" I ’ll Be Thinking o f U,” a rem ake o f an A ndre Crouch clas sic. The song, though not a hymn, was included on the CD as a project com pendium . “ LU Be Thinking o f U ," as you will see in the video, is a rem inder o f all the times that God has looked out for me. I felt that it tied in so well with the project be cause each hymn is one that 1 played during a major test or lesson in my life and every time God thought o f me and brought me through."
