Hurd described his latest song as a heartfelt declaration of God’s goodness, written during a trip to South Africa. “It’s pretty much a testimonial of who God is to the heart of the person,” he explained. The single marks a significant comeback for Hurd, who stepped away from the industry to refocus. “I got tired of the industry stuff and put myself on a hiatus. During that time, I wrote a worship book to help worship leaders and started hearing God differently,” he shared.
