Michael W. Smith Releases Instrumental Single ‘Cry For Hope’ in Response to Ukraine News

Nashville, TN (April 6, 2022)
GRAMMY winning, multi-platinum selling Christian music artist Michael W. Smith is releasing his moving new instrumental single “Cry For Hope” in response to the current devastation in Ukraine.

“After watching the news and the devastation in Ukraine, like most of the world I was in tears. Over the next few days this melody just kept coming back to me and just spoke a message that no words could convey,” Smith says.

“Cry For Hope” was recorded with the Nashville Recording Orchestra and Smith on piano. His good friend David Hamilton led the orchestration and co-produced the song with Smith.

A portion of the proceeds of “Cry For Hope” will be distributed to Ukraine aid.
