Gospel music collective Anchor Hymns is excited to announce the release of their latest single, “Jesus Is,” marking the beginning of an inspiring new project. Written by acclaimed folk songwriter Taylor Leonhardt and performed by the talented duo Chaunda Jefferson and Travis Ryan, “Jesus Is” stands as a soulful anthem of hope and redemption.
Recorded live in the unique and intimate setting of Black Abbey, a Nashville brewery where the mundane meets the divine, “Jesus Is” captures the raw, authentic worship experience that Anchor Hymns is known for. The song’s bluesy guitar riffs, laid-back drums, and the steady, uplifting presence of an organ create a powerful and groovy backdrop for its poignant message.
“Jesus Is” explores the deep lows of the human experience, reflecting on the struggles and pain that often accompany life. Yet, the song contrasts these with the profound wholeness and healing that can be found in Jesus. It’s a testament to the redemptive power of faith, offering listeners a reminder of the hope that exists even in the darkest moments.
Anchor Hymns, known for their ability to blend traditional hymns with contemporary sounds, brings a fresh and moving approach to worship music with “Jesus Is.” The live recording setting enhances the song’s authenticity, inviting listeners to join in the heartfelt praise that flows naturally from the musicians’ collaboration.
“Jesus Is” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
