Not my God. He can use whatever or whomever, whenever or wherever He wants.

Howard Doane was an industrialist who became Crosby’s principal collaborator in writing gospel music,[220] composing melodies for an estimated 1,500 Crosby's lyrics.[219] Doane and Crosby collaborated through Biglow and Main, and also privately through Doane's Northern Baptist endeavours.[221] Eventually Crosby entrusted to Doane the business aspects of her compositions.[222]

In early 1868 Crosby met millionaire Methodist Phoebe Palmer Knapp,[223] who was married to Joseph Fairchild Knapp, co-founder of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.[224] The Knapps published hymnals initially for use in the Sunday School of the St. John's Methodist Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, which was superintended by Joseph F. Knapp for 22 years,[225] while Phoebe Knapp took responsibility for 200 children in the infants' department.[226] They first collaborated on Notes of Joy,[227] the first hymnal edited by Knapp,[228] who also contributed 94 of the 172 tunes, and published by her brother Walter C. Palmer, Jr. in 1869.[229] Of the 21 hymns Crosby contributed to Notes of Joy, including eight as "The Children's Friend",[230] Knapp provided the music for fourteen of them. Their best-known collaboration was "Blessed Assurance", for which Crosby wrote words in the Knapps' music room for a tune written by Knapp,[231] while Crosby was staying at the Knapp Mansion in 1873.[4]
From 1871 to 1908, Crosby worked with Ira Sankey, who helped make her "a household name to Protestants around the world".[232] While Sankey was "the premier promoter" of gospel songs, "Crosby ranked first as their provider".[191] The evangelistic team of Sankey and Dwight L. Moody brought many of Crosby's hymns to the attention of Christians throughout the United States and Britain.[39] Crosby was close friends with Sankey and his wife, Frances, and often stayed with them at their home in Northfield, Massachusetts from 1886 for the annual summer Christian Workers' Conferences,[202] and later in their Brooklyn.[99] After Sankey's eyesight was destroyed by glaucoma in March 1903,[233] their friendship deepened and they often continued to compose hymns together at Sankey's harmonium in his home.[234]
You are right, you only made a CLAIM.
