I was pretty happy to see that Israel Houghton and the New Breed got nominated in Grammy's yesterday for their song "
With Long Life" (
A Deeper Level). This really goes to show that a Worship Team can really bring the gospel thru media to bless millions of lives! I mean isn't it simply amazing to peform LIVE at the Grammys in front of thousands of viewers and millions of TV viewers and just proclaim the Name of Jesus loudly! Woo Hoo!! What an awesome privilege! (watch the video below)
Well, to be nominated first of all is a Big Deal and although they didn't win that's not too bad. The other nominees for 2008 Grammy Best Gospel Performance were Casting Crowns, The Clark Sisters, Aretha Franklin & Mary J Blige and Cece Winans.
And the Winners were tied between
- The Clark Sisters for their song "Blessed and Highly Favored"
- Aretha Franklin & Mary J Blige for their song "Never Gonna Break My Faith"
Check out the Video of the 2008 Grammys below (Live Presentation) for Never Gonna Break My Faith and some others.

Lyrics - Never Gonna Break My Faith
Verse 1 My Lord
I have read this book so many times
But nowhere can I find the page
That says what I experience today
Ain't it great?
Now I know that life was meant to be hard
Thats how I learn to appreciate my God
Though my courage made me try
I can tell you i won't hide
Because the footprints show you are by my side
ChorusYou can lie to a child with a smilin' face
Tell me that color aint about race
You can cast the first stones you can break my bones
But your never gonna break
Your never gonna break my Faith
Faith and Hope aint yours to give
Truth and Liberty are mine to live
You can steal a crown from a king
Break an angels wings
But your never gonna break
Your never gonna break my Faith
Verse 2My Lord
Won't you help them to understand
That when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Well they never really Won because all they've really done
Is set the Soul Free where it's supposed to be
BridgeFor those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
When his will, His will, will be done
Lyrics - You Brought The SunshineVerse1You made my day, You came my way
You heard me every, every time I pray
You gave me peace, You gave me grace
You put a smile upon my face
ChorusYou brought the sunshine {You brought the sunshine}
In my life {Threw out the lifeline}
Threw out the lifeline (You brought the sunshine)
To save my life {Threw out the lifeline}
Since then I have known Christ
There has been such a change in my life (Uh-huh)
Verse2You made my day, You came my way
You heard me every, every time I pray
You gave me peace, You gave me grace
You put a smile upon my face
You brought the sunshine {You brought the sunshine}
In my life {Threw out the lifeline}
Threw out the lifeline (You brought the sunshine)
To save my life {Threw out the lifeline}
Amazing Grace, how sweet the song
That saved a wretch like me
{I'm a witness that Jesus} Anybody know Jesus
{Will make a difference in your life}
{I'm a witness} Can I get a witness {That Jesus}, anybody know Jesus
{Will make a difference in your life}
{I'm a witness} Can I get a witness {That Jesus}, anybody know Jesus
{Will make a difference in your life}
I once was lost, but now I?m found
But now, but now I see
Oh, yeah, yeah
Mmm, hmm, mmm, hmm
You made, You made my day (You brought the sunshine)
You came, You came my way (Thank You, Jesus, threw out the lifeline)
You made, You made my day (Thank You, Jesus, mmm, hmm, thank You, Jesus)
You came, You came my way (Thank You, Jesus, Thank You, Jesus, mmm, hmm)
Lyrics - With Long LifeChorusWith long life You will satisfy me, You will satisfy me with long life
With long life You will satisfy me, You will satisfy me with long life
I will praise You forever, only You can satisfy
VerseWhen I call, Lord, You will answer, when I fall, You will raise me up
I’m protected by Your shadow, You’re so good, You’re so good to me
I will praise You forever
