\u201cThere was a moment in my life where all I had was a Bible this big and a radio the same size in a 6\u00d78-foot cell, and I believed that those two things could change my life,\u201d he said from the Grammy stage, his voice rising. \u201cI believe that music has the power to change my life and God has the power to change my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch the rest for yourself below.<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party \u2026 anybody can have a relationship with him.\u201d<\/q><\/p>\n

When Jelly Roll\u2019s name was announced by good friend Lainey Wilson, the cameras cut to find him recoiling with shock. The singer stood and hugged and kissed Reba McEntire and her fianc\u00e9 Rex before squeezing Bunnie Xo and rushing to the stage.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the night, Jelly Roll won for\u00a0Best Country Duo \/ Group Performance and\u00a0Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance\/Song but he wasn\u2019t in person to accept.<\/p>\n

This award \u2014 his third lifetime Grammy \u2014 is all his.<\/p>\n
