This track explains the reason that God has given me to dance. The Bible says in 2 Samuel 6:14 that David danced before the Lord with all his might. It was because of what God did for David that caused David to dance. God delivered me from a life of crime, drugs addiction and that street life. This is the reason God has given me to dance. What has God done in your life to cause you to dance?
Glory to God is a track that gives God the glory for all that he has brought me through. He has brought me through three wars as a U.S. Marine, through addictions and through being a thug running the streets. Glory to God is my song giving him the glory for that.
