by

📅 Release Date: May 23, 2025

If your quiet time needs a new soundtrack that hits both the heart and the Word of God, Journey Worship Co. just delivered. 💌 Their brand-new worship single “Blessed Are the Forgiven” dropped May 23, and it’s everything you want in a Psalm-inspired praise moment. Built around Psalm 32, this song reminds us that the greatest blessing isn’t stuff, status, or success—it’s forgiveness. 🕊️

“Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.”
— Psalm 32:1

That verse is the heartbeat of the whole song. 🎧✨ With gentle acoustic vibes, warm harmonies, and lyrics grounded in the grace of Jesus, “Blessed Are the Forgiven” invites you to slow down, reflect, and remember what mercy really means.

🎤 “This one’s a confession and a declaration. We pray it serves you and your church as much as it has served us.”
— Journey Worship Co.

💭 Behind the Song: “Blessed Are the Forgiven”

Sometimes the most powerful songs aren’t born on a big stage—but in a still moment with God. That’s where this one came from.

Rooted in Psalm 32, this song traces the journey from guilt to grace. David’s psalm begins with the aching weight of unconfessed sin—“my bones wasted away”—but it quickly turns to joy when forgiveness steps in. That shift became the emotional and spiritual foundation for the entire track.

✍️ “We wanted to write something that felt like a prayer whispered in your room but could still echo through a sanctuary,” says Ashley Briggs, lead vocalist and co-writer.

Co-written by Ashley Briggs, Brett Perkins, Erik Reed, and Steve Charles, the team dug deep into the emotional current of the psalm. They wanted this song to feel like a sigh of relief—a release from shame into the arms of grace.

The chorus says it all:

🎶 “Come to the Lord and find redemption / The blood of the Lord will cover me”

The instrumentation mirrors that same journey: soft and humble at the start, growing with each verse until it swells into full, joyful release. You’re not just singing about forgiveness—you’re experiencing it.

🎤 “This was one of those songs we didn’t just write for the church—we wrote it with the church in mind… and with hearts that have been there too.”
— Brett Perkins, producer and co-writer

Whether you’re singing it with your church or letting it play in the background of a quiet morning, this one hits different. It’s a Psalm you can sing. A prayer you can carry.
