Produced by Tyler Chester, these songs were recorded this at Sonic Ranch in March 2021.
McCracken writes, "Here at the start of Advent, I hope these songs ring out the thrill of hope for a weary world. (Special thanks to Paul Chlim for recalling this R.E.M. song at just the right time!)/"
Sandra McCracken's prolific contributions as a songwriter, modern-day hymn writer and record producer has brought grace and clarity to her soulful, folk-gospel sound. Whether in a theater or in a chapel, she is a dynamic performer who blurs the lines of what church music sounds like, captivating and inviting audiences to sing along.
While many of her songs like "We Will Feast In The House Of Zion" and "Thy Mercy My God" have settled into regular rotation in Christian worship services internationally, she has also had songs recorded by All Sons & Daughters, ABC's Grey's Anatomy, Audrey Assad, BiFrost Arts, Caedmon's Call and others.
