Multi-Platinum songwriter and worship leader Mack Brock releases his debut Centricity Music album, This Is Holy, Sept. 27. The full-length studio album is a sacred collection of original anthems intended to remind listeners, and Brock’s own heart, that there’s an all-knowing God who is completely sovereign, trustworthy and deserving of all praise.
“This is a worship record giving praise to God and talking about who God is, what He’s done in my life, and what I want my life to look like,” shares Brock. “The fact that we don’t have to jump through hoops to go to God is such a special thing. But so often we forget that it’s holy.”
Reconciling one’s present circumstances with God’s character can be challenging, but Brock’s songs act like a compass, guiding believers toward what is most true. He consistently does this by writing about all the ways he’s found God to be faithful across the story of his life.
Lead single “Time and Time Again,” playing now on Air1 and many more radio outlets, is a testament to that ethos. Brock penned the hope-affirming original with Josh Baldwin and GRAMMY-nominated Hank Bentley. “The heartbeat of that song is looking back and seeing what the Lord has done,” Brock affirms. “It’s such an important tool to build our faith for what’s next.”
This Is Holy also features the anthemic “Just Like You’ve Always Done,” simple, poignant “Be Near” that features GRAMMY-winning Elevation Worship member Jenna Barrientes, triumphant “The Greatest Victory,” and “The Best God,” which features his nine-year-old daughter, Cyrus, who wrote the innocent selection completely on her own.

01) We Praise the Lord
02) Time and Time Again
03) The Greatest Victory
04) Magnify
05) I Will Exalt you (This Is Holy)

The strength of Brock’s new music rides on the hope he finds in the unfolding story his family is living. The South Carolina native and his wife, Meredith, who serves as the CEO of Proverbs 31 Ministries, have three children. Having discovered the unexpected joy in foster parenting, the couple welcomed their youngest, Zah’mere, by way of fostering and then adoption earlier this year. They also have two biological children, Harvey and Cyrus, and remain a licensed foster family.
