Presence Music Band’s new single, “Let the Truth,” isn’t afraid to get real, and it lands oh so right. This is not background worship music that stays quietly out of the way, for it calls for your attention and will even tenderly ask your heart to join the conversation. “Let the Truth” doesn’t tell us that it’s OK not to be OK, but it meets us in the messy middle and lets us know that grace is already there.
Mixing the raw emotional nerve of Halsey with the spiritual gravitas of modern worship music, “Let the Truth” is an anthemic Christian pop offering that holds out a permission slip to exhale. Powered by soaring melodies and cinematic production, it begins with the confessional line, “Well, I’m guessing we’re all stuck in the same boat praying and crying out to the Lord…” and from then on, you realize, this is not just another Sunday song. This is a church for the brokenhearted, the questioning, the just-hanging-in-there.
Presence Music Band draws near to openness, not as a fault, but as a threshold of grace. And within every lyric is a reassuring honesty, the late-night text from a friend who sees through your “I’m fine”. It’s endearingly human and authentic that fans of Hollyn, Sarah Reeves, or a faith-fueled Folklore-era Swift will most likely flock to. If you’ve ever grinned through the rain to make it through a service, this song is for you.
