GRAMMY-nominated worship leader, songwriter, and Bethel Music co-founder Jenn Johnson has released her heartfelt new single, "Thank You Lord," featuring GRAMMY Award-winning worship artist Brooke Ligertwood. Available now across all streaming platforms alongside an official visualizer, the track serves as the latest preview of Johnson's highly anticipated debut solo album, HAPPY, arriving May 22.
Filled with themes of remembrance, gratitude, and worship, "Thank You Lord" reflects on God's faithfulness through every season of life. The song invites listeners into a posture of thanksgiving, celebrating the goodness and unfailing love of God with a sincere and worshipful spirit. Built around reflective lyrics and emotive vocals from both Johnson and Ligertwood, the collaboration delivers a moving reminder of the importance of pausing to recognize God's hand in both joyful and difficult moments.
Johnson says the song carries personal significance for her, describing it as a continuation of the message behind one of her most beloved worship anthems.
"I'm so grateful for this song and the journey behind it," Johnson shares. "'Thank You Lord' is a reminder to pause and remember His goodness in every season. It feels almost like a continuation of 'Goodness Of God' for me. And having Brooke on it with me makes it so special - her voice, her heart, and her friendship is such a gift."
The release continues the momentum surrounding HAPPY, which marks a deeply personal chapter in Johnson's musical journey. The upcoming album blends authentic worship with country-inspired sounds and pop influences, creating a project that reflects joy, honesty, intimacy with God, and everyday faith. Across the album, Johnson explores themes of gratitude, trust, hope, and longing for deeper connection with God.
The project also features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Kari Jobe, Brian Johnson, Tiffany Hudson, Abbie Gamboa, Gable Price, Malachi Johnson, Leonard Ray Jarman, The Unveiled, Manuchie, and Silas Magalhães.
