10-year-old sings gospel song to overcome kidnapper in Atlanta
The unknown man used cash to lure little Willie Myrick close enough for him to grab and shove into his car March 31. The boy repeated the song 'Every Praise" during the hellish ride. The tune sent the suspect into a cursing fit and he stopped the car near East Point. 'He opened the door and threw me out,' Myrick said.
Willie Myrick cried during the performance by singer Hezekiah Walker and all his friends and family. The 10-year-old was kidnapped March 31 by an unknown man and taken on a three-hour ride around Atlanta before being kicked out of the car for repeatedly singing Walker’s song ‘Every Praise.’
A young boy kidnapped from his Atlanta home sang a gospel song for nearly three hours until the suspect kicked him out of the car.
The man used cash to lure little Willie Myrick close enough for him to grab and shove into his car the night of March 31. The boy, now 10 years old, repeated the song "Every Praise" during the hellish ride.
The tune sent the suspect into a cursing fit and he stopped the car near East Point.
"He opened the door and threw me out," Myrick told a television station in Atlanta, WXIA-TV. "He told me not to tell anyone."
Myrick did the opposite and told the world what happened.
The song Myrick chanted over and over again belongs to Hezekiah Walker, a Grammy-award winning gospel singer. When the artist learned of the alleged kidnapping, he hopped on a plane from New York City to Atlanta.
"I just want to hug him and tell him I love him," Walker told WXIA-TV.
The singer met with Myrick and his friends, family and whole congregation at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in southwest Atlanta on the boy's 10th birthday. They all sang the life-saving song together as tears rolled down Myrick's cheeks
