Christian artist and songwriter Brandon Lake turned a recent performance at the Country Music Association's 2025 Fest into a time of worship. 

The popular Grammy award-winning singer performed in front of a massive crowd on Sunday, taking the country music festival to church. 

He performed "Gratitude," with the crowd rising to their feet with their arms stretched up, singing along and worshipping to the powerful song.

"This is a country music fest? And the entire audience sings this song? What does that tell you......Christ is on the move. It makes me tear up," said one fan.

"You just took those people to church. Praising the Lord and lifting their hands to our saviour," said another fan. "What a beautiful sight."

Lake was also visibly moved by the crowd as he watched the crowd close their eyes, raise their hands and sing each word of the song. 

"God is so good," said Lake in a post on Instagram. 

Lake is now preparing to hit the road alongside Phil Wickham and Josiah Queen for the Summer Worship Nights tour.
