Traditional gospel music legend, Bishop Leonard Scott, has released an uplifting new worship hymn, “Great I Am” (Tyscot Records), on all digital service platforms. The soul-stirring track hails from Scott’s forthcoming EP, “Keep Hymns Alive, Vol. 1” (Tyscot Records). “I’m very proud of this song,” Bishop Scott says. “I feel like it’s one of the strongest songs I’ve ever recorded, but even more than that, I feel like it’s a message that we need to hear right now. Through all of turmoil of COVID19, political polarization, and everything else that’s going on in this world, we need to remember that God is the Great I Am, and he will be what we need to get us through.”
On the comforting track, Bishop Scott leads a smooth praise team of singers who harmonize the verses and choruses as he gently adlibs and exhorts the listener over a swirl of acoustic guitars, piano, and celestial atmospherics. Midway through, he is joined by the robust baritone of up-and-coming worship leader, Quinton Elliott (who’s worked with Demetrius West, The Williams Singers and DeWayne Woods), who lifts his voice and carries the song through its climatic fade.
