Florence, SC – November 15, 2024
Pilgrim, Press On, a collection of alternative folk worship songs, is now available. Written by Chelsea Hamshaw, a Bible teacher, worship leader and songwriter, this album weaves Scripture, faith, and raw personal experience into music that resonates with both the sorrows and joys of life.

The songs on Pilgrim, Press On were written during a season marked by trial and faith, including the harrowing journey of nearly losing her husband to stage 4 cancer. These experiences have shaped the album’s themes of perseverance, hope, and the sustaining presence of God in all circumstances.

“These songs are the pouring out of my heart before the Lord and how He met me in these vulnerable places. Sorrow and Trust are interwoven in every step of this story” Chelsea shares. “My hope is that these songs will offer encouragement to others on their own journey and point them to the steadfast love of God.”

Rooted in her Anglican faith, the album draws on a rich blend of ancient hymnody and modern folk influences. Each song beckons the listener toward a deeper encounter with the enduring presence of God, offering melodies and lyrics that invite lament, comfort, and worship.
