Willie Myrick - Wise Beyond His Years
Willie Myrick was only 10 years old when he was kidnapped from his front yard. You might be surprised by how he reacted to the ordeal. Let's watch...
Willie Myrick persuaded his kidnapper to release him by singing praise to his God and protector. The lyrics that Willie Myrick sang over and over were written by Hezekiah Walker and John David Bratton. The lyrics repeatedly proclaim praise to God:
Every praise is to our God
Every word of worship with one accord.
Every praise, every praise is to our God.
Sing hallelujah to our God.
Every praise, every praise is to our God.
Willie Myrick is a great example to us of how God can take our focus off the situation and put it on our powerful God. Singing and worshipping God is a great way to center on Him!
