“Every time I step onto the stage or someone hears a recording, I want the listener to be encouraged,” said Crabb. “We choose the songs and pray that someone is blessed. Tonight, it was a special treat that my producers Jay, Ed and Wayne were here with me and that the efforts of the amazingly talented songwriters, musicians – everyone involved – was honored. And, wow, what a great moment to have my buddy Jay DeMarcus along with the Cathedral of Praise choir on stage with me for the night. He is the giver of all good gifts and I am thankful, honored and humbled.”
