"Breakthrough" was birthed from a deeply personal journey for Lucy Taylor. Reflecting on the song's inspiration, she shares, "This song was written over the course of a very difficult year in my life. I felt God put the word 'Breakthrough' on my heart but struggled to see where God was breaking through in my own adversity. The more I leaned into God, surrendering my own plans and ideals, the more He became clear to me and spoke to the depths of my soul. His faithfulness through my own trouble led to the precious and profound words in this song that caught me when I was falling and gave me strength to stand again."
The production of "Breakthrough" features contributions from talented musicians Joshua Taylor, Edward Westley, and Anthony Parkes, with Franco Alani playing a pivotal role in bringing Lucy's vision to life. Franco's production has transformed Lucy's innermost thoughts and emotions into a reality that resonates with listeners, emphasizing the power of God that becomes evident when we deepen our trust in His abundant faithfulness.
The song draws inspiration from Psalm 40:1-3, which speaks of God's unwavering presence in our lives: “I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.” The wider EP builds on this theme, accentuating the knowledge and understanding that God sees us, hears us, and gives us strength by His power to walk in His light.
"Breakthrough" is not just a song but a testimony of God's faithfulness in the midst of trials. It is already touching hearts beyond the inner circle of Taylor & Co Worship and is poised to inspire and encourage many more.
