Grammy Winner’s Inspiring Anthem “Love Is Stronger” Featured on Two-Disc Set

 

NASHVILLE, TN – Grammy winner Jason Crabb’s powerful song, “Love Is Stronger,” is featured as one of the top twenty-five most inspiring songs of faith on the new collection from Maranatha! Music’s Top 25 series, Top 25 Country Songs of Faith. The brand has sold nearly 1.8 million copies since inception with ‘Songs of Faith’ the first country set in the series.

 

The twenty-one time GMA Dove Award winner joins a stellar line-up of artists featuring Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Amy Grant, Dolly Parton, Wynonna Judd, Kenny Chesney, Chris Young, Johnny Cash and more.

 

From the moment Crabb heard “Love Is Stronger,” he knew the song would touch hearts. “Jay DeMarcus, my producer, brought this song to me,” Crabb shares. “I immediately knew I had to record it this song - I knew it would touch people because it touched me. My wife Shellye was going through some very hard times when this song came into our lives - it helped me and I knew it would help others.

 

The song later came to life through a video directed by award-winner Roman White. Debuting nationally on USAToday.com, the video stars Ashley DeRamus, a young lady living with Downs Syndrome, bringing awareness to those living with the disease.

 

“This song shares a universal message of hope and encouragement,” comments Crabb. “We’re all going through something and this song reminds us that love - of Jesus, of our families - it’s stronger than anything and will pull us through. I am honored that I was chosen to sing this song.”

 

The album, available in stores and online, boasts all original artist recordings from some of the brightest, biggest, and best artists who are performing songs of faith notable for their uplifting lyrics.
