From Death Row to Redemption: Patrick Mayberry’s “Anybody Else” Is a Haunting Call for One More Soul

Worship leader and songwriter Patrick Mayberry has never been afraid of holy interruptions. But even he couldn’t have predicted that a simple whisper from God inside Louisiana State Penitentiary would become the heartbeat of his new EP, Anybody Else. During a worship service with the prison ministry organization God Behind Bars—held in the shadow of death row—Mayberry watched as one inmate stepped forward to respond to the Gospel. As the man moved toward baptism, Mayberry sensed a quiet but unmistakable divine nudge: “Ask if there’s anybody else.” Stepping out in obedience, he voiced the question. Two more men on death row raised their hands. That same day, they gave their lives to Christ. That moment, raw and redemptive, is now captured in the EP’s powerful title track and current radio single—a song that refuses to let believers stay silent about what God has done.

The Anybody Else EP, released June 12, 2025, via Merge PR, features six tracks accompanied by premium lyric videos, but it is the title song that is already wrecking rooms and stirring hearts across the nation. “The redeemed of the Lord have never been called to stay silent,” Mayberry declares, and the music backs up every word. Following a monumental season that saw his hit “Lead On Good Shepherd” reach No. 1 on the Billboard radio chart and earn a K-LOVE Fan Awards nomination for Worship Song of the Year, Mayberry continues to rise—having toured with Crowder, Elevation Worship, Phil Wickham, and Anne Wilson. Yet for all his accolades, Anybody Else proves that his most profound work still emerges from the margins. This EP is not merely a collection of songs; it is an invitation. To the one still hesitating, still hiding, still wondering if grace has room: Mayberry leans into the microphone and asks the only question that matters—“Is there anybody else?”
