“When my producer Jay DeMarcus brought me this song, I knew it was special and I couldn’t believe I was going to get the chance to record it, ” Crabb commented. “To be nominated for the GMA Dove Awards for this video and song is very humbling. Every time I sing it, I am thankful that God chose me to spread this message. Just as the song says, yes, life is tough but love is stronger. His love is the love that knows no bounds. I am very grateful. Congratulations to my family and peers on their nominations as well.”
