[Album] What I Know To Be True – Cheri Keaggy
Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter and trailblazing worship artist Cheri Keaggy returns with What I Know To Be True today, June 3. Co-produced by Keaggy and GRAMMY, Dove and ASCAP Golden Note Award-winning guitarist/vocalist Phil Keaggy, What I Know To Be True features 15 songs penned by Cheri Keaggy.
âThis new album marks the first time I have co-produced with my uncle, Phil Keaggy,â Cheri Keaggy says. âHe has been so supportive through the years, playing on a few of my projects and inviting me to perform with him. Because these songs are so personal and close to my heart, Phil was the right person to help bring them to life.â
âThis record celebrates lifeâs joys and sorrows, and the seasons God walks us through,â she continues. âThree-and-a-half years ago I received a call from my sister that my father had taken his life. None of us could have imagined he would make that choice. For a long time, I couldnât think about writing or recording again. But we grieve not without hope, and my journey has been framed through the lens of the Hope I have in Jesus.â
âThis new music is proof of how God heals broken hearts,â Keaggy adds. âA transformation has happened and continues to happen as I place my life in His hands, trusting that He is good. He is writing a bigger story.â
