Phil Wickham teamed up with Crowder on this reimagining of a classic hymn turned praise party, “It Really Is Amazing Grace.” Phil shares, “I’ve sung this song my whole life, and it never gets old. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded of His forgiveness, His grace, and how deeply I need both. So excited to keep singing these lyrics in a new way. 250 years later, and this hymn still carries so much power. So grateful for these timeless lyrics and all the moments I’ve had with Jesus through them. I hope you’re reminded today of the amazing grace God has given you.”

Micah Tyler’s song “Perfectly” is for those of us who see those “perfect” photos on social media and feel pressure to keep up. It’s a reminder that God loves us perfectly despite our flaws, brokenness, and inability to be perfect ourselves. God’s grace and love are not earned through personal perfection, but are given freely even when life is messy. Micah says, “I want to be perfect. I look around at the people next to me, I look on social media, and over and over again, I see this perfect picture of someone’s life. And I think to myself, God, when the other people are brave, all I see is fear in my life. And then I remember that it’s God’s perfect love that casts out that fear. I feel like every time that I make a turn, it is heading down another broken road when I remember that God has a perfect plan for my life. See, at the end of the day, when we throw up our hands and we confess the places that we fall short, that’s when God’s perfect love shows up and loves us perfectly.”
