But her “Legacy” album reacquainted her with traditional hymns and gospel songs like “Nothing but the Blood” and “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” that promote the message of God’s grace and forgiveness. “We wouldn’t need a savior if everybody did everything all right,” she says in this article for the Religion Journal section of The New York Times.
