Background and recording
In 2011, following the passing of Hillary Scott's grandfather, W.M. Scott Jr., the Scott family leaned on their faith and used traditional hymns to comfort one another. They began recording the songs with the intention of sharing those messages of joy with friends and family. This project eventually developed into a full-length album which includes classic hymns, popular Contemporary Christian songs, and newly-written original tracks such as the project's lead single, "Thy Will". This song was inspired by a miscarriage Scott experienced in 2015 while on tour. The family reached out to Ricky Skaggs to produce the album and Skaggs additionally provided instrumentation and guest vocals. Christian musicians Steven Curtis Chapman and Cheryl White also make appearances.

"Thy Will", one of three tracks co-written by Scott, was released to digital retailers, country radio, and Christian radio on April 22, 2016 as the album's lead single. Its music video premiered June 20, 2016. The song has since reached 27 on the Hot Country Songs chart and number one on the Hot Christian Songs chart.
