On a Sunday in mid-October Rev. Timothy Wright made his greatest public appearance since a tragic July 4th car accident claimed the life of his grandson and wife, and left him paralyzed from the chest down.

At the Circle of Sisters Expo sponsored by WLIB, his hometown New York radio station, Rev. Timothy Wright expressed his gratitude and gave his testimony to 3,000 people packed into the concert hall of the Javits Convention Center.

The crowd had to be quiet to listen attentively as he spoke slower than the classic Rev Timothy Wright has done in the past. But he was clear and powerful, ending with a declaration, “The next time you see me, I’m gonna be walking. God bless you.”

The silent crowd erupted in praise and applause as they wiped tears and snapped pictures. After addressing his New York family, Rev. Timothy Wright joined WLIB Program Director, Midday Personality, Denise Hill, at a live broadcast for his first radio interview since the accident.

DH: You have always been an inspiration to us through your music and you said God recently gave you a new song. And so, even in whatever state the enemy thinks he may have you in, God’s giving you new songs that will not only bless and bring you through but continue to bless others. Tell us about this newest song God gave you.

TW: Well, I was in the hospital and I was kind of feeling sorry for myself, but then the Spirit spoke to me and said, “I’m still here…for a reason.” So, after all is said an done, after all the troubles and trial, after all the tears, I’m still here for a reason.

DH: I think the latter of that is the part a lot of people leave out. “I’m still here” and they kind of get stuck there. But its for a reason. So you can’t just sit on the testimony that I made it through. You have to get through and go forth….

TW: Absolutely.

DH: …and now be productive in the earth. Other than music and the songs God’s giving you, what do you see God doing through you in the future?
