I've leaned on God for so long. "Hey, God, you just gave me this gift, and I'm just going to go out there and sing." But I'm realizing how much larger and how expansive my gift becomes when I actually pay attention to it and try to practice and try to perfect it.

Every time truth comes we hate it, because it's coming against our ego. Are you going to let the ego come between you and this person you love?

You could get the money, you can get the power, but keep your eyes on the final hour.

The sweetest thing I've ever known was like the kiss on the collarbone.

The work is constant. There's a time for rest, but I don't believe in getting comfortable just because everyone says you've arrived.

I don't buy into that whole concept of success that I have this mountain with this moat around it and then I get into my big car and drive to my destination and never see people. That's not my concept of success.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.
