If you ask CeCe Winans what drives her, the answer will be far removed from her endless list of accolades, best-selling albums, widespread industry recognition, and vast amounts of press coverage.
When all is said and done, CeCe's heart lies someplace else. Thy Kingdom Come (PureSprings Gospel), her eighth solo album, is a reflection of where her heart resides: in the very inner court of the heavenly realms, where Christ Himself is enthroned.
"When you're in the throne room, your focus is just God," CeCe says. "Nothing's more powerful than that. When you do other music-positive music, gospel, inspirational, whatever you want to name it-you're teaching lessons to other people, which is still very important. But nothing is more powerful than when you're face to face with God."
"It's great to sing songs that help us or that encourage us to live right, or to talk right, or to love each other-and those are all powerful messages, things that God smiles upon," CeCe says. "But when you just talk about the power of the living God and His awesomeness and His holiness, nothing is more powerful than that. It penetrates the heart more than anything."
