It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.

As long as the songs are strong, I think you can express yourself in any style and have it be soulful and have it be your own voice.
