Our thanks to Renee for creating the lead photo/collage from Danny’s official video
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Happy for Danny. Well deserved!!
Excellent, this is his best song to date in my opinion.
Congratulations Danny, I love your music, when I listen to your CD’s I get goosebumps! Saw you with Mandisa at Harford Community College in Belair Maryland the “Out of the Dark Tour” You and Disa had that place rockin’!
I created a new account because I forgot my log in information. Congratulations, Danny. Well deserved. 😊😊😊😊
Hi Nancy & Kelly, we’re glad you joined us to celebrate a GOLD single 🙂
PS. I’ve been saving this cool collage by Renee to illustrate this post <3
Congratulations what a well deserved award Danny! I am so happy for you! Way to go! Isn’t God grand?
Hi Catherine. So good to see you here 💖
We hope this is the start of many more!
Very nice! I’d like to see more of these certifications. Music sales are in the toilet for every genre of music (with a very few exceptions), so this is no small achievement.
Nice tweet from one of the writers of TYHTBA.
@RandyPCD: Way to go @dannygokey . So proud of what you’ve done with this song. Thank you @matthew_west and @bernieherms . What a joy to write this w you. https://twitter.com/dannygokeynewz/status/994659057930731520
Especially since they had released it as a single right before Danny’s release of his album #HIFOM
Danny Danny Danny.. I love you SO Much!! You Deserve every bit of this and Im so Happy for you!! You really are the Best!! So Congratulations to you for this Award and especially for who you are!!
I love watching your lil video clips of you and your family on “My story” on facebook!! Everyday I get on fb just to see if you did one! But haven’t seen one lately. Looking forward to seeing them again.. Thank you for your heart which has really helped my heart mend from losing my daughter in a car accident…
Hi Judy, I am so sorry you went through the devestating loss of your daughter. I admire your ability to enjoy the little things, like Danny’s video clips. Thanks for sharing 💕

Congras to Danny and team.
That’s very classy of the songwriter. It was an interesting evolution to have it be the possible first DG single, and then preacher group releasing it, then it coming out as Danny’s third (?) CCM single and doing so well.
I remember when my local station was playing both the preachers’ version and Danny’s simultanously. It’s a good song as well as a great performance by Danny. Credit to all involved.
