“This is an album I’ve always wanted to record. When I decided to choose these songs, I wanted to include the beautiful, familiar hymns I grew up singing in church,” says Underwood. “There are several songs I’ve performed in the past, like ‘Softly And Tenderly,’ ‘How Great Thou Art,’ and ‘Amazing Grace,’ that mean so much to me and I knew right away that we had to record for the album. This music has shaped who I am as a person and is the foundation of my career as an artist. I feel so fortunate to be able to share these songs with generations of people who love them as much as I do, as well as others who may be experiencing them for the first time.”
