SINGLE RELEASE

For fans of The Wisecarvers, the new year brings exciting news. Though the Tennessee gospel singing family have been a steady presence on radio and—until the pandemic—in live performance, it’s been more than three years since The Wisecarvers have released new music. That puts their new Horizon Records single squarely in the “long-awaited, eagerly anticipated” category and, with its spare, acoustic-forward arrangement and intimate, heart-to-heart vocals, “Like This” more than meets expectations.

Written and sung by Kaila Wisecarver, with warm, supportive harmonies from Chase and Dustin Wisecarver and subtle, empathetic backing from a small ensemble led by producer Jeff Collins on keyboards, the song offers a compelling, true-to-life evocation of a struggle between doubt and faith that ends with quiet, confident assurance:

I know it’s just a mustard seed
Hard to believe that’s all you need
But take the risk every chance you get
If you ever have to trust Him like this
We’re gonna have to trust Him like this
But you can always trust Him like this

“’I’ve never had to trust You like this’—I was sitting in the back of our old beat up SUV with our little baby boy when I wrote those lyrics,” recalls Kaila Wisecarver. “As we walked through some of the toughest days we’d ever seen, it was hard to wrap my mind around what God was doing, why He was doing it, or how it could be for our good. But as I write this today, can I testify to you? My friend, God did not fail. Whatever you are facing right now, though it’s darker and heavier than anything you’ve ever known, if you’ll lean into Him, He’ll embrace you. You can ALWAYS trust Him like this.”
