Designed as complementary listening experiences, FOR THE HOUSE was crafted for the gathered Church, while for the home offers an intimate and reflective collection of songs for everyday moments with God. Together, the projects embody Bella’s heart to resource believers both corporately and personally, recognizing the deep connection between worship within the Church and a personal relationship with Jesus.
“The Church and our relationship with Jesus personally are so intertwined,” shares Bella Taylor Smith. “I wanted to create music that could resource people both corporately and personally, songs that meet people in the worship gathering, but also in the quiet moments at home with God.”
The deluxe releases mark the completion of a vision Bella has carried since the project’s beginning, as these songs were always meant to exist together. The special edition is a complete picture of a project intended to be experienced as a single body of work.
A special highlight of the deluxe release is the brand-new track “AFFECTION,” the project’s final bonus track. Written for FOR THE HOUSE alongside Josh Cole, Josh Farro and Passion’s Melodie Malone, the song is a heartfelt expression of worship centered on returning to Jesus as our first love. Built around the imagery of pouring out our affection at the feet of Jesus, “AFFECTION” serves as a powerful reminder to reignite the fire of devotion in our hearts and surrender ourselves afresh to the Lord.
