Abby Robertson Reveals How Her Struggles Gave Birth to "Sanctuary (Live from Ocean Way)"

Abby Robertson has recently released her brand new single "Sanctuary (Live from Ocean Way)." The song was recorded live at the famed Ocean Way Nashville Studio. Based on Psalm 150:1, the song speaks of finding God as a safe place when the world around is falling apart. Robertson reveals that song came from a difficult time when her dad was suffering from a major health problem.
Listen to "Sanctuary" HERE.
"I remember my mom reaching for a Bible when my dad was struggling with this health issue and randomly flipping to Psalm 150:1, which says, 'Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.' Me, my Mom, brother & Dad all praised God in that moment--a moment that would later become this song."
You gave me a place
Where I could find rest
Your love gave me strength
When I ran out of breathNobody knows me like you do
Jesus, I run to youWherever I am There You are
Whenever I fall it's into your arms
When clouds around me gather
You are my shelter
"Music is memory muscle," Abby explains, "so I just remembered how to sing things and then I'd remember how to actually speak and read things....That's how it all started. It was me having a struggle, me loving music and [working through] that struggle with music."
It is Roberston's goal to always craft music that goes deeper --- music that connects us with our struggles and with God. "My goal in life is to write music that resonates with everybody," says Abby, "not just that feel-good music, which is amazing, but a lot of times I need people to go deeper with me, and I need them to be real and tell me their struggles and tell me what they've been through."
This is what listeners will find in Abby's songs--an honest voice, unafraid of telling the truth and pointing others toward it.
As she says, "I'm a human, and I'm going through it, and I love Jesus, and that's what gets me through."
