A Heartbeat of Worship: George Case Unveils “Jesus Wanna Be”
Singer, songwriter, and worship leader George Case has released his newest single, “Jesus Wanna Be,” a soul-stirring track produced by Jeremy Medkiff and co-written with his longtime friend and fellow musician Dennis McCall. Rooted in the timeless message of discipleship, the song blends Christian AC and Christian Country influences, inviting listeners to model their lives after Christ. What began years ago as Dennis’s inspiration from the Fannie Crosby hymn “More Like Jesus Would I Be” has been beautifully reimagined, resulting in a fresh, heartfelt anthem. Anchored in the truth of 1 John 2:6, the lyrics—“I’m a walking, talking Jesus Wanna Be… this is what His love has made of me”—carry a powerful reminder of grace and the call to reflect Jesus’ character in a world longing for His light.
George’s personal journey adds a profound layer to the song’s message. Growing up in a Southern Baptist church in Pickens, South Carolina, he was nurtured in faith and music by his family before serving for years in the U.S. military, including a decade with the South Carolina Army National Guard. Returning to his first calling, George has used his gift of songwriting to inspire believers worldwide—his previous single, “There is a Place,” touched listeners in over 111 countries and garnered more than half a million YouTube views in under a year. With “Jesus Wanna Be,” George continues his mission of worship and witness, offering a melody of hope that challenges every believer to walk boldly in the footsteps of Christ and shine His love in every sphere of life.
