It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Jessica King busted onto the Southern Gospel Charts with her hit song, “Keep Me In Your Will”.

Retro Review #1: Symphony of Praise (Cathedrals)
Symphony of Praise was just the second full southern gospel project I obtained. (The first was the Cathedrals’ Farewell Celebration).
