"We Believe" songsmith Travis Ryan releases own EP
THE CO-WRITER of the number one hit song for the Newsboys, "We
Believe", Travis
Ryan has included his own version of the song on his five-song EP
'You Hold It All'. The project by the Californian worship leader has
been released globally through Integrity Music and was produced by
Integrity Music writer Michael Farren and Ryan's brother, Brandon
Collins. It was recorded live at LifePoint Church, Smyrna, Tennessee,
where Ryan serves as worship pastor. The title track was the
inspiration for Ryan's brother, Chad Collins, to create the cover art
for the album, as months after writing the track with Jordan Merritt
and his brother Brandon, Ryan's wife, Hayley, miscarried. Said Ryan,
"The first thing I thought was, 'OK, do I believe that God holds it
all?' My wife and I looked at each and were like, 'Wow, God gave us
that line because he knows the future. He gave us that anchor - a
cornerstone - just to walk through that difficult time. God wrote that
on our hearts before we even knew we were going to be walking through
this season."
