Eric McCleese Shannon

“How did I make it all these years?  How did I make it this far? Through the valleys and over the hills, I know it had to be God. How did I make it through the storm? How did I make it through the rain? If you want to know, just how I got here, it's so easy to explain. It was God's grace, God's grace, God’s grace, God’s grace, I made it this far; by the grace of God.”
