Award-winning Gospel singer-songwriter Lauren Talley delivers a beautiful and deeply personal reminder about the importance of loving one another with her new single, “While There’s Time.” Co-written with acclaimed Christian songwriter Dave Clark, the song began as a tribute to their late friends, the Nelons, but took on an even deeper meaning when Clark suffered a heart attack the day after they finished writing it.
