Christian singer-songwriter David Coate has released “Inside Out (Psalm 139)” to Christian radio.

At the heart of “Inside Out (Psalm 139)” is one of Scripture’s most personal descriptions of God’s intimate knowledge of His creation. Coate builds the song around the Psalmist’s recognition that God knows each person completely and remains present wherever they go.

For Coate, Psalm 139 speaks directly to fundamental questions about human worth, identity, purpose and uniqueness. The song reflects the Christian worldview that creation is purposeful and that every individual bears a significance rooted not in achievement or circumstance, but in being intentionally created by God. It also points to Christ as the ultimate expression of God’s love, connecting the believer’s identity and worth with the sacrifice of Jesus.

The song’s connection to Psalm 139 extends beyond the music. Its cover art was created years before the song was written by Coate’s daughter, artist Allison Coate. The image comes from a four-foot-by-four-foot tapestry titled “Psalm 139,” originally created as part of a Psalms-themed collection commissioned by a university in Ohio. Every strand of yarn in the piece was hand knitted, giving the artwork a tangible connection to the Psalm’s description of God knitting each person together in the womb.

“Inside Out (Psalm 139)” continues a ministry in music that has spanned decades for Coate. Based in the Boston area, he has toured nationally with the David Coate Group, performing at churches, colleges, prisons, outreach events and Christian music festivals including Creation Festival and SoulFest. He also served for 19 years as Worship Pastor at North River Church in Pembroke, Massachusetts, where he continues to serve as a volunteer.

An accomplished producer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, Coate owns and operates Turning Point Recording Studio and has produced and arranged music for numerous artists and projects. His music has received national radio airplay throughout his career, with his song “A Million Ways” debuting at #1 on Christian Radio Chart’s weekly chart for the week of June 15, 2026. Coate continues to write, record, produce and minister while working on his thirteenth album project.

With “Inside Out (Psalm 139),” Coate offers Christian radio listeners a Scripture-centered reminder of a deeply personal truth: God knows us completely, created us intentionally, and loves us from the inside out.
