"Declaration (This is It)" is an Gospel song by Kirk Franklin from his 2007 album The Fight of My Life. The song contains samples of and interpolations of "This Is It" by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins who are credited with Franklin as composers of the song.[1][2]
| “ | Franklin's song "Declaration (This Is It!)" is a remake of the song "This Is It!" by pop-rock singer Kenny Loggins. This song motivates and stirs the soul to action. It denounces the troubles of life's current situation, and proclaims victory through faith in God. | ” |
