I Am They focuses on vulnerability in themselves and their listeners, and Faithful Godāalbum No. 3ātestifies strongly to that mission. Themes include celebration, trust, and thankfulness. The music reflects solid pop with a little folk and a ballad or two mixed in. The title cut was penned in response to vocalist Matt Heinās friendās up-and-down fight with cancer. The powerful lyrics in the chorus state: āI will sing through fire and thunder; āCause You are on my side; I trust you with my life; I know my story isnāt over; Even against all odds; You are a faithful God; Youāre a faithful God.ā Another favorite is the declaration, āFound My Freedom,ā a song multi-Grammy Award winner Matt West co-wrote and sings on the album. The opening selection, āDelivered,ā offers an uptempo piece in victory mode. Vocalist Abbie Parker summed up the album in a telephone interview: āI think itās just the type of music we need right now,ā she said, āa reminder of Godās faithfulnessāour true purposeāour true story.ā Faithful God hits the mark.
