Can you believe it’s been a year since we released “Only Grace”? I still remember the first time we played it at church. We were still meeting at the Boys & Girls Club in Clifton, NJ. The first time I introduced the song was just on an acoustic guitar. No drums or bass or piano. If I remember correctly, it was my wife and I who sang it.

"It was the music." The music. Music has this amazing way of bringing people together for the same reason. People that may or may not ever be in the same situation or the same room together. Music tears walls down and engages you

Can you believe "Only Grace" has already been out for 3 months? It seems like it's been so much longer! We've actually been playing and singing the song in our church for over a year. In that year, not only has the song grown and changed, but we as a church have grown and changed too.
