This was from their 2008 album, "The Sound." It's there second biggest hit, behind "Shackles (Praise You)." It peaked at #68 on the Hot 100, #5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #1 on the Hot Gospel Songs chart. Man, the beat on this one makes you forget it's a gospel/inspirational song.

This one had to grow on me. I remember the fuss within the gospel community (the common folk) over this song. I get it. The song was cute, but they are singers and didn't need that autotune.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jamming to this in 2008, but what a mess. I liked "Get Up" from this album better, and I still listen to that one.

It's been a while since I listened to this. The song gave me The-Dream vibes when I heard it. I didn't know it was them until the chorus kicked in. The remixes with Ne-Yo and Yung Joc were good.
The lyrics are a reference to the oft-criticized prosperity gospel and the "I can do all things..." scripture.

US #68 (R&B #5; Dance #1).
The biggest gospel crossover hit in recent memory. The song broke several records on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart: longest climb to the top 10 (42 weeks), longest run by a group (74 weeks). It also won the Best Gospel Song at Grammy (2010).
Kanye West and Amber Rose made special appearances in its music video.

I liked this, but none of their other songs top their debut for me.
