NASHVILLE, TENN. (January 31, 2025) – Today, multi-Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling artist Tauren Wells unveils his new single “Thank You For The Cross,” a deeply reverent and soul-stirring worship anthem that reflects on the sacrifice of Jesus and the transformative power of His love. Marking another compelling entry in Wells’ growing catalog of worship-driven music, the song delivers an intimate yet powerful expression of gratitude and surrender. Listen HERE.

“At the center of our redemption story stands the cross and in its shadow the countless souls that have been saved by the Savior that hung upon it. When I think about what that means for me personally, the reality than Jesus truly paid it all for me, I can’t help but worship and thank him. It’s my prayer that this song helps put words around your gratitude for the ultimate act of love and sacrifice Jesus embraced for you,” said Tauren. 

With tender piano melodies and soaring instrumentation, “Thank You For The Cross” builds from a place of quiet reflection into a stirring declaration of faith. The track’s heartfelt lyrics—“Hallelujah to the Lamb / Who took my place, who knows my name”—capture the depth of Wells’ worshipful spirit, inviting listeners into a moment of awe and reverence.

As co-lead pastor of Church of Whitestone in Austin, Texas—a house of worship he founded alongside his wife, Lorna—Wells continues to draw inspiration from his ministry and the power of communal faith. His new music reflects this journey, incorporating deeply personal reflections on God’s grace and the profound peace found in surrender.

Following the massive success of his record-breaking single “Take It All Back,” which has amassed over 108 million global streams, “Thank You For The Cross” joins Tauren’s most recent track, “Making Room,” in showcasing his signature blend of contemporary Christian, gospel, and pop influences. With seven No. 1 hits and over 1.2 billion streams globally, Wells continues to captivate audiences with his soul-stirring lyrics, electrifying performances, and unwavering commitment to faith-driven music.

“Thank You For The Cross” is just the beginning of what promises to be a transformative year for Wells, who is also preparing to release his debut book and expand his impact through his ministry and podcast, The High Note.
