Zach Williams Debuts New Song "Baptized"

On October 4, the new LP Rescue Story releases from GRAMMY® and GMA Dove Award®-winning artist Zach Williams. Leading up to street day, Zach debuts his fifth instant stream/download song, "Baptized," today. Along with four other songs, the album's debut single "Rescue Story," "Walk With You," "Heaven Help Me," and "Slave To Nothing," all five songs are available now with the album's pre-order campaign at all digital music providers.  

Rescue Story is an emotive album, brimming with goose-bump inducing moments of enlightenment, redemption, personal revelation, and of courageous self-reflection. Williams' new collection of songs fit together much like a book, with each song being an essential chapter in the overarching narrative.

Musically, the album further explores the distinct country and rock n' roll sensibilities that inform Zach's stirringly soulful songwriting.Reflecting on his new album, Williams says, "When I gave my life to the Lord, I realized He never left me, even in the dark times. For this new album, the title fits because every song in it has a rescue story. When you're at your end of the rope, that's when your rescue story begins. In my case, Jesus has been my rescue story."
