Lincoln Brewster Releases 'Oxygen'; First New Album in 4 Years Recorded During Wife's Cancer Battle (VIDEO)

Recording artist and worship leader Lincoln Brewster released his first new album in four years, Oxygen, today.

Brewster recorded these songs in the midst of a storm in his life. His wife had been battling with a rare form of cancer.

"When you focus on the certainties of God in the middle of your uncertainty, you breathe in and exhale and put one foot in front of the other until you finish what He has put you here to do," Brewster said in a release. "We mix up facts and Truth all the time, but Truth doesn't change because of facts. My job as a worship leader is to sing and speak Truth whether I feel it or not. Whether the facts of our lives seem to match up or not, the Truth is we exist to praise God." 

Oxygen was produced by Brewster and Colby Wedgeworth and features 11 new songs, 10 of them co-written by Brewster. The album's first single, "Made New," is currently garnering airplay at Christian radio stations across the country.
