NASHVILLE, TENN. (FEBRUARY 06, 2023) sixstepsrecords/Capitol CMG's Passion has released their newest song, "I've Witnessed It," which debuted at Passion Conference last month. For more than two decades, Passion has continued to unite students in worship, prayer and justice, gathering a generation ignited for the fame and renown of Jesus. Led by Passion's Melodie Malone, the song connected immediately with more than 30,000 students in attendance across two events over the New Year holiday. Click here to listen to the truth in this anthem “I've Witnessed It.”
 

“We don’t often use the word 'witness' in our everyday vernacular, and it is my hope that we reinstate a bit of the meaning it carries in this song," shares Passion's Melodie Malone. "Eugene Peterson says 'a witness is never the center but only the person who points to or names what is going on at the center…' If that is true then not only are we all witnesses but it’s why we were created — to give praise and honor and glory to the only one worthy of all of it, Jesus Christ.” 

 

This year's conference was held in two locations. The first gathering in Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX at Dickies Arena, followed by Passion's home base in Atlanta, GA at State Farm Arena. In addition to today's release of "I've Witnessed It," the live performance video from Atlanta has premiered on YouTube. Click below to watch this powerful performance captured.

 

Malone continues, "We sing to remind our souls of the character of the one we worship and to help resuscitate a faith in desperate need of hope.”

 

Ushering in the writing, recording and leading of some of the most recognizable and unforgettable worship anthems of this generation, Passion has two RIAA Gold Certified Singles ("Even So Come" and "One Thing Remains") and more than 3.2 billion global streams. Following the release of this new song, Passion will have a new live album that was recorded during both events releasing March 2023.
