CeCe Winans has released a new album titled More Than This, which has already debuted at #1 on the Billboard Christian charts. Discussing the creation of this album, CeCe shared her excitement and gratitude for the powerful worship experience captured in the recording. “Our second live record was done here in Nashville, and it was just a powerful experience,” Winans explained. “Our first live record, Believe For It, was recorded during the pandemic with limited people. This time, I invited worship teams from various churches in Nashville, and they were our audience. The live audience singing was just a heavenly experience. My prayer is that when people hear this record, they will get what happened in the house that night.” The album’s title, More Than This, reflects CeCe’s desire for worship that goes beyond the ordinary. “It’s more than just our Hallelujah. Let the Holy Spirit saturate our worship in a way that will bring God the glory that He deserves,” she emphasized.

CeCe’s recent performance on American Idol left a significant mark, not just on the audience but also on her. She performed “Goodness of God,” a song that she felt would touch many hearts. “My prayer was that it would have a huge impact for the Kingdom,” Winans shared. “When they chose ‘Goodness of God,’ I was so grateful. Meeting Roman, a 24-year-old contestant with a heart for glorifying the Lord, was also special. I felt God was going to do something significant through this.”
Known for her infectious smile and joyful spirit, CeCe attributes her joy to her faith in God. “The joy of the Lord is my strength,” she said. “I’m 59, about to be 60, and I’ve lived long enough to look back and see God’s kindness and mercy towards me. Even in dark times, knowing He’s with you brings joy. Praise keeps joy in your heart.”

We all know that God loves us, but the blessing comes when you realize you owe Him everything and strive to please Him. I pray that people learn to worship Him in spirit and truth, leading to transformed lives.”
When asked about a song that reminds her of her youth in church, CeCe reminisced, “I get joy when I think about what He’s done for me.” CeCe Winans continues to inspire with her music, her faith, and her joyful spirit.
