Nashville, TN (October 28, 2021)
For their latest release, Sonlite Records’ Southern Gospel hitmakers, The Old Paths, offer a stirring testimonial to the glory of God’s Word in “Every Story Whispers His Name.” The song was produced by the acclaimed Roger Talley—written by the quartet of Debbie L. Davis, Bernadette Negus, Val Dacus and Gene Ezell—signals its meditative nature from the hushed opening and restrained first verse, as lead singer Tim Rackley relates its simple, yet profound truth with a simple, yet vivid image.
Listen to the song:I have seen how dark the dark isIn the valley of the shadowWhen the colors on life’s pages turn to grayBut the author of compassionWrote a Book about His mercyThat says I’ll never have to be afraid
Fans are sure to appreciate the masterful arrangement that brings the quartet together amid a swell of strings for the song’s moving chorus, revealing how
Every word, every lineEvery chapter in this lifeTells us all about the Father’s love and grace…Every story whispers His name
And if there were any doubt about the meaning of the message, the swelling bridge that leads into a final chorus makes the point unmistakably clear:
If you’re looking for the answers to your problemsJust turn to His Word, ‘cause He’s already solved them
“Throughout life’s experiences the ups and downs God’s Word brings a comfort that only there can be found,” affirms Douglas Roark—like Rackley, a founding member of The Old Paths. “Every story whispers His name.”
