"It encompasses, I mean Hoda, you know how important my Christian faith is, and it's the foundation of who I am. And I could pick a Bible verse and there's a billion that I could give you, but when I need to feel, and when I need a reminder, this song and the lyrics in it are everything."

In addition to sharing her quotes, Candace talks about how important it has been for her to rely on her faith during this time.
"We're all worried, because we don't know what's gonna happen, we don't. And I think the unknown is the scariest for all of us," says Candace. "We don't necessarily have job security, some people don't know where their next meal is coming from, you know, schools are out, and parents are homeschooling for the first time...I mean there's just so many unknown questions."
Amidst all the unknowns, Candace shares that she can always look to the Lord during this time of uncertainty and be rooted in her faith.
"The Lord gives all of us not only grace but hope and promises and tells us not to worry," Candace says. "He's like, ‘I know every hair that's numbered on your head. I provide for every bird in the air and every animal. Don't you think that you're more valuable than them?"
