Singer Jordan Smith electrified the judges and audience alike with a powerhouse voice that crowned him “The Voice” Season 9 champion in 2015.
That same year, Smith became the “best-selling artist in the history of The Voice,” but he refuses to take credit for his wild successes. He’s always made an effort to put God center stage, both through singing worship songs to the masses and speaking openly about his Christian faith.
Smith recently shared that he’s “returning” his gift back to God through the release of his first Christian single and album.
“It’s really special for me to take this moment and say back to the Lord, let everything I am declare your glory, to help tell your story, the story of your Gospel,” he told the Christian Post. “Let everything I am point the world back to you.”
After signing a deal with Provident Label Group/Sony Music, the 27-year-old has dropped the highly anticipated Christian single, “Great You Are.”
Since the beginning, Smith’s faith has been the “DNA of his music,” even when competing in the pop mainstream music area; but now, he’s ready to share his passion for Jesus in a bolder way.
“When we wrote this song…I knew it was special,” said Smith. “But I didn’t take a moment and stop and think about how special it was for me as an artist and the journey that I’ve been on since ‘The Voice.’”
“The song itself just says, ‘Everything I am I lay it down here at your feet, and I’m returning this to you,’” he explained of the new single.
