Today, Joel Vaughn releases his new single “Where Grace Begins” available on all digital retail and streaming service providers via DREAM Records. Produced by AJ Pruis (Micah Tyler, Matthew West, Rhett Walker), “Where Grace Begins” shares the story about the heart of God in the midst of turmoil.  The song was recently sent to Christian radio and has secured early adds at KADI/Springfield, MO, WJTL/Lancaster, PA, KBNJ/Corpus Christi, TX, WCLN/Fayetteville, NC, and WECC/Brunswick, GA and WCRH/Hagerstown/PA.

”’Where Grace Begins’ came out of a season in my life where I had a friend who was dealing with addiction and sickness at the same time, and I vividly remember a couple of months ago helping him up and seeing the look in his eyes.

A look of shame and pain and weakness. It took me back to a point in my life where I was filled with shame and pain and weakness. I remember 13 years ago, surrendering all of that, all of my addictions, all of my bad habits, all of the pain at the foot of the cross.

When I got real with myself and got real with some trusted friends about what I was really dealing with, I realized that I couldn’t change my habits enough. I couldn’t outwork Jesus (if that’s even a thing) and I couldn’t make myself good enough if I wanted to.

I want to remind you today that if you’re in a season where things are difficult, where things are tough, where you can’t seem to let go of that pain, that addiction, that same cycle again and again, I encourage you to lay it at the feet of the cross where grace begins.” – Joel Vaughn

Written with GRAMMY-nominated, two-time Dove Award-winning “Producer of the Year” Ian Eskelin (who also produced the track), the single is Warren’s testimony in song.

“It’s the same testimony as the Prodigal Son,” shares Warren. “I had a season in my life where I was running away from God, His calling on my life and every good thing He had given me. I am so thankful that in His grace, that no matter where we have been or what we have done, He welcomes us back home. I wrote this song to celebrate our gracious and patient Heavenly Father who celebrates the return of runaways.”

In addition to “Come Back Home” and its companion, CCM Magazine-premiered video, Warren has released the CCM-premiered “My Heart Dances” and “Mile Marker 22,” the latter song hitting No. 1 for four consecutive weeks on God’s Music Today.
