Those who comprise our homeless population are changing but are the solutions to homelessness keeping pace?
JOYFUL NOISE
Eye of the Storm | Ryan Stevenson (feat. GabeReal)
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
