I was excited to see the nominees for best gospel song because “Every Prayer” and “God in Me” are both great songs. “Every Prayer” was written by Dayna Caddell, Israel Houghton, Aaron Lindsey & Ricardo Sanchez and “God In Me” was written by both Mary’s and Warryn Campbell. The other artists nominated for best gospel song are Third Day, TobyMac, and Matthew West.
