The highly anticipated 13-song project features Cochren & Co.'s back-to-back Top 10 Billboard Christian Airplay radio singles, “Church (Take Me Back)” and “One Day,” the current Top 10 Billboard AC single, "Who Can," plus the album's powerful title track, which was produced by GRAMMY®-winning producer Christopher Stevens.
