Kirk Franklin gave praise to “Jesus the King, because it is all about Him” after bagging the award for Best Gospel Performance for his song “Love Theory” at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles.

“Gospel music has so many incredible talents and I’m so humbled to be in that category with some of the greatest to ever do it,” said the singer at the 2020 Grammy Awards. “I am such a fan of all these incredible men and women that I get to tell the world about Jesus the King because it is all about Him, amen?” Franklin also won the Grammy for Best Gospel Album for Long Live Love.

Christian pop duo For King & Country in collaboration with American singer and songwriter Dolly Parton won the award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song, for their song “God Only Knows.”

The duo of Australian brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone also won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for their project Burn the Ships.

American singer Gloria Gaynor, best known for the disco era hits “I Will Survive,” won the award for Best Roots/Gospel Album for Testimony. “I want to first thank my Lord and Savior, Christ, Jesus, for the gifts, talents and abilities that I’ve been given with which to make the strides that I’ve made in my life and my career and to bring forth some music that tells of the mercy, the grace, the love, the faithfulness, the availability of God,” Gaynor said while accepting the award.

“While sitting there, I was thinking to myself, we all think from time to time and say ‘Oh, that dress is to die for. That song is to die for. This is to die for. Well, I can’t tell you how blessed I feel to know that He thought I was to die for. He thought you were to die for. Think about that.”
