Dove Award-winning artist Ellie Holcomb recently released her newest project, \u201cAll of My Days,\u201d which sets the book of Psalms to music. The singer-songwriter, who is the daughter of celebrated music producer Brown Bannister and wife of singer Drew Holcomb, has always celebrated scripture set to music, often as part of sharing with her listeners on \u201cMemory Mondays\u201d where she sings Scripture to songs every week.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod’s word has been a balm, and a shelter in the storm, an anchor that is grounded me when shame storms come in,\u201d Holcomb explains. \u201cI will never be able to deny the light that it is shown for me in some of the darkest nights of my soul.\u201d Although she can remember \u201c1,000 songs easily,\u201d it is more difficult to remember scripture sometimes, so setting it to music can \u201chelp my forgetful, weary heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

For \u201cAll of My Days,\u201d Holcomb celebrates the psalms of David, with seven tracks set to music, including \u201cAll of My Days – Psalm 231,\u201d \u201cWhere Can I Go – Psalm 139,\u201d \u201cI Lift My Eyes – Psalm 121,\u201d \u201cWait For You – Psalm 130,\u201d \u201cDon’t Forget His Love – Psalm 103,\u201d \u201cMy Heart Is Steadfast – Psalm 108.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to make a Psalms project,\u201d she adds. \u201cSinging Scripture has been equivalent to a physical act of burying seeds of hope and truth and light deep in my heart. The joy and comfort that come when those little melodies surface, especially during the dark or hard moments in my story, scripture songs have been an encouragement for me over the years.”<\/p>\n

The EP concludes with a new version of the Amy Grant classic, \u201cThy Word – Psalm 119,\u201d which she shared through a post on social media<\/a> recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I love about this verse is that it\u2019s such a simple metaphor. God\u2019s word is a lamp. When we are stumbling, struggling, lost, confused, lonely, exhausted, and at the end of rope in a dark night of the soul, there is a lantern we can hold. It may not reveal the whole grand journey ahead of us, but it will give us light for the next right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

For eight years, Holcomb recorded and toured full-time with her husband\u2019s band, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, before stepping off the road when her first child was born. The duo released a love-themed EP for Valentine\u2019s Day titled \u201cBrick By Brick,\u201d followed by a \u201cFeels Like Home\u201d tour through the month of February.<\/p>\n

Holcomb\u2019s solo debut, \u201cAs Sure as The Sun\u201d (2014), landed her a Top 10 hit and a GMA Dove Award for \u201cNew Artist of the Year.\u201d Her critically acclaimed sophomore LP, \u201cRed Sea Road,\u201d followed in 2017. In 2021, she released her third full-length solo project, “Canyon,” to much acclaim, earning her a second Top 10 radio single with the song, “I Will Carry You.”<\/p>\n

At the most recent GMA Dove Awards, Holcomb was honored for Children\u2019s Recorded Song of the Year for \u201cSounding Joy\u201d from her Christmas project, \u201cSing: Christmas Songs.\u201d Holcomb has released the children\u2019s books \u201cWho Sang the First Song,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t Forget to Remember\u201d and \u201cSounding Joy,\u201d also the name of her Christmas EP and award-winning song.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was reading this quote about Christmas from Ann Voskamp and it says, \u2018The gift of Christmas is that we who were barren are gifted a child who lets us laugh with relief for all of eternity.\u2019 And that\u2019s what we celebrate (at the Dove Awards). The end of the story is good, it’s love, and I\u2019m so grateful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coinciding with the new release, an expanded version of Holcomb\u2019s \u201cFighting Words\u201d devotional released with 10 additional devotionals and new artwork. Seven of the new devotionals are accompanied by songs on the new music project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so humbling to hear how many have resonated with\u00a0\u2018Fighting Words\u2019,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m so delighted that we\u2019re now sending out this extended version that includes so many of my \u2018lifer\u2019 verses. The book now feels like a stack of paper Ebenezers, little reminders of how God has deeply met and encouraged me through the Scriptures.\u201d<\/p>\n

As someone who has often found solace in the Scripture during nights of worry and anxiety, Holcomb believes if she can help others, she\u2019s grateful for that opportunity; \u201cThe Word helps me remember what’s true, and if it helps me remember, maybe it’ll help some other people remember,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Holcomb\u2019s \u201cAll of My Days\u201d EP is currently streaming on music platforms<\/a>. Her \u201cFighting Words\u201d expanded devotional is available through her website<\/a> and retail outlets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
