sung in 250 days 250 to 260 concerts our churches or programs every year which we sung in every major city in the United States of America Hawaii Canada and I tell you what God's been awful good to us I tell you we started out singing and singing part time and singing on weekends and one Sunday morning down in Iowa South Carolina in 1971 we dedicated the songs and the singing to Jesus and ever since that day he's blessed us far more than we deserve just a bunch of country boys from the mountains of North Carolina and we don't claim to be the world's greatest singers but we do claim Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and I wouldn't take nothing for that I'm gonna be moving here we go [Music] now this whole world's a place little not enough care not enough given sometimes time to sin
