“I hope this helps open people’s eyes to the presence and beauty of God that surrounds us in both our most ordinary, mundane moments AND our most broken moments,” shares Ellie Holcomb. “I wrote the bridge of this song about my mom. She didn’t grow up in church at all, but one day in 7th grade, while a group of girls were chatting in the hallway, one of her friends walked away. My mom followed her and asked if she was okay, and Mom’s friend responded, “I’m okay, I just love Jesus and I don’t think it’s very loving to talk about other people behind their backs, but I knew I’d be joining in if I stayed there.” My mom got two responses: first, “Who is Jesus? I’ve never heard anyone talk about him like that?” and second, “Will you be my best friend, you’re amazing?!” Through this friend and her family, my mother met the living God and her whole world went from black and white to 3D and COLOR.
Holcomb continues, “I am so grateful for God’s love and how He meets us in our tears, in our heartbreak, in the golden sunrise each morning, in the field of wildflowers, in the laughter of a friend we know, in our darkest nights. I am so grateful that truth is not just black and white. Truth is embodied in the person of Jesus, a person of color, who walked into this broken and colorful world, and broke for us so that we could know the beauty of being broken and loved.” Canyon’s first radio single is “I Don’t Want To Miss It,” which is currently in the Top 35 on the Billboard Airplay chart and in the Top 25 on the AC Indicator chart with 33 stations playing the song. The song has 864k global audio streams to date and the official video has over 76,000 views on YouTube.
