Introducing the record, McClure said he hopes the song encourages listeners to strengthen their faith and confidently embrace whatever God has prepared for them next.
After playing the single, Mr. Griff asked McClure about the personal meaning behind the title. The singer explained that the message came from a place of healing after experiencing significant loss in his life.
“This was something that I needed to really speak to my own personal life,” McClure shared. “I’ve had loss in my life, and I just wanted to get back to where God has me.”
He added that many people spend time waiting and wondering what God has planned for them, but he hopes the song reminds listeners to trust God’s timing and move forward with faith.
McClure also reflected on his experience as a Top 5 finalist on BET’s Sunday Best. While the competition introduced him to gospel legends including Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, and BeBe Winans, he said the biggest takeaway was the relationships he built along the way.
“It became family,” McClure said, explaining that everyone on the show shared the same goal of growing their music careers while encouraging one another. He described the opportunity as a springboard that helped prepare him for the next chapter of his ministry and music career.
Beyond recording music, McClure continues to serve as the worship director at Agape Family Worship Center in New Jersey under the leadership of Pastor Lawrence Powell, a role he has held for more than a decade.
He said remaining active in his local church has always been important because worship is at the center of everything he does.
