The Warrior is a Child - Twila Paris

I love this version! It's actually superior to the original.

Twila is in the top tier of Christian songwriters of the past 30 years. I'd place her in the same company as Keith Green, Michael Card, Rich Mullins, and Margaret Becker without batting an eye. Writers know she just never got the respect she deserved because of the cookie-cutter production of her 80s albums. But the songs are SO powerful out from under all that filler.

Also, Twila is the only performer who ever hugged my neck and cried! She is such a tenderhearted person. I met her in Indianapolis and I told her how much she meant to my wife and some of the story after the tornado. She wouldn't let me go! I have always loved her for that.

What a cool story! I did not know that.
