[Kirk Franklin:]
Coming from a family, uh, of some so many relatives that had been incarcerated, I know what it's like when people make mistakes
And they are just written off by society
Um, that's something I know personally and so
The grace and mercy that is needed to be able to give people another chance and have patience with them
And to also realize that but by the grace of God, that could have been me
That is the memory that I'll always keep with me
Having a chance to worship at the Everglades
[Naomi Raine:]
He's got the whole word in His hands
He's got the whole wide world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
