Even when I found the name of the song, the song was available as a lyric video on YouTube and published by someone entirely different from who I wanted to give streaming dollars to, that's if it counts for much.
It was not until this morning I found one with 250k subscribers and I thought... Ah this has to be him.
Now I am moving to upset because this is someone I love deeply and hate to see how there's so much low hanging fruit that he isn't taking advantage of.
Everyone is taking advantage of digital opportunities, why not you dear creative? Why not?
People are searching with the lyrics? Why not embed the...
You create an album as a Christian creative or not, there are lyrics platform, update your lyrics on as many as you can find.
It's the laziness for me.

I really love the band "For King and Country". It's the beauty of the songs, it is the visuals as well, and how intentional they are about their message and getting the songs heard.
When they win awards in categories that are not even gospel, I am not surprised at all.
It's the same strategy today, nothing has changed.
"Let this mindset be in you". That nothing is out of the list when it comes to spreading your creations.
