Renowned worship leader and songwriter Pat Barret twill release his third album, Shelter, on October 13th (Bowyer & Bow / Capitol CMG). Featuring 12 studio tracks, the album is now available for preorder along with the new song “Scatter.” Click below to watch the live video for “Scatter” premiering today on YouTube.

“‘Scatter’ is a declaration of who we are in Christ and what that means for our lives regardless of the circumstance, difficulty or the situation we find ourselves in,” shares Pat Barrett. “If we are in Christ we are a new creation and we belong to the light and it’s amazing how darkness flees when the light has come up.”

The Atlanta-based artist has found joy in creating these new songs, included the recently released “Better Hands,” that is like finding freedom in surrender. On Shelter, he mixes worshipful moments with simple, joyful songs highlighting the power of gratitude and the fleeting nature of time.

“These songs have helped me, and I always hope my songs can be a help to others,” Barrett remarks of Shelter’s songs. “I hope people have a sense of connection with something way bigger than themselves; and in all the day-to-day rustlings, recognize there’s a bigger story happening. Honestly, I hope this album puts the attention in the right place.”
