By: Mary Crosby, Conway Norwood III, and Karen Hunt Barker - Donald Lawrence is being used by God, and he’s certainly giving the saints something to shout about. His tunes of liberty and triumph over life’s catastrophes remind us that we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, and that through Him, we can do all things. Donald Lawrence had one of the biggest songs of 2005, and brought home six Stellar Awards to Chicago to prove it. Not resting on his laurels, he has nothing but high hopes and high praise for what is sure to be a blessed future.
