ZACH WILLIAMS RELEASES NEW VERSION OF WORSHIP ANTHEM “RATTLE!” FEATURING PASTOR STEVEN FURTICK; Song And Lyric Video Are Out Now
13 November 2020 – Franklin, TN – In partnership with Essential Worship, GRAMMY Award®-winning artist Zach Williams announces the release of his cover of “Rattle!” featuring Pastor Steven Furtick. Written by Furtick, Chris Brown, and Brandon Lake and originally recorded by Elevation Worship, “Rattle!” is one of the newest and fastest-growing anthems for the church in 2020. A lyric video also drops today and can be viewed below.
“‘Impossible’ and ‘disappointment’ are two words that have plagued our culture in this season,” Williams shares. “I want these words to be replaced with ‘power’ and ‘miracles.’ As a musician with a platform, I want ‘My God is able’ to rattle the minds of the listeners. The first time I heard this song, the raw power and emotion of this song impacted me greatly, and I want this song to be a reminder to all that God IS able and he IS doing great things.”
A “Rattle!” contest is also well underway with Tunespeak. With already more than 160,000 entries at press time, the contest runs through December 4 and offers numerous giveaways such as a Fender guitar, Alclair monitors, along with Zach Williams and Essential Worship merchandise.
