William McDowell releases 'The Cry'

More than 300 miracle healings documented at his church inspire songs on recording

Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning worship leader, pastor and author William McDowell has released his new live album, “The Cry” (Integrity Music). The album was recorded at Redemption to the Nations Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and features special guest artists Nathaniel Bassey, Travis Greene, Yolanda Adams, David & Nicole Binion, Tasha Cobbs Leonard and Trinity Anderson (worship leader of McDowell's Deeper Fellowship church).

“The Cry” is available here. 

For 20 years, McDowell has been writing songs crying out for God to bring revival. However, his latest release is not a collection of songs crying out for God to come; rather it's a collection of songs written as a response to a God who already has. Two decades ago, McDowell began praying for revival to break out in his community, and on May 22, 2016, the presence of God entered his church of Deeper Fellowship in Orlando and has yet to leave.

The church has recorded over 300 different healings and miracles to date. What's more, the revival doesn’t seem to be slowing down. The congregation has grown from a group of 15 to over 1,000 in just five years. People line up outside the church to attend Sunday services.

“The Cry” is a powerful collection that puts to melody what God has been doing in his church and with these people. 

During the live recording, members of Deeper Fellowship came on stage to share their testimony of healing: a woman who was paralyzed and now walks, another woman who contracted a life-threatening amoeba and was miraculously and immediately healed. These are just two of the hundreds of miracle-stories coming out of McDowell's church.

“To me, this is not only our best-ever captured recording, but it’s also by far the most special and deeply personal,” McDowell said. “It’s the answer to a 20-year cry.”

McDowell serves as pastor of Orlando’s Deeper Fellowship Church and has previously released five critically acclaimed albums: “As We Worship,” “Arise,” “Withholding Nothing,” “Sounds of Revival” and “Sounds of Revival: Part 2” – winning Dove and Stellar Awards and earning a Grammy nomination for his work. He also has made numerous guest appearances on albums from artists representing a variety of music styles. His ability to cross generational, denominational, cultural and genre differences is a reflection of his heart for people and his foundational ministry training.
