Tasha Layton is featuring Chris Brown on her latest single 'Worship Through It.'

"I wrote this song about a dear friend who was diagnosed with cancer," says Layton on social media. "I'll say this. Whatever you're walking through, God's got you. He loves you. He has your best interest in mind. I hope that you don't wait until you're on the mountaintop to worship. Worship in the valley."

Brown, featured on Layton's new single, has been a worship leader and singer from the band Elevation Worship for 15 years. 

Exodus 18:1–27

Romans 14:11

'As surely as I live,' says the Lord,
'every knee will bow before me;
    every tongue will acknowledge God.'"
