On “Yet Still”, my oldest son Dakota Cotugno adds his rich cello playing to this powerful song about Christ’s willingness to love us still, despite His suffering. Visit the gallery for pictures and videos! My husband Todd and I flew to Nashville to The Library recording studio to listen while the strings were recorded onto the album. What a privilege to work with God-loving people! I only hope it will enhance the worship value of your musicĪnd point listeners to the glory of God.“ Even cooler is what Steve emailed me after we finished recording. A really cool tidbit about Steve is that he has worked on the last two Kendrick brothers’ movies! (Overcomer and War Room). We then hired Nashville composer Steve Mauldin to write string arrangements for the album. Some of the harmony vocals we recorded are mine, but you will also hear the lovely voice of Maria Komisky. The project started at Faith Music Missions with Ed Russ and David Chamberlain where we recorded vocals and piano.

I believe you will be able to hear my transformed, reclaimed life through this album. God helped me focus on the power of His Word as a tool to bring me freedom, joy, and abundant life, even when depression pays a visit. God has taken me by the hand and pulled me out of the bondage of depression. This new album is a reflection of life after the trial. The previous album, Amazing Grace, recorded during a trial, soothes the soul in comfort and grace as the songs point to the Counselor, Healer, Shepard, and Comforter, so needed when one is suffering. I began writing that very moment and over the next 13 months wrote 10 new songs!

But while enjoying Christmas with my family in Iowa, God woke me up very early one morning with an insatiable desire to write.
