Kanye West and his Sunday Service Choir performed at the Strength to Stand Christian youth conference in Pigeon Forge, TN over the weekend.
West stepped onto the stage and powerfully spoke the lyrics from “Jesus is King,” “Follow God” and “Closed on Sunday.”
Standing before more than 12,000 students, West proclaimed, “I believe Jesus died for my sins. There was a time when the devil had me,” The Christian Post reports.

“I believe Jesus died for my sins. There was a time when the devil had me,” #KanyeWest testified before the 12,400 students gathered for the Strength to Stand Conference on Sunday.
“Do you know the good news? Jesus can save a wretch like me,” he continued. Along with his choir, he sang the words, “I stretch my hands to you/Father I stretch.”
The event featured big names in the Christian sphere, but when Kanye announced he was bringing his Sunday Service choir, interest went through the roof and the free event was booked to capacity within minutes.
Other performers included Hillsong Young & Free, Lecrae, and Jonathan Edwards.
