Dove Awards-winning worship leader, songwriter, author and producer of hundreds of songs sung around the world that make Jesus loud, Yancy takes home a 55th Annual GMA Dove Award for Children’s Recorded Song of the Year for her cover of “Holy Forever.” Produced by Stephen Leiweke and distributed by Syntax Creative, the song is available at digital and streaming outlets everywhere via https://sc.lnk.to/R1UNDk.

Yancy’s worship rendition of the song was inspired by Chris Tomlin’s recording of “Holy Forever,” which was written by Tomlin, Brian Johnson, Jenn Johnson, Jason Ingram and Phil Wickham, and garnered the writers the 2024 GMA Dove Award for Song of Year.

“I’m honored to be a carrier of this song and fell in love with it on the first listen,” shares Yancy. “Every time I lead it live, it is a special moment. I put my spin on this popular worship song knowing ‘Holy Forever’ is the kind of anthem our spirits long to sing. We were made to sing ‘holy, holy, holy,’ and it’s time for both young and old to join with the angels and sing to the One whose name stands above it all! This song is timely for us on earth, but it’s also timeless because God has been, is and forever will be – holy! May His praise forever be on our lips."

The Dove Awards, which first aired Oct. 4 exclusively on TBN and TBN+ and simulcast on SiriusXM The Message, will be rebroadcast on TBN Friday, Oct. 11, 2024 at 8:00 pm EST. To watch the all-star, high energy, multi-genre night of music hosted by Tauren Wells, fans may visit https://www.tbn.org/specials/doveawards.

Yancy received her first Dove Award for Ready, Set, Go, which was named Children’s Album of the Year in 2021. She was also named the Gospel Music Association’s International Spotlight Competition winner in 1999.

In addition to her awards, Yancy has recently released a companion song for David C Cook entitled, “A Better Song” that was inspired by and in conjunction with the children’s book The Heart Who Wanted to Sing by Beth Guckenberger. Yancy will also be releasing a new Christmas single, “Go Tell It (On the Mountain),” Nov. 1, and will be launching a new podcast later this fall called “Stained Glass Kids,” featuring raw, redeemed, broken and honest interviews that bring light to the darkest parts of the stories of those who are or were preacher’s kids (PK’s) and ministry kids.

In the coming months, Yancy can be found leading worship for First Baptist Dallas’ iCampus Kids, and at numerous churches across the country as she leads worship at conferences, camps and speaking at events.
