Acclaimed singer, nine-time GRAMMY® nominee, and five-time GMA Dove Awards Female Vocalist of the Year Natalie Grant has released a surprise recording of the beloved gospel hymn His Eye Is on the Sparrow, following her recent performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. All proceeds from the track will benefit Hope for Justice, the global organization Natalie co-founded to fight human trafficking and modern slavery while providing survivor-centered care.

Sharing the heart behind the release, Grant explains that the song has been a constant companion throughout her faith journey. Rooted in the traditions of the local church and shaped by the Scriptures and hymns passed down through generations, the message of God's attentive care has brought comfort during seasons of isolation and uncertainty. Recorded in an intimate piano-and-vocal arrangement, Grant says the simplicity allows the song's timeless melody and enduring truth to speak for themselves-offering hope to longtime listeners and newcomers alike.

Beyond the music, Grant remains deeply committed to the mission of Hope for Justice. As Co-Founder and Global Ambassador, she actively supports the organization's frontline efforts, which include working alongside experienced investigators, multilingual outreach teams, legal and policy specialists, and trauma-informed care providers. Together, they address exploitation at its roots while restoring dignity and freedom to survivors around the world. Learn more about Hope for Justice HERE.

Grant's recent album Seasons debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Christian charts and featured an array of cross-genre collaborations with leading voices in gospel and Christian music. Her latest radio success, "Step By Step," a Whitney Houston classic reimagined with Dolly Parton, reached the Top 10 at Mainstream AC radio. This past Christmas season, Grant also released Christmas, her first holiday album in nearly two decades, recorded with her husband and longtime collaborator, GRAMMY®-winning producer Bernie Herms.

With more than one billion global streams, multiple chart-topping albums and singles, and 11 published books-including the popular Glimmer Girls series for young readers-Natalie Grant continues to make a lasting impact across music, faith, and advocacy.
