8 July 2022 - NASHVILLE, TN - Multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning artist/songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman drops his latest single, "Don't Lose Heart," today (Provident/Sony Music). Click HERE to listen. Accompanied by a music video, which can be viewed HERE and below, the song follows the release of "Still," which made its debut in May along with his announcement of re-signing with Provident Label Group.
As a core track on his upcoming project, the encouraging “Don’t Lose Heart” is a passionate anthem of hope, inspired by Chapman's own journey through the shallowed valley of grief and loss that he and his family have traveled. “I’ve heard countless stories of others who’ve walked through their own deep dark valleys, and I feel like there are some things I can say from the perspective I have now," he shares. "I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to encourage others to not lose heart and to remind them that we’re gonna make it home…together!”
