Worship music is not a career choice. It’s a calling, and it’s one that Shelly E. Johnson has embraced with joyful surrender. She has a gift for writing songs that can lift a congregation closer to the Throne and a heart for serving God that makes her one of the most anointed young worship leaders of her generation.
Well known for her emotional anthem, Power of the Cross,”Shelly has crafted a new collection of songs that are both expansive in their message yet vulnerable and personal in their approach. It’s her ability to share her heart and her love for God in a tender, honest way that makes her songs so ultimately powerful.
Her label debut is a powerful collection of songs helmed by acclaimed Dove Award-winning producer Phil Sillas. The project spotlights Shelly’s gift as a songwriter, vocalist and pianist. Her beautiful voice shines on the poignant ballad and debut single, All Things Beautiful,” which acknowledges life’s baffling challenges yet echoes with the hope of God’s goodness and sovereignty. “The message of this song has been burning in my heart for some time. I become overwhelmed by all the suffering in the world, and when I try to reconcile this in light of the loving and all-powerful God, I am simply left shaking my head, asking ‘Why?’ This song is my response to that desperate question. I can confidently place my hope in Christ because I know His plan is perfect and that one day He will redeem, restore and make all things beautiful.
