About the Artist
Charity Gayle
Charity Gayle houses a powerful voice that has a fresh yet reminiscent sound. She loves the Lord with a fierce faith and was raised in a home full of worship. Growing up in Buffalo, NY, Charity was involved in ministry since she was a child and thrived in a community that worshipped with a focus on unity and diversity.
Surrounded by worship, and the Word, her love for praising Jesus through music grew as she did. One of her favorite things growing up was watching her mom direct choir at Thursday night choir practice and by the age of 16, she was directing multiple choirs herself. “I love harmonies in gospel music. I think about Heaven being full of every type of voice from every nation, finding their part and praising God at the top of their lungs together around the Throne.”
Charity spent two years in Nashville where she fell more in love with the art of writing songs for the church. Her songs focus on bridging the genre gap between worship and gospel music. Her first album, ‘Lord, You are my Song, debuted at #1 in the Christian and Gospel genre in January 2018. In 2021, she released her breakthrough album ‘Endless Praise’, featuring songs like ‘Thank You Jesus for the Blood’ also debuting at #1, and “I Speak Jesus”. Since the release of ‘Endless Praise’, Charity’s music has amassed over half a billion streams worldwide.
In 2024, Charity released her newest album “Rejoice”, featuring the song “I Believe”.‘Rejoice’ is a declaration of truth, written as a resource of encouragement for believers across the globe. After a sold out tour in the fall of 2024, Charity and her team are thrilled to be bringing the “Rejoice Tour” back in 2025, expectant for God to move powerfully at each stop.
Charity lives and leads worship with her husband, Ryan Kennedy in Houston, TX where they are cultivating a movement for 24-hour prayer and worship called GatherHouse, and are continuing to write and spread the gospel in the US and globally.

The Lyrics
From the beginning
You’ve been unchanging
Age to age You stay
Constant You remain
Every mystery
The questions I’ve carried
Are safe within Your will
So I trust You even still
I believe You are who You say You are
You do what You say You’ll do
You’ll come through, You are always able
I believe You’ve already made a way
So I’m running through parted waves
Straight to You, You are always faithful
Jesus, You’re for me
Holding me steady (every word)
Every word You speak
Is a promise that You keep
This firm foundation (cannot be shaken)
Cannot be shaken (oh, oh, oh)
My God, You never fail
Never once, You never will
I believe You are who You say You are
You do what You say You’ll do (You’ll come through)
You’ll come through, You are always able
I believe (yes) You’ve already made a way (so I’m running)
(Yeah) so I’m running through parted waves (straight to You)
Straight to You, You are always faithful
I believe (yes, in the Mighty name of Jesus), I believe (oh, oh)
That on that cross Your blood was spilled
And by Your stripes I have been healed
And every promise You’ve fulfilled
I believe, I believe
That You rose again in victory
And that same power lives in me
I’m born again, I’ve been made free (yes)
I believe (I believe), I believe (oh, oh)
That the gates of hell will not prevail
Your church is still alive and well
This gospel truth I live to tell
I believe (yes), I believe (that one day)
That one day soon You’ll split the sky
You’re coming for a spotless bride
Until my faith has been made sight
I believe, I believe
I believe (You are) You are who You say You are
(You do what You say) You do what You say You’ll do
(You’ll come through) You’ll come through, You are always able
I believe (You’ve already) You’ve already made a way
(So I’m running) so I’m running through parted waves
Straight to You, You are always faithful
I believe (in the gospel of Jesus Christ), I believe
And on that day, I’ve run my race
I’ll finally see You face to face
And nothing then will separate
I believe, I believe
I’ll join with every tribe and tongue
And bow before the Lamb of God
Singing Holy, Holy, Holy One
I believe, I believe
