Alive' Big Daddy Weave Cover From Joshua David

This cover from Joshua David of Big Daddy Weave’s song ‘Alive’ is sure to leave you feeling encouraged.

“I was dead in my transgressions
Wandering in sin
I went searching for redemption
Down a road that had no end
I was walking through the fire
I was living on the run
With my flesh lost in desire
I was drowning in the flood

But God, rich in mercy
You came to save me
Now I'm alive
But God, strong and mighty
You reached down for me
So I could rise
Now I'm alive”

Joshua David is a Christian singer, songwriter, and worship leader from Cincinnati, Ohio. His passion for Jesus and music is evident in the songs that he covers and produces, which he shares with his online audience.

In this song, ‘Alive,’ you can hear the story of God’s redemptive love when you listen to the beautiful lyrics. The song is the first single from Big Daddy Weave’s new album which is scheduled to be released this fall.

Recording artist Zach Williams is a friend of Big Daddy Weave and was a co-writer for the song ‘Alive’. Zach’s life was changed dramatically when he heard the band’s song ‘Redeemed’ on the radio, and that led to him writing ‘Alive’ years later. When he shared the song ‘Alive’ with Big Daddy Weave last year, the group committed to recording the song as soon as they heard it.

“As the Lord used ‘Redeemed’ to touch Zach’s life, He is now using a song that Zach wrote that so deeply speaks to where we are,” says Mike Weaver, the lead vocalist for Big Daddy Weave. “This song came in its perfect timing, with us coming out of a hard life season and into a season of light. We cannot wait for everyone to hear a song that means so much to us as a band.”

May you enjoy this simple, acoustic cover of ‘Alive’ and remember just how rich our God is in love and mercy.
