The Rogers Family Affirms the Lord’s Eternal Presence, Power with “He’s Still God”

For their Horizon Records debut, The Rogers Family have chosen a rollicking affirmation of the Lord's eternal presence and power that exemplifies the group's respect for the Southern Gospel tradition - and their mastery of the genre's signature harmonizing.

"We're so excited to officially release our brand new single, 'He's Still God,'" enthuses Rebekah Shields, who takes the lead through most of the song. "This upbeat and joyful song has quickly become one of our favorites to sing, and we pray it becomes an encouragement to you as well. No matter what life brings, it's a powerful reminder that He's still God... and He's still on the throne!"

Kicked off with an interchange between legendary studio multi-instrumentalist David Johnson's fiddle and the piano of the family's mother, Kim Shields, "He's Still God" features the group's own creative arrangement. Its first verse is sung by the trio of youngsters - Rebekah, Samuel and Hannah Shields - but another verse follows as Rebekah takes the lead, and as the song progresses, the shape of the chorus is repeatedly recast, with different voices emerging to take the lead and offer the triumphant lyric:

He's still God (He's still God), who rolled back the troubled water
He's still God (He's still God) and He's still in control
He's still God (He's still God) though the world may be raging
He's still God (He's still God) He can calm your troubled soul
When it seems (when it seems that) that you have been defeated
Speak His name (Speak His name) and you are not alone
He's ever listening (He's ever listening) for the cry of His children
He's still God (He's still God) and He's still on the throne

With its snappy call-and-response, down home feeling and intricately intertwined voices, "He's Still God" offers both a memorable listening experience and, for those who have not yet heard them, an outstanding introduction to The Rogers Family.
