History| Posted September 08, 2009
I absolutely love Matthew West's song "History" It is SO awesome... I was in youth choir and we sang it during our program. The lyrics touched me. They help you remember that Jesus has forgiven us of our sins and that we shouldn't despair... just ask Jesus for forgiveness
