6 5 2 casting crowns | song of the year | Written by Mark Hall, Bernie Herms and Matthew West // @castingcrowns “I wanted to write a song that was God singing to me during a storm in my life… This song is for me. I just want to remind you that just because you can’t see God’s plan doesn’t mean there’s no plan. There’s always a hand holding you, even when you think things aren’t in control.” —Mark Hall | song of the year | 1 3 4 “Just Be Held” CHRIS TOMLIN “Good, good father” for king & country “shoulders” lauren daigle “first” mercyme “flawless” tobymac “feel it” featuring Mr. TalkBox 1 2 3 4 5 6 Klovefanawards.com - 78 - #KLOVEfanawards Klovefanawards.com - 79 - #KLOVEfanawards | song Nominees | Written by Pat Barrett and Tony Brown // @christomlin “Songs like this don’t come along that often… What a beautiful thing for your little girl or your little boy to [sing]… It’s one of those generational songs. It’s timeless; it’s classic… What I pray is that this song finds a way into the fabric of the Church so that it’s no longer attached to me.” Written by Luke Smallbone, Joel Smallbone, Ben Glover and Tedd Tjornhom // @4kingandcountry “This life is not the end. Beyond this life, there is an alternate dimension. No matter if you lose someone, you will find them on [the other side of heaven]. And in that sense, we can place all of our cares, all of our worries on His shoulders.” —Joel Smallbone Written by Lauren Daigle, Paul Mabury, Jason Ingram, Mia Fieldes and Hank Bentley // @lauren_daigle ”’First’ was written to give all of those plagued with anxiety ammunition of praise. It’s a call to remember that seeking first the Kingdom of God will assure us beyond any earthly treasure or accolade. I wanted this song to offer encouragement to anyone in need of redirected focus on their journey with God, just as I was needing it at the time.” Written by Bart Millard, Mike Scheuchzer, Nathan Cochran, Robby Shaffer, Barry Graul, Solomon Olds, David Garcia and Ben Glover // @mercyme “Sometimes I wonder if religion just fails to show us that grace says no matter how beat up you are, no matter what you go through in life, no matter how difficult life is, the cross made you flawless… It may not make you perfect yet, but it’s made you flawless. The day you came to know Christ, you were made brand new.” —Bart Millard Written by Toby McKeehan, David Garcia and Cary Barlowe // @officialtobymac “The song ‘Feel It’ is really a celebration of God’s love for us… Just like the wind—you see the wind moving the leaves; you see the effects of the wind, but you can’t see the wind… Well, God does the same thing. He loves us. We can’t see Him, but He changes our lives. He takes our brokenness, and He makes us beautiful. That’s what a loving God does.”
