The album is slated for an Aug. 21 release on Motown and was recorded live at the Redemption Church in Greenville, South Carolina. In a statement shared with The Christian Post, Cobbs discussed how she put her new album together.
“They are what we call songs of the Lord. I can be leading worship or getting dressed for worship and a song will simply fall on me,” Cobbs said. “Some songs are just moment songs, or maybe just four or five words will come, then I’ll go home and finish it.”
Cobbs’ first single, “Jesus Saves” is making its rounds on the airwaves and she recently explained the inspiration behind it.
“God spoke to me and gave me peace. Not just spiritual salvation; He saved me from the rejection and depression I used to feel,” Cobbs explained. “Jesus can save you from whatever it is you’re being overtaken by. That’s what this song is about.”
Cobbs commented further about the song in an interview with Vibe Vixen.
“When I wrote the song, I was kind of torn because it just repeats two words,” Cobbs previously told the magazine. “But when I thought about it, it’s the basis of what we believe; that Jesus saves no matter what your situation is, whether needing salvation in general or needing to be saved from anything.
“My testimony is I battled depression and rejection in 2007 and it was very strong. I was ministering at my church every week but I’d go home depressed and rejected,” Cobbs added. “I needed Jesus to save me from that and He absolutely did.”
