His new comforting and poignant worship single “GOD Is” has been making its way up the Gospel BDS Radio Charts and has entered the Top 15 songs. “GOD Is” is available on iTunes and the official lyric video can be viewed and shared on Youtube. Dopson is readying his forthcoming sophomore release GOD IS (fill in the blank) which will release on his Oilonit Music label and Central South Distribution.
