An Atlanta boy survived a kidnapping thanks to his love of gospel music.
9-year-old Willie Myrick was kidnapped from his driveway earlier this month.
During the ordeal, Myrick sang the gospel tune “Every Praise,” over and over for three hours.
“He told me he didn’t want to hear a word from me,” Myrick said. That’s when Myrick began to sing a gospel song called “Every Praise.” The kidnapper started cursing and repeatedly told Myrick to shut up, but he wouldn’t. He sang the song for about three hours until the kidnapper let him out of the car.
The little boy ran to a nearby home and asked the resident to call his guardian.
Myrick recently got to meet “Every Praise” gospel singer Hezekiah Walker, and they sang the song together.
Police don’t have any leads on the suspect, but are hoping a sketch they released will generate tips.
