Some albums take years to plan. Some arrive all at once, almost like they were waiting for the right season to step forward.
“Chosen by Grace” was that kind of album for me.
These ten songs came out of real life. Real prayer. Real moments of wondering if God was paying attention, and then being completely undone when I realized He never looked away.
The album released April 6, 2026, and if you have not heard it yet, I want to walk you through what is waiting for you.
What Is “Chosen by Grace” About?
At its core, this album is about identity. Not the kind of identity built on what you do or how well you perform, but the kind that was decided before you were born and confirmed at the cross.
Every song on this album circles back to one central truth: you were not an accident. You were not an afterthought. You were chosen by grace, and nothing about your story disqualifies you from that.
The Full Track List
Here is every song on the album and a glimpse of what each one holds:
- Chosen by Grace – The title track. Where it all begins.
- Meeting Me Where I Am – For the days when you cannot come to God polished.
- I Feel Close When I Pray – About the intimacy that prayer opens up.
- Finding Me – The journey of discovering who you are in Christ.
- With My Hands Lifted High – A surrender anthem.
- Hosanna, King of Kings – Praise rooted in the Palm Sunday story.
- He Found Me – A personal salvation testimony in song form.
- You Chose Me – An intimate, direct response to God’s choosing love.
- Walk This Road – For the long stretches of the faith journey.
- yesterday, today, forever – Anchored in the unchanging nature of God.
Over the next several weeks, I will be sharing a full blog post for every single song, including the story behind it, the feelings woven into the lyrics, and the Scriptures that shaped it.
Why I Made This Album
I have spent a lot of my life feeling like grace was real in general, but not always sure it was specifically real for me. I think a lot of people live there. We believe the theology but struggle to let it land personally.
These songs were my way of letting it land.
Writing music has always been how I process the deepest things. And these songs were written in the middle of life, not from a mountaintop. They are honest. They are sometimes searching. And I hope they feel like a hand extended to anyone who needs to be reminded that they are not outside of grace.
Scripture That Anchors This Album
Isaiah 43:1 “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”
John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit.”
