Speaking at the K-Love Awards, Winans told Reel Faith the heart behind the project: \u201cThe foundation to me of the church and it\u2019s so important that we continue to connect the younger generation. So, I mean, I love contemporary music, but there\u2019s nothing more powerful than the hymns. It\u2019s very simple because I didn\u2019t really want to bother anything. So it\u2019s really simple as just my voice with the piano and the power of those songs. I pray will heal, save, and set for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Hymns\u201d arrives as a deliberate anchor in an ever-changing cultural landscape. Drawing from the camp meetings of the early church, grand cathedrals, and humble front-porch sing-alongs, these songs have shaped generations of believers. Winans emphasizes their enduring role: \u201cThese hymns serve as an anchor for believers, keeping us grounded in what matters most. In a world that is constantly changing, they connect us to the \u2018old landmarks\u2019 of faith, reminding us of God\u2019s unchanging nature and the core truths that must remain central to our worship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grammy Award-winning producers Thomas Hardin, Jr. and Tyrone Jackson helmed the project, allowing the hymns to breathe naturally while showcasing the warmth, authority, and emotional depth that have defined Winans\u2019 storied career. The collection features classics such as \u201cAmazing Grace,\u201d \u201cIt Is Well,\u201d \u201cHow Great Thou Art,\u201d \u201cGreat Is Thy Faithfulness,\u201d and \u201cJesus Loves Me,\u201d alongside others like \u201cBlessed Assurance,\u201d \u201cI Surrender All,\u201d and \u201cNothing But the Blood.\u201d Each track serves not merely as performance but as testimony, drawn from a lifetime of genuine faith.<\/p>\n
