Typical of Lawrence's diverse range of musical styles, the new 14-track album features mid-tempo anthems, open hearted ballads and outright songs of praise. The assortment of percussion and urban sounds, multiple guitars, acoustic ukulele, piano and orchestral arrangements take the listener on a flight of faith, supported with carefully constructed vocal arrangements.
The new album follows the success of Lawrence Hancock's previous album, 'Undefeated' which was voted in 5th place in the LTTM Album of the Year Award 2025. The song, 'Make Me Greater,' was selected as the Worldwide Songwriting Awards Best Gospel Song and by the Indies Music Channel Awards for the same. The Indie Music Channel Awards also recognized Lawrence for Best Gospel Artist. The Elite Music Awards recognized the album in 3rd place for Album of The Year (all genres) and 3rd place for Producer of The Year. "I'm so grateful that the journey to give God glory with these gifts has been recognized and continues", exclaims Lawrence.
"No words capture the awe of God at this point", he continues. "The challenges... the triumphs He's brought me through. Answering the call to make sure the music sharpened the aim was as exhilarating as anything I have experienced. Grateful that God trusts me with music to deliver the message of Him to us."
Lawrence continues that he hopes people will "curate these songs into your every day lives to be uplifted and encouraged to get closer and go further in God. I pray that the impact provides space to listen, share, and care enough that the impact grows to the glory of God!"
One song, 'Always By My Side', expresses gratitude for God's ever-present place in our lives. "I'm chasing after You, What else can I do? Just give me a sign. The comfort of knowing You're always by my side."
"Trusting God is often approached in parallel with how we trust humans... with skepticism. We increase our confidence in trust through performance. This song creates the space for the listener to be encouraged to matriculate from skepticism to relying on God through signs and wonders. The impact paves the way for the listener to enhance their relationship with God by recognizing his presence daily!"
This multiple guitar featured composition provides an acoustic space that provides the intimate vocal arrangement the space to resound loud and clear. As the lyrics of 'Always By My Side' provide concise lyrics of gratefulness and trust. The lyrics further provide assurance for the listener that faith in God produces all things well. This results in a constant purist of God’s presence resulting fullness of joy as long as He is by our side!
The acoustic ukulele driven 'As Long As You're Near,' creates a unique placement for the lyrics to resonate with the listener. The movement transition provides musically that prompts the listener to intensify their faith walk as God's presence is evoked. The vision to connect the audience to trust God is accomplished in this emotional praise-oriented anthem!
Meanwhile 'Full Attention' sees west coast rap elements meet a modern rap beat to create the ideal urban evangelism moment. The lyrics are personal, thought provoking, and affectionately placed for an internal shift the listener can’t foretell. After running from God's way, 'Full Attention' provides a clean break from the old to embrace new life in Him. This song engages everyone who has been partially engaged and know that God has been pulling them closer for more!
