After months of hard work, Love Will Have The Final Word is finally finished, released, and in listeners’ hands. The record is more intentionally acoustic, but is less about sonic reinvention than it is about […]

“With Every Act of Love” was the last song to be written for my new record. Knowing I didn’t really have a song that felt like the lead single, I turned to N. T. Wright’s Surprised By Hope for inspiration in a wr […]

I’m grateful to be able to announce the official “Nothing Is Wasted” music video! Several weeks ago, I wrote a piece about how “Nothing Is Wasted” came to be chosen as the next single and why a new mix was made […]

This song has seriously been one that the Father has used to encourage my heart, @jasongray.
God birthed something new for me to do. Which is of course something exhilarating! Yet, in the same moment, it left me with the question,”If this is Your plan for my life, have I been wasting my time in the past?” I had gotten really down about this. It was getting really hard to see the purpose and meaning.
He used you and this song to remind me that “Nothing
Is Wasted.” So, I can trust and have peace that no matter what, He is moving and guiding everything In
my life; none has been for naught.

Jason Gray wrote a new post, The Story Behind "Forgiveness Is a Miracle" 8 years ago

As I approached writing songs for each of the characters in the Christmas story, I felt particularly protective of Joseph, who I think sometimes doesn’t get the attention he’s due. At the very least I know that I […]

Jason Gray wrote a new post, Album Release — Christmas Stories: Repeat the Sounding Joy 8 years ago

Christmas greetings from the Gray household! I know that normally it’s a little early to be thinking about Christmas, and I’m typically a take-one-holiday-at-a-time kind of guy—we haven’t even had Hallo […]
