World-renowned worship leader, best-selling author and Hope Unlimited Church Sr. Pastor Darlene Zschech releases In Jesus’ Name: A Legacy of Worship and Faith, Feb. 10, from Integrity Music and with Provident Distribution. The 14-song album is a celebration of Zschech’s ministry and features such well-known anthems as “Shout to the Lord,” “Worthy Is the Lamb,” “The Potter’s Hand” and “In Jesus’ Name.”
Also included on the recording is Zschech’s song, “My Highest Hope,” which will go to radio this month. Written during her recent battle with cancer, the song and this album are a declaration that despite what our circumstances are, we have hope and victory in Jesus’ name. Here’s a sample:
“Pray to the Risen One
My highest Hope
I trust You with my life
Lord over every fear
Your love is holding me.”
“I know that His love rests upon me like a warm, thick blanket that makes me feel so comforted and safe no matter what is happening,” Zschech blogged on Dec. 31, 2014. “As I put my hope in Him, His love will engulf me, and I will be stolen away to a place no one else can go, because it’s a place reserved for Him and me. There is a place in Christ designed just for you too. I know that by His grace I can encourage others to seek first the kingdom of God, with all they are, for evermore. Every day matters.”
