NASHVILLE, TENN. (May 20, 2022) Today worship band from Northern Ireland, Rend Collective, releases a new song, "Plans," from a forthcoming new album. This song is to remind listeners that even in the hardest times - a global pandemic, a loss, a health struggle, and when you haven't seen the answer to your prayer - God has a plan for you. In addition to the new song, a lyric video is also available today (Linked below). 

 

"The song 'Plans' is about that place where we often find ourselves - the grey space between faith and fear," shares Rend Collective. "When we haven't seen the answer to our prayers. There are elements of the song that hang unresolved, which is real to life. It’s an emotion we wanted to capture musically. We wrote this song as a pillar for us to lean on. In some ways, this song is for us as much as it is for you. We need help remembering to trust in the character of God, even when things shift around. This song reminds us that ultimately, God has a plan for our lives."

 

This song will lead to more new music from the group as they wrap up an album that will release in the fall. With more than 597 million career streams, a No. 1 Billboard Top Christian / Gospel album debut with their album Choose to Worship, a Top 5 radio single, "Counting Every Blessing," and an RIAA Gold and Platinum single with "My Lighthouse," Rend Collective is an authentic worship experience. 

The live show from Rend Collective has captured audiences worldwide with several major tours with top artists like Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe, Lecrae, and most recently MercyMe. They have also headlined tours across the USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Next month, they will embark on their headline European with special guest Matt Maher.

With career sales of nearly 800,000 albums, the group has seen many successes, including radio hit, “Counting Every Blessing” which hit the Top 5 on the National Christian Audience Chart, an RIAA Gold and Platinum single with "My Lighthouse," and their album, CHOOSE TO WORSHIP, charted at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart in the first week of its release.
