It’s not because I’ve always deserved it, it’s only because of his grace and mercy that has brought me to where I am today. Serving God and singing for the Lord is not a hobby, it’s who I am. It’s like drinking water and breathing in air….I need him in order to live.” Sherl Burke’s new release “Faithful God” is the “MUST HAVE” cd of the year.
