Cory Asbury Releases His First Worship Song in More than 5 Years, 'Outsing The Angels'
After more than five years of running from the church and worship ministry, Cory Asbury is returning to his calling as a worshiper with 'Outsing The Angels,' the title track from his forthcoming album, releasing September 18. 'Outsing The Angels' is available on all streaming platforms today.
Known for writing one of the most impactful worship songs of the last decade, the triple-platinum hit “Reckless Love,” Cory Asbury says he spent years running from church, worship ministry, and ultimately his calling. What followed was a season marked by disconnection, cynicism, and the pursuit of lesser things. He realized his wandering was not only affecting his own life but also hurting the community of believers. That season came to a turning point through the honest rebuke and encouragement of fellow artist Forrest Frank. In the midst of feeling broken and spiritually exhausted, Asbury says he encountered God's unconditional love again in a deeply personal way.
Now entering a new season of worship, Asbury shares the first song of his new album. "Outsing the Angels" is an anthem for the ones who are done playing it safe, the ones who break the jar and pour out everything like Mary at His feet. Lungs burning, voice breaking, nothing held back.
"'Outsing the Angels' is a call to outlandish, unruly worship," shares Asbury. "It’s the childlike, almost foolish notion that we, mere mortals, could somehow contend with the very beings created for the sole purpose of worship. Honestly, it’s preposterous. But it’s a reminder that we were once young and wild and full of life and passion before the mundaneness of everyday life dulled our love for Him."
In a full-circle moment, Asbury will join Forrest Frank on his upcoming nationwide tour along with special guest Tori Kelly.
