THE GLAD SURPRISE
(Official Music Video)
This new video features the title track of Steve’s latest album, showcasing masterful musicianship along with the inspiration behind the title from author Howard Thurman: “Such is the glad surprise… it is the announcement that life cannot ultimately be conquered by death… that there is strength added when the labors increase, that multiplied peace matches multiplied trials, that life is bottomed by the glad surprise.”
