can someone please tell me who originally did this song? The lyrics I remember are "I wanna thank you heavenly father, for shining your light on me". This is driving me nuts. I want to know who sang it. Also this a religious song? I never thought about it back in the day.

Where my old skool heads at?

I was first familiar with the version on this album:



But Alicia Myers did it first.

I didn't even realize it was a remake until I bought One Way's greatest hits.

oh man, thank you so much!! Alicia Meyers? Wow, i've never even heard of her before. Was that her only song? Did she do anything else? thanks, now I can sleep at night!

TommyRoss said:

sounds like this song has been remade a few times. who else has done it?

dancerella said:

She sang with One Way, and it's on a few of their compilations. I have it on The Best of One Way. I'm happy to know that you can now sleep.

TommyRoss said:

i never heard of One Way either. are they an old skool funk band?

dancerella said:

Check them out.
