Brooke Ligertwood “Bless God”: A New Anthem for All Seasons

Originally appearing as the opening track on Ligertwood's album EIGHT (Capitol CMG, Oct. 2023), "Bless God" now emerges with four additional versions, each offering unique interpretations of the song's profound message.

Today marks the special release of “Bless God” by GRAMMY®-Award-winning songwriter, producer, and worship leader Brooke Ligertwood*. This rendition, featuring Passion, Brandon Lake, and Cody Carnes, was recorded live at Passion 2024, bringing a fresh and powerful dimension to an already beloved anthem.

Originally appearing as the opening track on Ligertwood’s album EIGHT (Capitol CMG, Oct. 2023), “Bless God” now emerges with four additional versions, each offering unique interpretations of the song’s profound message. The live rendition, accompanied by a stirring video, serves as the focal point of this special release.

A Song for the Church

“Bless God” is both a warmly invitational and declarative anthem. Brooke Ligertwood articulates the heart behind the song: “Whilst each song on EIGHT sits in its own lane, if the lane ‘Bless God’ sits in was adorned with garland and sign, it would say ‘This is for the Church.’” The song’s mission is to serve the Church through all of life’s seasons and circumstances.

Ligertwood elaborates on the importance of worship as a consistent practice: “The power of worship as a habit and a habitual posture cannot be understated. When life and circumstances twist us into all manner of positions, decisively aligning our gaze and confession with the truth of Christ and deliberately bringing Him thanks and praise is not only vital but an entrance to the joy of the Lord. In the field of plenty, the dark valley, when empty-handed, whether victorious or unraveling, blessing God is possible and powerful!”
