Dove Award-winning Gospel singer/songwriter Lynda Randle and Kimberly Schlapman, a founding member of GRAMMY®, Emmy, ACM, CMA, and AMA Award-winning country supergroup Little Big Town, have collaborated for the first time to deliver a soulfully-impassioned new rendition of the beloved American spiritual “Give Me Jesus.”The song is the second single from Randle’s forthcoming studio set, Pilgrim Journey, and was produced by GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Cindy Morgan. It is available from Gaither Music Group and is distributed by Capitol Christian Music Group and Universal Music. Among the seminal tracks on the highly anticipated album, “Give Me Jesus” encapsulates one of Randle’s primary missions: to encourage unity and reconciliation while extending the Hope of Christ to all people.
“The message of ‘Give Me Jesus,'” Randle continues, “is so important to me.” “Even though the world appears to have a lot to offer and there are so many things vying for our attention, Jesus is the answer at the end of the day.” My parents didn’t have a lot of material things to give us when we were growing up, but they did give us Jesus. His love has carried me through my life and will continue to do so until I see Him face to face.”
Pilgrim Journey, which will be released on February 11th, combines Gospel, soul, blues, and Americana soundscapes with Randle’s signature warm, rich vocals on new arrangements of popular Inspirational classics and spirituals, as well as original selections. Aside from “Give Me Jesus,” album highlights include “I Want Jesus To Walk With Me,” a duet with GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and producer Tommy Sims (Eric Clapton, Sting); the debut single “Plenty Good Room,” which has landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday Christian and Healin Blues playlists, among others; and the stirring “Motherless Child Medley,” a fan-favorite from Randle’
