SG vs. CCM Smackdown: "Who Am I" vs. "Because of Whose I Am" March 11, 2014

We haven’t had a southern gospel versus CCM song smackdown in a while, so now seems as good a time as any.

I still think it’s a cut above average for this genre. Here is a newer, acoustic version featuring their female vocalist instead of Mark Hall:
