“There’s a really strong and catchy quality about this song that most radio singles don’t have,†mentioned Chris Unthank of SouthernSpinRadio.com. “Our listeners are absolutely eating this song up. If a station hasn’t picked this song up yet – they are definitely missing out on one of the strongest cuts of the year.â€
“You & Jesus†was written by Wendy Word and was inspired by the life of her grandmother. The song is being pushed to radio by Jim Stover of Crossroads Music.
