[8] This project eventually developed into a full-length album which includes classic hymns, popular Contemporary Christian songs, and newly-written original tracks such as the project's lead single, "Thy Will". [9] This song was inspired by a miscarriage Scott experienced in 2015 while on tour. [7] The family reached out to Ricky Skaggs to produce the album and Skaggs additionally provided instrumentation and guest vocals. [7] [9] Christian musicians Steven Curtis Chapman and Cheryl White also make appearances.
