Wow! it's hard to believe that this ccm classic is nearly 2
decades old!! I luv the title song and the intro to it,
great song!! I could relate to the video, i.e. riding
horses; luv doing so. Great duet with BeBe Winans "Still
Called Today": a song still needed for today!! "Heart's

live Adventure concert. "Go There With You" and "That's
Paradise" are also cd notables; fave tunes also!!
GOD Bless! -Don
