“Lord I Thank You” – Eric Simmons

“Lord I Thank You”
Eric Simmons
From the Flow Music & Entertainment CD Freedom (2011)

Eric Simmons walked away from a secular music career to pursue a calling to the ministry.

Now serving as Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Paschall in Philadelphia, Simmons is also back in music – gospel music – and has a solo CD, Freedom, to show for it.

The CD includes the single, “Lord I Thank You.”

“Lord I Thank You” rides along on a brisk and breezy, well-produced contemporary R&B groove with a hook-laden chorus.   The youthful Simmons thanks the Lord “for everything you do,” for him and others. He promises to praise even during the rough times. The singer’s urgent tenor is convincing and compelling, and his message is simple: “The least that I can do is tell you ‘thank you.’”
