She’s the consummate storyteller, a singer-songwriter who is equal parts observer and autobiographer. Sara Groves has been sharing her heart and baring her soul through her music for 15 years. The Collection celebrates her career thus far, culling the best and brightest from her 10 studio albums. The two-disc set includes 23 songs from her previous album history as well as four new tracks. Of course, it’s no easy feat narrowing down her esteemed catalog. From the first strains of her 1998 debut, Past the Wishing, to the confessional Fireflies & Songs and the award-winning Add to the Beauty, there are mini-masterpieces everywhere. Tracks like “You Cannot Lose My Love,” “All Right Here” and “Roll to the Middle” testify to her gift as a poet, whether she’s talking about parenthood, the difficulties of marriage or the loves and losses that shape who we are. It’s no wonder she’s garnered three Dove Award nods, been named CCM’s Artist of the Year and last year, Christianity Today named her one of their women to watch.  “I made a map of my life on my 40th birthday and remembered in broad strokes the first 20 years of my life and then the second,” says Sara. “I was amazed that there was rarely just one monolithic line, plummeting and rising, but that in the darker hours, there was almost always a counter-rise – this hard thing was happening. Coming-of-age vulnerability alongside finding genuine, life-giving mentors (and authors), young adult angst alongside finding a voice, marriage joy alongside marriage pain, birth alongside depression, sin and self alongside truly breathtaking revelations of grace, tearing relational missteps alongside burgeoning life-long friendships. You know what I’m talking about because when I go out and sing, you come and tell me about your plummeting and rising and these songs that mark each turn in the line.” #follow us @gospelhittz #saragroves#sweet#artistic#live#song #music#musician #band #hillsong #classic #musicvideo #songs#musical #festival #concert #bands #singer #hardrock #guitarist #pianist #stars #trumpet #like4like #gospelhittz #happy  #2018 #money  (at Sara Groves)

My day got instantly better when I got this in the mail. #saragroves #abidewithme

Two of my favorite women. They’ve both inspired me so much throughout my life. 

I can tell by your eyes that you're not getting any sleep And you try to rise above it, but feel you're sinking in too deep Oh, oh I believe, I believe that It's going to be alright It's going to be alright I believe you'll outlive this pain in your heart And you'll gain such a strength from what is tearing you apart Oh, oh I believe I believe that It's going to be alright It's going to be alright This is my song today! Light breaking through a dark cloud. This entire album is good for that.
