    “Your Ways Better”. Forrest deserves it. He laid in bed with a broken back and still recorded a song glorifying God.

    While I love Brandon Lake’s “That’s Who I Praise”, I would have to vote for “Still Waters”. My 5 yr old granddaughter has really big emotions often, and I have found that this song is what can keep her level emotionally. She loves it and almost knows the whole song by heart.
