Hawk Nelson - "Drops in The Ocean"

Hawk Nelson recently dropped by Air1Radio to speak about their single "Drops in the Ocean," and lead singer Jon Steingard said God is exactly like the song says, "He is for us, not against us. He is not standing over us waiting for us to fail, He is standing behind us cheering us on."

He continued, "That's kinda how "Drops in the Ocean' came about. It was the idea of thinking of our sin and shame as something as this tiny thing just totally engulfed by this ocean of God's grace, love, and forgiveness"

Watch the song performance below:

Fans can now pre-order the digital album Diamonds on iTunes and Amazon and receive an instant download of the song, "Thank God For Something," as well as the radio single "Drops In The Ocean."
