Singer Josh Baldwin Says New Album is About ‘Seeing the Lord as Our Help’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Singer and worship leader Josh Baldwin is sharing the inspiration behind his latest album, “Made For More,” which features live performances of new tracks.
Baldwin explained to The Christian Beat that “the original plan” for the album was to just do a simple live album with performances of some of his biggest songs. However, after writing “Made For More,” he decided to incorporate new songs into the project.
“It immediately just felt special,” he said of the title track. “It felt like a song that it was going to be hard to wait to get it out…that’s kind of where it pivoted.”
Baldwin continued, “All these songs….I feel like these are some of the songs that I’ve believed in the most that I’ve been a part of, and so that feels special.”
“When I look at the whole album, there’s a thread of just looking back and seeing the Lord as our help and our defense…just looking back at the Lord, how He’s come through over and over. There’s a thread of relying on the Lord.”
In another interview about the release of single “Crowns Down,” the singer-songwriter said, “Over the past year, and even more recently, I’ve been writing a lot of new songs. As we all do, my family and I have experienced peaks and valleys, and we’ve watched the Lord be faithful time and time again. In the valleys, He’s our help, Prince of Peace, Savior, and Friend.”
“In the highest moments, I was reminded how we are created in the image of God, and we were made for so much more than we imagine for ourselves. He really shows up for us in every season – because he’s a faithful Father,” he concluded.
Baldwin elaborated on this while speaking to CCM Magazine, calling “Made For More” “such an important project for me.”
“What I love most about it is that all of these songs came out of different seasons my family and I have been and are still walking through — calling on the Lord to be our help and our Prince of Peace through all of the ups and downs of life,” he explained. “These songs are anthems that I’ve been singing over myself and my family, reminding myself who the Lord is in me and who He’s called me to be. The heart of this album, and my heart for every person who listens, is that they would be reminded that they’ve been redeemed and called by name.”
