Recorded live at the Cascade Theater in Redding, Calif., “If The Lord (Live)” is a joyful song of remembrance of all the Lord has done as we live our lives. Based on Psalm 34 (“I will praise the Lord at all times – His praise will always be on my lips”), the song leads listeners to praise the Lord at all times, with thankfulness, in response to the faithfulness of God and all that He does.

Says Zachary, "While recording this song I felt overwhelmed by just how good the Lord has been to me. I was filled with deep joy in remembering how much He has saved me from and how far I’ve come with Him."

Born and raised in Spring, Texas, Zachary is one the newest member of the Bethel Music and currently leads worship in Houston, Texas, at The Woodlands Methodist Church. She believes that worship is the place where we belong, and her prayer is that she would help lead people to the feet of Jesus.

Their forthcoming compilation album promises to be a milestone project, featuring a collection of live worship songs that reflect its mission to create an atmosphere of worship that brings people closer to God.
