“The “I Love You” record is special to me because it is a culmination of me totally receiving God’s love. I’ve grown to understand that He loves me as I am, but loves me enough not to let me stay as I am.

These songs have taken time to record and write, and I believe it will reignite our desire for love and God’s love. Unfortunately, many people are hopeless and don’t have high expectations because of past trauma, but I promise you, this love record will reconnect you to God’s love. I am excited about my collaborations with PJ Morton and D Smoke.

Also, with all of my sisters and my children, Krista, Wozy, and Zaya, being a part of this record, it feels like love to me, and I pray that’s what people feel when they hear it,” shares Erica Campbell.

In anticipation to the “I LOVE YOU” album release, fans have been feasting on other songs released from the album.

Thank God for saving me.” That’s not a cliché.

That’s real talk, and I wanted to put it in a song as a reminder of all God has done because He’s done so much. I hope this song makes you remember all He’s done in your life. I hope it encourages you to reflect on the goodness of God, the greatness of God, the mercy of God, the favor of God, and the power of God, and then celebrate that goodness. He sho’ has been good,” she adds.

Gateway Worship is the primary worship expression for Dallas-Fort Worth-based Gateway Church, one of the largest and most influential churches in North America, ministering to over 40,000 attendees across multiple campuses and tens of thousands more online each week. Known for songs like “Oh The Blood,” “The More I Seek You,” “Revelation Song,” “Defender,” “Stand in Your Love,” “Greater Than,” “Deliverance,” and many more, the Gateway Worship collective returns today with its newest project, “I Need You” featuring Jessie Harris.

“The Mystery of Christ” is a live project that joined together worship leaders and thought leaders from the US, UK, and South America. Recorded live in Nashville, the new album from REVERE is a response to the act of worship having become more of a growth catalyzer in the modern Church than a holy act of surrender.

REVERE seeks to bring worshippers back to the catalytic agency of the glory of God, where human philosophies and popularity do not take center stage but instead point to the source of our reverence.

“The human mind wants to grasp, understand, and have everything in its control,” says REVERE’s leader, Gilbert Nanlohy. “Yet Christ in his mystery confounds human efforts time and time again. Just when we think we are starting to figure God out, we are faced with the critical reminder that his paths are beyond tracing out.”

The artists involved in the project are Laura Hackett Park, Mitch and Steph Wong, Carrington Gaines, Phil Thompson, Julia Vitória, David and Nicole Binion, Becky Collazos, Joseph Espinoza, Gabi Sampaio, Gabriel Guedes, Leeland Mooring, May Angeles, Becca Folkes, Thrive Worship, Geoffrey Golden, and Mark Alan Schoolmeesters.

The night of the recording also included a powerful sermon from John Bevere on the fear of the Lord, which is featured on the album.

Additional messages from Addison and Juli Bevere, Mitch and Steph Wong, Laura Hackett Park, Jason Upton, Jack Mooring, and Joel Muddamalle are available on REVERE’s YouTube channel. “The Mystery of Christ” is sonically intricate and passionate, yet accessible and magnetic so listeners actively join in the act of worship.

With their new album, REVERE hopes to help refocus the Church back to Christ by creating a Jesus-focused experience for every tribe, tongue, and nation.
