Country Faith will release the third installment from its music series, entitled Country Faith Hymns, on May 6, 2016.

Country Faith Hymns will feature previously recorded faith-based songs from Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Amy Grant and many more.

“I’ve always loved the hymns,” said one of the album’s executive producers Deborah Evans Price. “There’s something so comforting and inspiring about these timeless songs. On Country Faith Hymns, you’ll hear the most compelling legacy and contemporary voices in Country Music delivering songs that have become part of the soundtrack of our lives. We are thrilled to be partnering with Word Entertainment/Curb Records to bring these treasured hymns to the world. I’m especially excited about Wade Hayes’ new recording of ‘Just As I Am.’ I’ve been a fan of Wade’s for a long time and am so grateful he’s sharing this song with us. It moves me every time I listen.”

“I am so very excited and proud to be part of the Country Faith Hymns project. ‘Just As I Am’ has been a favorite of mine since I was a child growing up at Lake View Church of Christ in my hometown in Oklahoma. It seemed like the perfect choice for me to record,” added Hayes.

Country Faith Hymns will be released in two versions beginning May 6. The first will be available online, as well as Walmart, Barnes & Noble and other retailers. The second version will be exclusive to all Cracker Barrel stores and will feature two additional songs. For more information, visit countryfaith.com.
