Gospel Musician Recovering Well From Covid-19

Charles Billingsley

and his wife Shae had just celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary when he began to feel the symptoms of the illness he ’d soon learn was the coronavirus.

Laying in a hospital bed in Lynchburg, Virginia, the award-winning worship leader tearfully admitted during an interview with Faithwire, “I got real angry with the Lord, because He wasn’t healing me like I thought He should.”

“I felt so convicted for that for so many days, and almost embarrassed, but I’ll tell you, this thing will do a number on you mentally as much as it does physically,” he explained.

Now on the mend — though his doctor told him his outcome could have been devastating had he not been in such good physical shape — Billingsley said he’s learned a great deal about himself and God over the last 30 days.

“I’m thankful for the incredible moments of worship that I had just between me and the Lord,” said Billingsley, a teaching pastor at Thomas Road Baptist Church.

 “It’s made me regret all those moments in my life when I worshipped the Lord and was a little inhibited because of maybe what people think or because of the environment I was in. I just don’t care anymore.”-gospelmusic.org
