Anne Wilson Wows with 'God and Country' Live Performance

Anne Wilson Wows With 'God and Country' Live Performance from Anne Wilson on GodTube.

‘Mama put a Bible in my hands

And daddy put my hands in the dirt

I grew up in the heart of the heartland

With a vintage Johnny Cash on my shirt’

Her song doesn’t just have a good beat, and the lyrics hit home for most people. We were raised by God-fearing mothers, hard-working fathers, and grandparents who filled in the gaps and put down deep roots. It was the same for Anne. 

You can’t help but smile and feel as though she is singing about you. The way you were raised on the Good Book, going to church on Sundays and how it feels to drive down dirt roads in your old car with a humble heart that loves everything about small towns, country life, and Jesus. 

Anne didn’t know she was called to be a singer for the Lord until she was in her late teens after her brother passed away in a tragic accident. While she was searching for direction in her musical career, she went back to her roots and realized she wanted to write country gospel songs that resonated with people. 

She said, “So, then I started to realize, once I released those songs, that people were messaging me, saying, ‘Hey, we’re not Christians, but we love the sound of your music cause it’s country. So, we listen to your music, and it’s led us to Jesus.’”

Her heartfelt, upbeat performance, the down-to-your-roots lyrics, and Anne’s incredible voice will have you replaying this song over and over. It’s a stunning example of how faith and music can unite people and point them to the cross. Anne’s message is spot on: we are all made by God, for God, and with a purpose deeply rooted in His love. 

Proverbs 22:6 "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."
