I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

One of the top selling
album last year was from a member of a famous gospel music family. Five
songs were written by CeCe herself. This album was also partly produced
by Fred Hammond.
"It wasn't easy" reminds that many people would sometimes
take the crusification so lightly that they would forget how worthful
it was. In the title song "Alabaster Box", CeCe sings about the love
and submission to Jesus the Savior as shown by Mary in Luke
7:37-38. In "One and the same", she praise how "high and mighty" God
is with Take 6, a famous gospel a capella group.
Throughout the album, CeCe sings about the personal relationship
with God, rather than preaching or spreading His words.
