Multi-platinum songwriter and worship leader Mack Brock releases his debut Centricity Music album, This Is Holy, available now at digital and streaming outlets internationally here. The full-length studio album is a sacred collection of original anthems intended to remind listeners, and Brock's own heart, that there's an all-knowing God who is completely sovereign, trustworthy, and deserving of all praise.
"This is a worship record giving praise to God and talking about who God is, what He's done in my life, and what I want my life to look like. Sometimes I lose focus on the fact that being in the presence of God is a holy thing," shares Brock. "It's something I talk about from stage often -- how worshiping God is a holy act. The fact that we don't have to jump through hoops to go to God is such a special thing. But so often we forget that it's holy."
Reconciling one's present circumstances with God's character can be challenging, but Brock's songs act like a compass, guiding believers toward what is most true. He consistently does this by writing about all the ways he's found God to be faithful across the story of his life.
Lead single "Time and Time Again," playing now on Air1 and many more radio outlets internationally, is a testament to that ethos. Brock penned the hope-affirming original with Josh Baldwin and GRAMMY-nominated Hank Bentley. "The heartbeat of this song is looking back and seeing what the Lord has done," Brock affirms. "It's such an important tool to build our faith for what's next."
This Is Holy also features the anthemic "Just Like You've Always Done," simple, poignant "Be Near" that features GRAMMY-winning Elevation Worship member Jenna Barrientes, triumphant "The Greatest Victory," and "The Best God," which features Brock's nine-year-old daughter, Cyrus, who wrote the innocent selection completely on her own.
"It's probably my favorite song on the record, and I had nothing to do with it," Brock confesses of the offering full of childlike faith. "It's such a sweet, tender, precious way to communicate the way you see God; and to have Cyrus singing on it, obviously, is important to me, because she captures the essence of it."
The strength of Brock's new music rides on the hope he finds in the unfolding story his family is living. The South Carolina native and his wife, Meredith, who serves as the CEO of Proverbs 31 Ministries, have three children. Having discovered the unexpected joy in foster parenting, the couple welcomed their youngest, Zah'mere, by way of fostering and then adoption earlier this year. They also have two biological children, Harvey and Cyrus, and remain a licensed foster family.
