Anne Wilson on New Album: ‘Every Song Speaks To Believing What The Lord Says About You’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Anne Wilson recently released her debut album, My Jesus, and is opening up about how a tragic accident brought her closer to the Lord.
“In 2017 my older brother, Jacob, passed away in a car accident at the age of 23,” Wilson said in an interview with The Christian Post. “That was such a hard season in my life. He was my best friend, and I loved him with everything in me. We were so close and he died tragically in a car accident and died on impact.”
The accident was devastating, but Wilson says her family’s faith helped them get through the hard time.
“Instead of turning from Him, we chose to walk closer to Him through that time,” she shared. “So I became on fire for the Lord and we just chose to trust Him. We saw the Lord do a lot of really incredible things and [He] was just so faithful and kind to me and my family and it was such a sweet season.”
Her brother’s death also drew her toward worshiping God through music. When he mother heard her singing and playing piano at home, she asked Wilson to sing at the funeral, which started her musical journey.
“When he passed away, I just wanted to worship God and I found myself, instead of turning to medication or alcohol or something else, it was like I wanted to turn to the Lord for my medicine,” the singer explained. “When I needed comfort, or when I needed just to be comforted, [I’d] go straight to the piano and worship and sing.”
Wilson describes herself as being “on fire for God,” and encourages others to pursue a close relationship with God.
“It’s really easy to fall into the ways of the world and give in to temptations, and to peer pressure, and to let the enemy lead you down that path,” she explained. “But for those that stand for truth, and when you stand in who you are as a child of God, and you pursue the Lord, you’re going to be blessed abundantly for that.”
Wilson’s faith is part of all the songs on her new album.
“Every song speaks to believing what the Lord says about you, rather than what the world says, and standing for truth, and really stepping up and not being lukewarm, not just calling yourself a Christian but actually being in love with the Lord and seeking Him that way,” Wilson shared.
