Christian & Gospel Artists Praise President Barack Obama for His Rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ [SEE HERE]
Just hours after President Barack Obama addressed the world on the historical decision to legalize same sex marriage in America by exclaiming that "love wins" he took to another podium to eulogize the funeral of Charleston victim Reverend Clementa Pinckney. As the president preached and broke out into worship, popular Christian and Gospel artists took to Twitter with their reactions.
The fearless leader spoke for about 20 minutes and even led the crowd into praise with the common hymn "Amazing Grace." See his rendition of the song below:

The senseless loss of Reverend Clementa Pinckney, pastor of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and his parishioners: Cynthia Hurd, Susie Jackson, Ethel Lance, Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, Tywanza Sanders, Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr., Rev. Sharonda Singleton and Myra Thompson will always be remembered as a racial hate crime.
The wiliness of the remanding church members to forgive the killer was a true testament to the God they all served and now President Obama has now given everyone another reason to remember God's amazing grace.
