Listen to "Somebody Testify" HERE.

"I wrote Somebody Testify with Mia Fieldes and Bede Benjamin-Korporaal. Mia was actually the first writer that I called when I decided to write a worship album. In the co-write world, you can end up in rooms with complete strangers. It can be a great way to form new friendships.

However, it's amazing to get to write with people that have been long time friends. Mia has been that to me. Consequently, she knows my story. That's ALWAYS a great way to start a song. We knew that we wanted something that would create a moment for people to connect with God. Remembering His goodness and things that He has done is biblical. It's also a vehicle to thankfulness and to remember that the same God that has shown Himself faithful before, will do it again. It's powerful.

However, as Bede started to play the opening piano line, the song started with the lyric.. "I feel it in the room". From that line... the song began to flow out like water. From the first verse, we knew we had something special. As wild as it sounds, it felt like the ultimate goal became to write the song from where we were in the moment and somehow broadcast that into future "moments" for those listening in church, in their homes, cars... wherever people can listen. That was what we were feeling. Prayerfully and hopefully, this song will do just that."
