I prefer this Christian song to absurd, fake romantic pop songs. You sing Turkish well and foreigners should listen to your songs to get a good understanding of Turkish. You are amazing. As a Muslim, I love your songs.

Interestingly, Christian songs always make an impression on me, especially worship songs In churches. I am not a Christian, but thanks be to Allah there is rich diversity in Turkey. It's very interesting to live in a country full of this richness. I respect Christians, they are good people.
