With more than half-a-billion streams, over 4 million albums sold, and 8 GMA Dove Awards to their credit, Selah\u2019s Allan Hall, Amy Perry and Todd Smith have earned a reputation for not only delivering compelling new anthems but also for reviving great hymns of faith. With their soaring harmonies and distinctive lead vocals, they have breathed new life into timeless musical treasures that have ministered to believers for generations. They have also populated culture with such enduring hits as \u201cPress On,\u201d \u201cWonderful, Merciful Savior,\u201d \u201cYou Raise Me Up,\u201d \u201cHope of the Broken World\u201d and \u201cAll My Praise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The members of Selah are so grateful to hear how God has used their music to impact others, and they treasure the times when fans share that with them. \u201cWe get letters and emails and people telling us after shows that they\u2019ve let us into some of their darkest moments and I think it\u2019s because we aren\u2019t afraid to sing about hard things,\u201d Hall says. \u201cSometimes, people tell us that while their loved ones were dying of cancer they were singing our songs to them as they were passing. Words can\u2019t describe how that makes me feel. To be let into those moments and for us to have that privilege – that God has let us take the gift of music and share it and do something that could help someone – is special.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the beginning, our words have been comfort<\/strong> and encouragement<\/strong>,\u201d Hall says of Selah\u2019s music, \u201cand I don\u2019t think that has ever changed as part of our mission.\u201d Sharing the gospel and encouraging believers has become a way of life, and they are grateful for the opportunity to serve. \u201cOne thing I always go back to is hope,\u201d Smith says with a smile. \u201cHope has always been a big theme in our music and hope is a big theme of this album. When you look back at history, God brought people through the Bubonic Plague. God brought us through a Civil War. God brought us through WWI. God brought us through the Depression. He brought us through WWII. If you look back at all the times in your life where you felt overwhelmed, there\u2019s still always hope. He always carries you through!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With more than half-a-billion streams, over 4 million albums sold, and 8 GMA Dove Awards to their credit, Selah\u2019s Allan Hall, Amy Perry and Todd Smith have earned a reputation for not only delivering compelling new anthems but also for reviving great hymns of faith.
