GRAMMY-nominated songstress Anne Wilson releases her transformative feature track “Living Water” for the upcoming film Jesus Revolution. Arriving just days before celebrating the GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles as a first-time nominee for her debut album My Jesus, “Living Water” finds Wilson’s powerful vocals leading listeners on an ethereal quest to find true meaning. The accompanying visual, premiering exclusively on Facebook today, spotlights key clips from the film that help convey the power behind reconciliation and the peace found while surrendering to your faith.
“I love to create and write songs, especially ones that truly speak to me,” shares Wilson. “After watching the new Jesus Revolution movie, I was deeply inspired by its message and its ability to reignite my own faith journey, which led us to write ‘Living Water.’ I hope it’s a testament to the transformative power of music and I pray that it will touch your heart in a profound way.”
Tapped by Lionsgate/Kingdom Story Company to pen the digital single, Wilson enlisted the help of renowned songwriters Matthew West and Jeff Pardo to write the feature track. The highly anticipated Jesus Revolution film starring Kelsey Grammer, Joel Courtney and Kimberly Williams-Perry will be hitting theaters nationwide on Feb. 24.
The artist with “unmistakable strength and unique country flair” (American Songwriter) is set to celebrate a big night of accomplishments at the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards taking place this Sunday, Feb. 5 at the Crypto.com Arena in LA. Making her mark with her first recognition from the Academy, the milestone achievement was made by the 20-year-old vocalist in near-record timing, who transcended on the scene just 18 months ago with her “deeply personal breakout ballad” (Billboard) and now RIAA GOLD certified single, “My Jesus.” Not only was the Christian hitmaker recognized for a debut album (My Jesus), Wilson also represents the only female in the highly-revered Best Contemporary Christian Album category.
Lyrics:
This goes out to every outcast
To the “just don’t quite fit in”
Every wrong-way, runaway rebel
So ashamed of where you’ve been
This goes out to every searcher
Trying to fill that empty space
Well, your searching days are over now
Everything’s about to change
Come on down to the living water
Waves of mercy washing over you
No more strangers, only sons and daughters
Come down to the living water
And rise up new
Have you heard about a man named Jesus?
He’s the way, the truth, the life
Stretched out His arms on a rugged cross
And paid every sinner’s price
So when you’re tired of all your running
You don’t have to run no more
You can leave it all behind you
Just believe and be reborn
Come on down to the living water
Waves of mercy washing over you
No more strangers, only sons and daughters
Come down to the living water
And rise up new
Oh, this is your invitation
Oh, no more lost and alone
Oh, this is your invitation
Hear your Father saying
“Welcome home”
See that cross up on the steeple?
Hear that sweet forgiveness song?
Come and join the Jesus people
This is where your heart belongs
(Oh, come on) Come on down to the living water
Waves of mercy washing over you
No more strangers, only sons and daughters
Come down to the living water
And rise up new (Rise up new)
Come down to the living water
And rise up new
Come down to the living water
And rise up new
