Hannah Kerr releases new music with “Same God (Acoustic).” Earlier this year (Mar 12), Kerr first released “Same God,” which was written by Kerr, Emma Klein, and Hunter Leath. GRAMMY-winning songwriter/producer Josh Kerr (“God Only Knows”) produced the single. These are challenging times for countless people, but in the true spirit of hope, Kerr found inspiration that shines through the song, and even the artwork reflects it.
“Same God” has a clear message. “This song, that came out of a Zoom call, is a cry from a heart that is broken, a person who doesn’t have it all together, a Christian who still has doubts and fears,” said Kerr. “But most importantly, this song is about God, who loves us and reminds us of the truth when we need it the most. He’s the same God, and He loves us no matter what!”
“Same God (Acoustic)” is available now to download or stream.

The Color is pleased to announce the release of their new multitrack single titled, “Call Of The Wild” (DREAM Records). Produced by Carter Frodge (Joel Vaughn, Tenth Avenue North), their new song speaks of the incredible nature of God and reminds us to peel ourselves away from distraction, and live in awe and wonder of Him. This marks the group’s second release of 2021. How this song came to fully exist, speaks to the overall theme of the past year and a half.
“We recorded this song on March 16, 2020, which is my birthday,” explains band member, James Shiels. “We had flown Carter and his wife up to our hometown, up in Canada, to record the single and it was right at that time that the world was shutting down, due to Covid-19. The next day, right after they had flown home, the border between the USA and Canada was shut down. It was a wild time. A year later, on March 16, 2021 (once again falling on my birthday) we were finally able to make the music video for Call Of The Wild.”
The song also features a remix by Neon Feather and a music video that was directed and produced by The Film Collective.

Will You be my light, when I cannot see When I can’t take another step, Lord, would You carry me When I’ve lost my fight, will You be my strength Will You set me a table in the presence of my enemies
I shall not want, I shall not want Oh my soul’s got a shepherd in the valley and I shall not want I shall not want, I shall not want Cause my cup’s running over, running over and I shall not want
I will lift my eyes to where my help comes from And I won’t be afraid of the shadow cause I’ve seen the sun No I will not stop, when the way gets hard Cause the green only grows in the valley and that’s where You are
I got goodness and I got mercy Hallelu, glory hallelujah I got goodness and I got mercy Hallelu, glory hallelujah I got goodness and I got mercy Hallelu, glory hallelujah The Good Shepherd leads me to the waters Hallelu, glory hallelujah He anoints me, anoints me with His oil Hallelu, glory hallelujah Now my cup is, my cup is running over Hallelu, glory hallelujah I won’t fear, no, fear no evil Hallelu, glory hallelujah I will dwell in His house forever Hallelu, glory hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelu, glory hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelu, glory hallelujah
When this life is over, I’m gonna live again Gonna trade this cross for a crown No, this is not the end When You call my name, I will take my rest There’s a mansion in glory and You’re gonna meet me there
I shall not want, I shall not want He will wipe every tear from my eyes I shall not want I shall not want, I shall not want I’ll be home in His presence forever I shall not want For the Lord is my shepherd And I shall not want
‘My Only Helper’, a song by Clarion Clarkewoode, was written during a momentous and unforgettable crisis in 2016. His mum suddenly became unwell and it appeared all hope was getting lost fast. The hopeless situation worsened, as some friends and family were unreachable; and others surprisingly were judgemental of his mum’s predicaments – imminent heartbreak was so close to home.
Clarion felt so alone; and was sore afraid of the unknown. His despair was almost beyond repair. Shedding uncontrollable tears by night and yet showing a brave heart and face by day became his second nature. This hypocrisy was a worse evil.
Keeping his faith and confidence in the person and character of God whilst meditating on Psalms 121:1-2 is what pulled him through – God came through for Clarion in a mighty way!
To quote Bishop Noel Jones, Clarion believes God created a situation for revelation and manifestation of help when he needed it most and he (Clarion) called God ‘My Only Helper’.
