Here's a comment from this video's discussion thread:
Brer Fox, 2016
"Little 9 year Willie Myrick of Georgia was kidnapped from his front yard. He did not speak as he was warned by his abductor. But Willie sang "Every Praise" continually for three hours until this abductor stopped and told him to get out! LOL! This little boy's testimony may cause his abductor to turn from his evil ways before it's too late. This song was Willie's message and his inspiration.
Although this happened more than a year ago, I just found out about it yesterday. The right message at the right time. This song has been running through my mind continually since then! Every praise TRULY belongs to our God! The video is SO UPLIFTING to me too! Make a joyful noise!"

This is my "go to" praise song ... I got some shocking news about my son and I listened to this song over and over for hours. On my YouTube feed the story about the little boy who was kidnapped, when I actually watched the video, I saw that it had been filmed in my old stomping grounds. I'm just wondering now, years later, why they picked this location? I remember decades ago the controversy over the fountain and the sculptures, but it wasn't until today that (as a fairly new Christian) that I realized what I was looking at. Those statues are satanic symbolisms. Does anyone have information on this?
