Reginald Marice Griffin, Sr.

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 - It was God's grace - It was God's grace -It was God's grace; I MADE IT THIS FAR BY THE GRACE OF GOD.”
