“This has literally been the most overwhelming experience in my life,” said Brown. “I love gospel music and I love the Stellar Awards and I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to be on that stage. I never dreamed that when I got the opportunity, it would be like THIS. It is a dream come true and is proof that God remembers …”

If you have food to eat, a place to sleep and you really can’t complain
This song is for you
After everything you’ve been through
This song is for you.”
