“Praise Him”Angela “Missy” Billups
From Standing on the Promises
Missy Billups is not all hat and no gospel singer.
The New Yorker’s single, “Praise Him,” is a song of gratitude fitted with shouting shoes that stomp out the beat the old-school way. As she thanks God for what He’s done for her, Missy sings the Biblical apologetic for gospel music, Pentecostal-style: praising with the “sound of the trumpet,” “stringed instruments,” “dance” and the “cymbal.”
“Praise Him” will have handkerchiefs waving and congregants throwing sanctified shapes in the aisles.
