Aaron Williams, songwriter–interpreter and worship veteran, is set to premiere his highly anticipated debut feature film, The Hope of Christ, 5 August. The Worship Initiative release was produced by Williams and Alan Thomas (joan) and features 10 pop-focused live worship selections extolling the boundless grace, love and rest offered by the Savior.
“The overall theme that inspired this project is encapsulated in ‘Abide,’” shares Williams. “We live in a world that often makes us feel like the only way forward is to hustle, achieve and prove our worth. Jesus offers a different way of life – one that still leads to fruitfulness, but does so from a place of acceptance and life-giving relationship. To remain is to learn to live in dependence on God for all things. It is standing on the truth that we are loved no matter what we achieve and no matter how we fail.
“I want The Hope of Christ to help people deepen that kind of lasting relationship with God, one that lingers in His presence and worships Him extravagantly in the moments of everyday life,” Williams adds.
The album’s next single, “No Height No Depth,” available later this week, is a deeply personal track for Williams. “I wrote it this spring after almost losing a close friend to mental health issues,” he reveals. “With rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide at an all-time high in our society, I wanted to offer a song that would help people give a voice to worship during these times of life. If we are going to worship Him sincerely during times of difficulty and struggle, we need songs with appropriate language for those times. “No Height No Depth” aims to honestly express where we are, while grounding us in God’s unchanging love.
