    Small, but a mansion in her eyes
    Eyes, eyes, mansion
    Never had much money
    Money
    But was filthy rich
    With the wealth you couldn't get from a dark casino
    Or a lottery ticket
    They had love
    Love, love
    Rich in love
    She had the complexion of
    The complexion of a sweet praline
    Hair long as the sea
    Heart warm like Louisiana sun
    Voice like a symphony
    Of the most beautiful instruments
    Whoa, beautiful
    At the age of sixteen
    Sixteen
    She found Christ at an altar
    All along he was calling her name
    The gospel spoken from an old wrinkly man

      I literally just saw that commercial for the first time about 2hrs ago. As soon as the song came on and I heard his voice I IMMEDIATELY grabbed my phone and used "Shazam" to find out who he was..I had to know! I'm sold already. I can not wait for his album to drop ❤

    One of my most favourite songs on sofar. Moving the time back to 2017 when I just gave birth and became a new mum. My husband slowly abandoned me, I was in a lot of pain. The background music of that period of time was this song, which I listened to a thousand times, which got me through countless heartbroken nights. His voice, the tune, the lyrics, just angels from heaven to help people in hardships. Now I'm a relatively stronger mother and woman. Thank you so much..
