THE UNITED
STATES AS WELL.
I THINK HE CAN BE
TRUSTED AGAINST IRAN
BECAUSE IRAN IS SAUDI
ARABIA'S ARCH RIVAL.
BUT SAUDI ARABIA STILL IS
LIKELY TO SUPPORT GROUPS
THAT ARE HOSTILE TO THE
U.S. AND TO ISRAEL.
George: FRANKLIN
GRAHAM, SON OF BILLY
GRAHAM, OFTEN SPEAKS OUT
AGAINST THE THREAT OF
RADICAL ISLAM.
HE SAYS PAST AMERICAN
PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN
RELUCTANT TO PRESSURE THE
SAUDIS BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC
PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN OUR
TWO COUNTRIES.
WE'VE HAD MANY
AMERICANS THERE WORKING
FOR YEARS IN OIL BUSINESS
AND SO FORTH.
BUT WE DON'T NEED THEIR
OIL.
WE HAVE ALL THE OIL IN
THIS COUNTRY THAT WE NEED.
WE DON'T NEED TO BE
KISSING UP TO THEM.
I THINK IT IS TIME WE HAVE
A PRESIDENT WHO WILL STAND
UP TO SAUDI ARABIA.
George: BUT GRAHAM
AND OTHERS ARE NOT HOLDING
THEIR BREATH.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL
ARRIVE BEARING GIFTS,
AMONG THEM, TENS OF
BILLIONS OF U.S. MILITARY
HARDWARE TO HELP THE
SAUDIS.
THEY SPEND A LOT OF
MONEY BUYING WEAPONS FROM
US.
WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO LOOK
THE OTHER WAY.
George: SAUDI
ARABIA'S KING SOLOMON IS
CALLING TRUMP'S UPCOMING
VISIT HISTORIC, AND HOPES
IT WILL ESTABLISH A NEW
PARTNERSHIP IN CONFRONTING
EXTREMISM AND TERRORISM.
AFTER SAUDI ARABIA, TRUMP
WILL GO ON TO ISRAEL AND
THEN THE VATICAN.
GEORGE THOMAS, CBN NEWS.
Efrem: CHELSEA
MANNING WAS RELEASED FROM
MILITARY PRISON YESTERDAY
AFTER SERVING SEVEN YEARS
FOR LEAKING CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.
SHE WAS FORMALLY KNOWN AS
BRADLEY MANNING AND WAS
CONVICTED IN 2013 OF
ESPIONAGE AND THEFT, AND
COMPUTER FRAUD.
SHE TOLD ABC NEWS SHE IS
LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT IS
AHEAD.
> A JURY IN TULSA,
OKLAHOMA, ACQUITTED A
POLICE OFFICER IN THE
SHOOTING OF AN UNARMED
BLACK MAN.
THE FAMILY OF THE MAN
BURST INTO TEARS.
SHELBY SAID SHE FIRED HER
WEAPON OUT OF FEAR BECAUSE
SHE SAID KRUTCHER DIDN'T
KNOW THE BASIC COMMANDS TO
LIE ON THE GROUND, AND AP
PERIOAPPEARED TO BE REACHING
INSIDE AN S.U.V. FOR AN
ARM.
KRUTCHER WAS UNARMED.
HOW THEY COULD COME TO
THAT CONCLUSION -- YOU DID
YOUR JOB, BUT I'M
WONDERING WHAT WERE YOU
THINKING ABOUT?
WE ALL KNOW IT IS A
DIFFICULT CASE, WE KNOW IT
IMPACTS OUR COMMUNITY, AND
YET HERE WE ARE, WE'RE
MOVING FORWARD.
TOMORROW I'M GOING TO GET
UP AND CONTINUE TO
PROSECUTE CASES, JUST LIKE
I DID THE DAY BEFORE.
Efrem: ABOUT 100
DEMONSTRATORS GATHERED
OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE TO
PROTEST THAT RULING.
> MORE AND MORE
AMERICANS NOW VIEW THE
BIBLE AS A FICTIONAL BOOK
AND NOT AS THE LITERAL
WORD OF GOD.
THAT IS ACCORDING TO A NEW
GALLOP SURVEY.
THE REPORT REVEALS 26% OF
AMERICANS NOW SAY THE
BIBLE IS, QUOTE, "A BOOK
OF FABLES, LEGENDS,
HISTORY AND MORAL RESEPS PRECEPS
REPORTED BY MAN."
AND ONLY 24% OF AMERICANS
BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS THE
ACTUAL WORD OF GOD AND
SHOULD BE TAKEN LITERALLY.
> STILL TO COME HERE ON
CBCBN "NEWSWATCH," SHE WAS
THE CANDIDATE TO BEAT, BUT
HER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
WAS PLAGUED WITH CONFUSION
AND CHAOS.
WE GIVE YOU AN INSIDE LOOK
AT HILLARY CLINTON'S RUN
AND THE SHOCKING ELECTION.
Efrem: TO MANY
PEOPLE'S SURPRISE, HILLARY
CLINTON LOST THE 2016
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
A NEW EXPOSE DESCRIBES
WHAT COULD HAVE GONE
WRONG.
JENNA BROWDER TALKED WITH
ONE OF THE AUTHORS OF
"HILLARY CLINTON,
SHATTERED."
Reporter: THERE WAS
ANOTHER REVEALING MOMENT
WHEN HILLARY SAYS, "I
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH THIS
COUNTRY.
I CAN'T GET MY ARMS AROUND
IT."
THAT REALLY HITS IT ON THE
HEAD.
I KNOW.
IT IS ALMOST LIKE YOU
COULD JUST READ THAT AND
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
Reporter: A CAMPAIGN
PLAGUED BY CONFUSION AND
CHAOS.
SHE HAD LOST IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE TO BERNIE
SANDERS BY 22 POINTS.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE
NOMINEE OF A MAJOR PARTY
FOR PRESIDENT, LOSING A
PRIMENARY STATE BY 22
POINTS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD.
Reporter: THIS WOULD
BECOME A THEME FOR HILLARY
CLINTON'S 2016
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
IN THEIR NEW BOOK, THEY
LAY OUT IN COMPELLING
DETAIL WHAT WENT WRONG.
IT ALL BEGAN WITH
CLINTON'S INFAMOUS E-MAIL
SCANDAL.
IN THAT, SHE HAD
TROUBLE ARTICULATING THE
MESSAGE.
HER SPEECH WRITERS
COULDN'T DO IT FOR HER.
THEY NEEDED TO KNOW WHY
YOU, WHY NOW?
WHICH CAN IS THE QUESTION
ANY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
MUST BE ABLE TO ANSWER.
Reporter: HE
REMEMBERS A FORMER OBAMA
SPEECH WRITER BASICALLY
QUITTING BEFORE THE
CAMPAIGN GOT OFF THE
GROUND.
HE SAID, I CAN'T DO
THIS.
THERE IS NO REAL PLAN HERE
OR ORGANIZATION OF THE
GROUP, AND THE SPEECH IS
LACKLUSTER.
Reporter: AND THERE
WAS HEAVY IN-FIGHTING
BETWEEN SENIOR STAFF
MEMBERS.
ALLEN DESCRIBES HOW IT
PUSHED DATA AND A ANALLYKS.
IN RUIN JUNE OF 2016, HE
SAYS, ROBBIE IS
PASSIVE/AGGRESSIVE, AND
I'M JUST AGGRESSIVE.
AND THERE HE IS EXPLAINING
THIS TREMENDOUS TENSION
BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM
THE ENTIRE TIME.
Reporter: THESE
REVEALING MOMENTS SEEM
ALMOST NON-STOP, WITH SOME
OF THE MOST SHOCKING
UNFOLDING ON ELECTION
NIGHT.
ALLEN WRITES ABOUT THE
RELUCTANCE TO CONCEDE, AND
THE MOMENT HILLARY KNEW IT
WAS OVER AND HAD TO TAKE
THAT DREADED PHONE CALL.
AND HUMA ABEDIN COMES
UP TO HER AND SAYS, IT IS
THE PRESIDENT.
AND HILLARY CLINTON
VISIBLY RECOILS AND
WINCES.
IT IS THE MOMENT OF
REALITY WHERE THE
PRESIDENT IS CALLING THE
LOSING CANDIDATE AS A
CONSOLATION.
AND IT HITS HER.
SHE HAS LET HERSELF DOWN.
SHE HAS LET HER PARTY
DOWN.
SHE THINKS SHE HAS LET THE
PARTY DOWN, AND SHE THINKS
SHE HAS LET BARACK OBAMA
AND HIS LEGACY DOWN.
SHE TAKES THE PHONE AND
WALKS TOWARDS ANOTHER
ROOM, AND SAYS,
MR. PRESIDENT, I'M SORRY.
Reporter: A CRUSHING
MOMENT FOR A WOMAN WHO HAD
EFFECTIVELY BEEN PURSUING
THE WHITE HOUSE FOR A
DECADE.
ALLEN SAYS MANY THINGS
CONTRIBUTED TO HER
SHATTERING DEFEAT, BUT AT
THE END OF THE DAY, SHE
HAD NO ONE TO BLAME BUT
HERSELF.
IT IS A MUCH BIGGER
STORY THAN JIM COM JAMES COMEY OR
THE MEDIA.
IT WAS A PERFECT STORM.
AND THAT PERFECT STORM WAS
SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS.
Efrem: UP NEXT, WE
HEAR FROM CHRIS KILALA ON
HOW HIS FAITH GOT HIM
THROUGH.
STAY WITH US.
IT IS A STORY YOU WON'T
WANT TO MISS.
Efrem: THE OUTCRY
TOUR IS A WORSHIP CONCERT
THAT IS MAKING ITS WAY
ACROSS THE NATION.
IT INCLUDES "JESUS
CULTURE."
I HAD A CHANCE TO SIT DOWN
WITH CHRIS KILALA, AND HE
SHARED HOW WORSHIP GOT HIM
THROUGH ONE OF THE
TOUGHEST TIMES IN HIS
LIFE.
*
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS
TOUR IS THAT IT REALLY
CELEBRATES THE LOCAL
CHURCHES.
*
THE CHURCH IS FULL OF
HOPE AND LIFE AND IT IS
BEAUTIFUL.
AND WHEN WE COME TOGETHER
AND SET ASIDE OUR
DIFFERENCES, YOU KNOW, GOD
SHOWS UP AND DOES AMAZING
THINGS.
Efrem: YOU'RE A
CHURCH LEADER YOURSELF, AS
A LEADER, DOES IT BECOME
DAUNTING AND OVERWHELMING?
I WOULD BE LYING IF I
SAID I DIDN'T FIND IT
CHALLENGING.
I THINK THE IMPORTANT
THING IS NOT TO COMPARE
YOURSELF TO OTHER
CHURCHES.
KNOW THAT WHAT GOD IS
PUTTING IN FRONT OF YOU,
HE IS PUTTING IN FRONT OF
YOU FOR A REASON, BECAUSE
HE TRUSTS YOU WITH IT.
ALL OF THESE AMAZING
CHURCHES AROUND THE
WORLD -- WE SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGED AND INSPIRED BY
ALL OF THEM.
IT IS REALLY REFRESHING.
*
Efrem: WHY IS IT
IMPORTANT TO HAVE A TOUR
THAT CELEBRATES THE LOCAL
CHURCH LIKE THIS?
THE AMAZING THING I
LOVE ABOUT THE LOCAL
CHURCH IS IT REALLY KEEPS
YOU GROUNDED.
IT IS FUN TO GO OUT AND
SEE WHAT GOD DOES.
EVERYBODY IS SO EXCITEDED
AT CONFERENCES.
THE ACTUALLY BUILDING, DAY
IN AND DAY OUT, A LOCAL
COMMUNITY, IT IS VERY
REWARDING, TO SEE THE
CHANGE AND THE GROWTH.
AND FOR ME, BEING THE
WORSHIP PASTOR, SEEING
PEOPLE EXPERIENCE LEVELS
OF FREEDOM AND WORSHIP.
Efrem: I KNOW YOU
GREW UP GOING TO CHURCH
WITH YOUR PARENTS, BUT
WHEN DID IT BECOME REAL
FOR YOU?
FOR ME IT WAS AT A
YOUTH CAMP, WHEN I WAS 14.
I REMEMBER LIFTING MY
HANDS IN WORSHIP, WHICH IS
OBVIOUSLY A SIGN OF
SURRENDER, AND FOR ME THAT
WAS A LIFE-CHANGING
MOMENT.
THE CHURCH IS A PLACE
WHERE I ALWAYS FELT THAT
SAFETY, TO COME AND BRING
MYSELF, COME WITH MY
BURDENS OR MY CARES OR
WHATEVER IT IS AS A YOUNG
BOY, BUT JUST WHERE I
COULD COME BE MYSELF AND
EXPRESS MY HEART TO GOD.
Efrem: YOU'VE BEEN
WITH "JESUS CULTURE" SINCE
THE VERY BEGINNING, AND
DONE AT LEAST 13 LIVE
RECORDINGS, FROM WHAT I'VE
LED.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST
CHANGE OVER THE 13 YEARS.
THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE
RECENTLY IS RECORDING --
WE USED TO RECORD AT
CONFERENCES, AND RECORDING
AT A LOCAL CHURCH BECAUSE
NOW THESE SONGS FEEL LIKE
THEY'RE PART OF THE
COMMUNITY AND WHAT GOD IS
DOING.
OUR FIRST LIVE RECORDING
AT A CHURCH WAS "LET IT
ECHO."
AND WE SAID, THESE ARE
YOUR SONGS, TOO.
*
THESE ARE SHARED
VICTORIES, THINGS WE LEARN
FROM PAIN AND STRUGGLE
THAT WE WALK THROUGH
TOGETHER AS A CHURCH.
AND THESE ARE THE SONGS
THAT CAME OUT OF IT.
*
Efrem: WHAT
EXPERIENCES BIRTHED THAT
ALBUM FOR YOU?
MY WIFE AND I, WE LOST
OUR SON JETHRO.
HE WAS STILLBORN IN 2014.
EVEN IN THAT HOSPITAL
ROOM, WE WERE PRAYING THAT
GOD WOULD BREATHE LIFE
INTO HIM.
AND WE DIDN'T SEE THAT.
BUT WE HAD TO MAKE A
CHOICE.
WE'RE GOING TO CHOOSE TO
BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GOOD,
THAT GOD IS OUR HEALER.
AND FOR ME, WRITING SONGS
WAS A WAY FOR ME TO REMIND
MYSELF THAT GOD IS -- I
WROTE A SONG CALLED
"MIRACLES," AND IT IS JUST
ABOUT THAT MIRACLE-WORKING
POWER OF GOD.
* YOUR LIFE IS FLOWING
THROUGH MY VEINS *
* I BELIEVE IN YOU
* I BELIEVE IN YOU
AND A LOT OF THOSE
SONGS CAME OUT OF THAT
PLACE, ENCOUNTERING GOD IN
THE MIDST OF PAIN AND
DOING MY BEST WITH THE
SKILLS I HAVE TO KEEP
THOSE TRUTHS IN FRONT OF
ME, THAT GOD IS GOOD, THAT
GOD IS FAITHFUL.
Efrem: YOU TALKED
ABOUT THE PAIN THAT YOU
EXPERIENCED.
HOW WOULD YOU ADVICE
PEOPLE TO WORSHIP THROUGH
PAIN?
FOR US, THE LOSS OF OUR
SON -- I REMEMBER OUR
PASTOR TELLING US, WHICH
IN THE MOMENT SPOKE
VOLUMES TO ME.
HE SAID, YOU CAN TRUST GOD
WITH THE MYSTERY.
IN THE MIDDLE OF PAIN, NO
MATTER WHAT ANYBODY IS
GOING THROUGH, THERE ARE
ALWAYS QUESTIONS, AND YOU
MAY NEVER GET ANSWERS.
IT TAKES FAITH TO SAY,
GOD, I DON'T UNDERSTAND,
BUT I TRUST YOU.
*
* I BELIEVE IN YOU
*
EVEN AT MY SON'S
MEMORIAL, TO STIR THAT UP
TOOK EVERYTHING WITHIN ME,
BUT I THINK BECAUSE WE
MADE THAT CHOICE, IT KEPT
OUR HEARTS SOFT TOWARDS
GOD.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE
GOING THROUGH, IF YOU CAN
JUST TRUST GOD AND KNOW HE
IS WORKING FOR YOU AND NOT
AGAINST YOU, AND KEEP THAT
PERSPECTIVE, HE REALLY
MEET YOU RIGHT WHERE
YOU'RE AT.
* I BELIEVE IN YOU
* I BELIEVE IN YOU
* I BELIEVE IN YOU
Efrem: WORSHIP IS A
CHOICE.
