Kirk is a fantastic producer and song writer..I love how he just allows his group to add flavor to his songs...Thank you, Kirk for letting God use you and your group to come up with great songs to enlighten us...this is one of many of my favorite songs, I can't get through it without crying..
What an experience...to view a studio taping with The Mr. Kirk Franklin. He's such an inspiration. I admire him keeping God at the center of his life / career. Hello Fear is a wonderful CD!
the tall guy speaking to Kirk in the studio with the blue caps is a brilliant dope pianist ....He is one of the guys that gives Kirk that killer band backgrounds when they play live ....i think his name is Shaun ....awesome ..awesome pianist
There is a powerful anointing when people are unified and on one accord. When egos and hidden agendas are cast out the door. These ladies sound EXACTLY alike and so do the fellas!!! They have all been singin together a while and it shows and sounds that way. Great example yall. Thank u Kirk for inspiring me. Thank You Jesus!!! I'm smiling now!!!
WOW-- I got goose bumps as soon as Mr. Franklin started to Pray!! God has blessed everyone connected to this man, I feel blessed just to watch this wonderful talent! SMILE!!!!!!
Kirk, I love the way you left the "non perfect" pitch in. Gave the song a great feel of someone personally saying Smile. Good touch, great engineer as well! You guys are doing an awesome job!
Each of these background singers are some beast!!!! The lord def has his hand on them! kirk seems 2 neva disappoint me ever! He has been blessed to work with some talented ppl and im sure he has blessed them with his talent as well!
Kirk ... If U're Here Reading This I Wanna Say - BLESS U EVER MORE, BROTHER ! BLESS U ... It Is Nice To See You Folks Starting Off With A Prayer BLESSINGS ... ED
Wow... How I wish I was in the studio with them... The fact that he let's them to be creative... And contribute to the final product... Great leadership skills right there...

Gostei muito de ver o Sr. Franklin e toda a sua equipe orando antes da gravação do CD. É muito bom saber que temos irmãos em Cristo em todos os lugares do mundo. Parabéns a todos vocês por se deixarem usar como instrumentos de Deus e falar em suas músicas, como Ele é importante. Deus abençoe cada um de vocês e toda a sua família. É uma pena não ter este CD aqui no BRASIL ainda.

Awesome! Great to get a glimpse of how a song comes together. I love the collab atmosphere
I dedicate this song to recession,
Depression and unemployment
This song's for you
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today's a new day, where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today's a new day, tell me where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(And while your praying)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Look in the mirror)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Always remember)
You look so much better when you smile, come on
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Smile
See I just want don't you to be happy
'Cause then you have to have something you haven't been
