This lively Steven Curtis Chapman/Chris McCollum original song is all about the healing power of love, presented here in an arrangement for SSAB a cappella vocal group and tenor soloist. Goes through a number of different musical styles, so a fun showcase for a versatile tenor soloist. Great for a vocal group with plenty of women singers, but not so many men singers! Easy/Medium difficulty level.
