Multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning artist/songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman drops his latest single, “Don’t Lose Heart” (Provident/Sony Music).
I’m really excited to share this new song that I pray will be an anthem of hope and encouragement! There’s no way I’d be where I am on this journey without the people God has put around me who have cheered me on, encouraged me in the dark valleys and reminded me that I’m not alone. We desperately need each other on this journey, now more than ever, and I hope this song will be an anthem of hope and encouragement that we can sing to each other and help each other remember that God is with us and we are gonna make it home…together! – Steven Curtis Chapman

As a core track on his upcoming project, the encouraging “Don’t Lose Heart” is a passionate anthem of hope, inspired by Chapman’s own journey through the shallowed valley of grief and loss that he and his family have traveled. “I’ve heard countless stories of others who’ve walked through their own deep dark valleys, and I feel like there are some things I can say from the perspective I have now,” he shares. “I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to encourage others to not lose heart and to remind them that we’re gonna make it home…together!”
