“The more I grow as a worship leader, the more I am learning that worship isn’t just the words I sing, but the very posture of my heart,” shares Story. “True worship is more than adoration; it’s coming before a faithful, trustworthy Father with open hands. It’s saying, ‘God, I want to surrender my life to You. I want You to take it all. Whatever comes, let me not respond with clenched fists as if I know best. With open hands, my life is Yours. The joy. The sorrow. The most broken things. I surrender to You. This is my act of worship.'” ~Laura Story

The title track—already a chart-topper prior to the album’s release—features guest vocals from Third Day’s Mac Powell, a fellow Atlanta-native and Story’s longtime friend. “You Came Running” borrows imagery from the biblical narrative of the Prodigal Son. In true Story fashion, several selections (“Awake My Soul (1000 Tongues),” “For The Love of My King”) reimagine timeless hymns, which she refreshes with an original chorus.
GRAMMY® award winning artist, speaker, songwriter, author and worship leader Laura Story
but her greatest joy is being a wife to Martin and the mother to Ben, Griffin and Josie.

This really resonated with me. As a grieving parent, it would have been so easy to close my hands but I didn't. I have kept them open and God is faithful to heal!!!
Love to you, Kathleen!
Thank you, Anne. Yes, I am so thankful our trust in the Lord is held by Him. Prayer. He hears us and holds our mother hearts. <3 Kathleen
