Acoustic worship set · 30-second snippet

An acoustic version of “How Bad,” filmed live. I invited a small gathering of about 70 people from addiction recovery ministries to come and worship with us. These are the people who really mean it when they sing “God, don’t let me forget how bad I need you!”

Lyric video

The story

I spent so many years telling myself I didn’t need anyone. Most of those years were spent in heavy addiction and darkness.

The day that lie broke is when I gave my life to Jesus and realized I couldn’t make it without Him. To this day, that has never changed and never will.

This song is not just a song, it’s a reminder there will never be a point in life where I can afford to forget HOW BAD I need God!

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

John 15:5 · NIV

The first song from the album Death Never Stood A Chance (May 2027).
