Grammy award-winning artist Kirk Franklin brings hope with ‘I Smile.’ This beloved Christian song was originally released in 2011 and the words still ring true today.
“I smile,
Even though I hurt, see, I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
What you do? I smile
Come on, smile
It's so hard to look up when you've been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
God's people, you look so much better when you smile, so smile”
Kirk Franklin has been a staple in the Christian music scene for decades. Over the years, he has given us gospel hits such as ‘Love Theory’ and ‘Looking For You.’
Recently, he collaborated with contemporary Christian artist, Tori Kelly, for her first gospel album. Today, we’re looking back at one of his biggest hits of all time, ‘I Smile.’
“I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now”
These words truly remind us that God is with us wherever we go. Even when we feel lost or discouraged, God is by our side and will lift us up to even greater heights. Put your trust in Him and you will never be led astray. Who else is saying amen?
Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
