Bethel Music artist and gold-selling singer-songwriter Josh Baldwin released “Narrow Road,” the first single from his upcoming album. The moving song conveys the message of faith that God is with you on every journey, no matter how difficult. The road may be difficult to follow at times, but the challenge adds to the reward. Along with the single, Baldwin has released an official music video for “Narrow Road,” which was shot on stage in Nashville.

“Narrow Road” is about those times in life when the journey feels lonely and difficult,” Baldwin explains. “When you follow the Lord, it is not going to be an easy road.” It takes faith and trust in him. It is important to remember that He is with us every step of the way. He will never abandon us, and we will never be alone. The narrow road has a greater reward, and it is the road that scripture calls us to.”

The lead single from Baldwin’s highly anticipated fifth studio album, Where the Glory Is, which will be released on October 21 via Bethel Music, is “Narrow Road.”

The album follows the critically acclaimed Evidence which debuted at No. 41 on the Top Christian Albums Chart and whose title track reached No. 7 on the US Hot Christian Songs chart.

Josh Baldwin is a songwriter and worship leader who joined the Bethel Music Collective in 2014.
