Donald Lawrence’s "The Best Is Yet to Come" is more than a gospel staple; it is a masterclass in musical resilience and the art of the "corporate confession."

The song’s longevity stems from its versatility. It is played at weddings to mark new beginnings and at funerals to offer hope for the afterlife. By stripping away hyper-specific religious jargon and focusing on the universal concept of "better," Lawrence created a bridge.
