Her debut single “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” derived from a simple chorus she released on TikTok, has topped both Billboard radio and iTunes music charts. The song was created from words in 21-year-old Katy’s prayer journal that were written during a global health crisis and in response to her own story of suffering, hope and healing.
Sharing her unwavering belief in God’s ability to heal and the power of prayer, Katy’s debut single connected with audiences around the world who are looking for healing and restoration in a weary and anxious world. The chorus was inspired by one of Katy’s multiple journal entries and has led to the release of her debut album, Jesus Changed My Life which also includes the hit song, “God is In This Story.” The album showcases Katy’s gifts as a songwriter, and her shimmering, emotion-laden voice. This album is loaded with positive grace-filled messages of hope. Her songs address the pressures of life, and she understands that her identity only comes from her relationship with God.
What it Sounds Like “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” is an incredible song for the Church. It’s a beautiful picture of hope in Christ. Give the Lord everything within you. By blessing God, you’ll be overwhelmed by His love and mercy in return. Katy’s passionate vocals set the tone for this exceptional album. So many people can relate to the messages of these songs. The standout songs also include “Jesus Changed My Life,” “God is in This Story,” “Things I Wish I Would’ve Said,” “Jesus, thank You,” and “Living Proof.” All these songs and their dependence on God have perfectly poetic biblical descriptions of how we worship our God of possible and express our dependence on Him as His sons and daughters. Katy’s vocals are so strong and pure.
Spiritual Highlights You'll be blessed by these powerful songs which are all stand-out anthems with convicting declarations including: “I pray for your healing/That circumstances will change/I pray that the fear inside will flee in Jesus’ name.” Let the song’s message of "In Jesus Name (God of Possible)" challenge you to think about your doubts and how Jesus calls you to rely on Him and the power of His resurrection. Remember, He has overcome death and fear. That's the reason to celebrate and give Christians everywhere the faith to believe and tell the world, “I pray for revival/For restoration of faith/I pray that the dead will come to life/In Jesus name.”
“God of Every Story” is based on several biblical truths, including Romans 8:28 and Jeremiah 29:11. Whatever struggle or depression you are facing, you can know that God is with you, always. We can't earn Heaven; it's only through complete surrender to Jesus and putting all our hope in Him can we be saved. Know that being His is enough. We have freedom thanks to the cross of Jesus. Tell others about how Jesus has changed your life. When you abide in His grace, you won’t be the same. His grace takes away anxiety, addiction, guilt, and shame. Know that being His is enough.
A prayer of thankfulness for the comfort and rest offered by Jesus is beautifully captured in “Jesus, Thank You.” Katy beautifully expresses gratefulness, “Thank You for Your goodness, thank You for Your kindness, thank You for all the things You do, Jesus thank You.”
Best Song on the Record “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” is my heart's cry and anthem to sing daily in praise to the Lord, regardless of my circumstances, doubts or worry, singing words to Him like: “I pray for your healing/That circumstances would change/I pray that the fear inside would flee/In Jesus name/I pray that a breakthrough would happen today/I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name.”
“Please” is best described as an upbeat empowering anthem to lift to Jesus and against fear, worry and anxiety. The song is an excellent companion to sing over your life. The moving musical bed of “Living Proof” takes me on an emotional journey that causes me to excitedly sing along with the stirring lyrics every time I hear the song. “Things I Wish I Would’ve Said” is another standout ballad.
Sung in the Person of Jesus, in “Hold On” I’m deeply moved by the lyrics, “Just wait ‘til you see what’s at the end of the road, a new life is about to unfold/Hold on just a little bit longer, I know it’s gonna be okay, these days are gonna make you stronger, there’s purpose in the pain.”
My personal favorite song on the album is “Jesus Changed My Life.” The song has become my personal anthem, and I sing along at the top of my lungs the sincere and emotive lyrics of submission: “You wouldn't let go, You wouldn't leave me/Followed me through darkness and chased me down with mercy/You wouldn't look back, You see beyond my past/There is nothing I have ever done to make You love me less.”
Final Word I absolutely love Katy’s intentionality and complete focus on God's provision in her life. She is a uniquely gifted singer/songwriter with a big voice that is memorable and dynamic, yet intimate. These songs all have biblically-based lyrics that poignantly capture life's simple yet vital messages. I'm really engaged by the emotional vocals and the prayerful lyrics found in these sacred songs. Katy’s vocals will soothe your soul, and the vertical lyrics will direct your attention and focus on Jesus. There are several personal songs that melt my heart, especially “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” “Jesus Changed My Life,” “Living Proof,” “Please,” and “Hold On.” If you like female singers that make you think while you enjoy their catchy and empowering songs, Jesus Changed My Life is for you. I have three young daughters, and this is a captivating album filled with positive biblical messages. This is easily one of my top albums of the year and the album is filled with healing songs in Jesus’ name.
