What My Savior means to Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood, 38, appeared on Friday’s episode of TODAY to discuss her new gospel album and what propelled her to release a full-length gospel album. My Savior is out this Friday and it is influenced by her childhood experiences.

“It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do,” Underwood commented on her very first gospel album, “I grew up on this music, it’s such a pillar of who I am as a person but also as an artist.”

The singer of Jesus, Take the Wheel said that the first time she ever performed music in front of a crowd was at her church, and that they are “such a warm, loving environment.”

“I sang these songs when I was little and now as an adult, they hold such a higher purpose and deeper meaning for me singing those lyrics. You never know who is gonna need whatever song it is you’re putting out, whether it’s something sassy or whether it’s something really deep and meaningful.”

She added that she hopes “people find some peace and some comfort in these songs.”

She said that her faith has provided her with hope and something strong to cling onto. “I feel like when you do have something higher to look to you have hope,” the country singer/songwriter explained. “So even in the worst of times, you have something that you can cling on to and I am so thankful that my family grew up in church and now I’m surrounded by people that have faith.”

She further said that she feels she has an advantage as a country artist because they can “get to sing about our faith and it is welcomed, so I am just lucky and blessed.”

The new album contains popular classics like How Great Thou Art, Amazing Grace, Softly and Tenderly, and I Surrender All.
