Multi-award-winning artist and songwriter Matt Maher releases his new single “Leaning” accompanied by a live performance video featuring Lizzie Morgan.
An honest yet poignant look at life’s toughest seasons and how Jesus tells us that we’re not alone, the powerful song’s chorus shares: “What a fellowship, what a joy divine what a priceless gift / God I’m yours and You are mine, Let my restless soul be still and know I am leaning on your everlasting arms.”
He continues, “You’re praying out of desperation or gratitude and you find out what your support structure looks like – friends, family, loved ones who come around you hold you up. They become real signposts for the face of Jesus. But what about those who have no one? What does Jesus have to say to them? He says, ‘I no longer call you strangers, I call you friends. This is what I find so compelling about the friendship of God and the message of Christianity. Life is not a stacked tower of personal achievement, pride, egos, success, or vanity…it’s extending to others what Jesus says in the scriptures. ‘In this world, you will have trouble. But you are not alone. You can put your weight on me.’”
“Leaning,” which is the first of many new songs to be released from Maher this year, will be heard live along with many of his previous hits while he’s on the road throughout 2022. With plans to tour Europe with Rend Collective followed by appearing at numerous summer and fall festivals, more tour dates continue to be added, so be sure to visit his tour page for the latest information.
