Reba McEntire’s latest album, Sing It Now: Songs of Faith and Hope, featuring her single, “Back to God,” is her first inspirational record, and she says, “Some [of the songs] were so tender that it was hard for me to sing but that’s when the Holy Spirit’s in me.”

In fact, Reba says she relies on the Holy Spirit to help her through all aspects of her life.  Every morning she prays, “Holy Spirit think for me, talk for me, help me sing this song, walk for me, just be there every breath I breathe.”  And she says, “I did that this morning. Give me the words you want me to say, help me sing this song. And it just works out like that. And when I sing it, it will either be sweet or it’ll be a preaching message but it all comes out the way it’s supposed to because of the help I get.”

The new version of “Back to God,” featuring Reba singing with contemporary Christian star Lauren Daigle, is available now on iTunes.
