Singer/songwriter Leanna Crawford released a new song and music video today. The empowering message of “Before I Knew Jesus” (Provident Label Group/Sony Music) is the singer/songwriter’s latest new music since her 2020 self-titled EP, which included “Truth I’m Standing On” and “Mean Girls” , and is the first of new songs to come.
“This song is about God’s faithfulness every day of my life,” shares Leanna Crawford. “I grew up in the church and at four years old I asked Jesus into my heart. In every season since that day, God has met me in different ways right where I am.
She continues: “I saw the most evidence of his faithfulness in the last few years, especially when I moved to Nashville. I thought everything would be easy and I quickly realized that wasn’t the case. I faced spiritual and mental attacks, compared myself to others, and went through periods of severe anxiety. But Jesus appeared every day, and He continues to show me new areas of His faithfulness in my life and how much He loves me. I hope that when someone hears this song, whether they have known Jesus for a long time or if they are new, there will be no return to the day before Jesus.
The melodic “Before I Knew Jesus” shares: “Before I knew Jesus, there was nothing like a second chance / Good was never good enough / But he set me free to see that I don’t have not to measure myself / Now I know freedom, now I know hope, now I love that will never let go / Forever forgiven, forever I am changed and there is no going back to the day before I know Jesus.
Paying homage to his upbringing in the Pacific Northwest, the music video was filmed near his hometown, just outside of Seattle, Washington. Listen to the new song HERE and watch the video HERE.
