“We need Jesus, we need His presence," Jobe explains. "Thankfully, His presence goes with us wherever we go. We can access Him anywhere we are. My heart is that people would experience that in every moment of this album. That they would be drawn to the heart of the Father who loves them.”

 

The new album's title track features the global worship anthem of the year, "The Blessing," which Jobe co-wrote along with Cody Carnes and Elevation Worship's Steven Furtick and Chris Brown. The song was written and released the week before the world was overcome with the pandemic. The live video now has more than 28.6 million views, and the song has 57 million global audio streams in just six months and has been included on Spotify's US Viral 50, Global Viral 50 playlists and Top 50 Most thumbed-up songs on Pandora.
