God’s Love Never Changes
"God’s Love Never Changes was written by a husband-and-wife team, Dick and Melodie Tunney. Melodie grew up in a minister of music's home, while Dick's family members were everyday working folks. Their Christian upbringings pointed them toward the evolving musical groups that emerged during the birth of what we now call Praise Music. "
