"We Believe" songsmith Travis Ryan releases own EP

THE CO-WRITER of the number one hit song for the Newsboys, "We Believe", Travis Ryan has included his own version of the song on his five-song EP 'You Hold It All'. The project by the Californian worship leader has been released globally through Integrity Music and was produced by Integrity Music writer Michael Farren and Ryan's brother, Brandon Collins. It was recorded live at LifePoint Church, Smyrna, Tennessee, where Ryan serves as worship pastor. The title track was the inspiration for Ryan's brother, Chad Collins, to create the cover art for the album, as months after writing the track with Jordan Merritt and his brother Brandon, Ryan's wife, Hayley, miscarried. Said Ryan, "The first thing I thought was, 'OK, do I believe that God holds it all?' My wife and I looked at each and were like, 'Wow, God gave us that line because he knows the future. He gave us that anchor - a cornerstone - just to walk through that difficult time. God wrote that on our hearts before we even knew we were going to be walking through this season."
