My favorite song is clean Heart. Really once a rough time,
I was actually, you know, my family was falling apart,
and it was like holding water in my hands. I couldn't,
and I saw it the falling apart, and I asked
the Lord, how what was my posture on it? And
I asked him to give me a clean heart on
how to take it from here on out. You know,

(03:46):
maybe we won't make it this far, but we can
make it afterwards some kind of way. And I don't
want to be hiding money and trying to do all
this kind of stuff. Whenever she wants here, you go,
and I can help you better from a here them
right here. And so that when I wrote it, so
I was crying like a baby, and the family was
in the next room. They was my studio. I can

(04:06):
see him. They were just watching bacon, cookies and stuff,
and I knew it was falling apart, and I was
just with every word, I was just falling. Help me
have a clean heart towards this situation.
