The popularity of worship music was once again reflected in the awards handed out at the 47th annual Gospel Music Awards, held last night at Nashville’s Lipscomb University. Lauren Daigle won three awards with Hillsong United and Bethel Music were awarded two Doves each.
After winning the night’s top award, Daigle reflected on her whirlwind year, which included the Gold certification (500,000 copies sold) of her debut Centricity Music Album.
“I had no idea that God would do this. I’m just so excited that the kingdom is being uplifted and people around the world are hearing his truth,” she said.
Daigle’s other awards included Songwriter of the Year (Artist) and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year for “Trust In You.”
Daigle’s Centricity Records label mate Jordan Feliz won New Artist of the Year and “Good, Good Father,” sung by Chris Tomlin and written by Pat Barrett and Tony Brown won Song of the Year.
