The six-track project features previously released singles “Better Days Remix” featuring Emcee N.I.C.E., “Serenity Prayer,” and “Just For Today,” alongside a moving acoustic rendition of “Just For Today.”
At the heart of the EP is its focus track, “Gratitude”–a powerful reimagining of Brandon Lake’s modern worship anthem. With Hawkins’ signature blend of soulful gospel vocals and emotional depth, “Gratitude” becomes a heartfelt declaration of healing, surrender, and renewed faith.
The 6-song project captures the raw beauty of recovery through songs that blend worship, honesty, and celebration. Each track reflects a step along the recovery journey, offering encouragement to anyone walking through brokenness toward restoration.
Through his nonprofit organization, The Recovery Gathering, Hawkins continues to amplify this mission beyond the music–creating spaces of community, worship, and connection for those navigating addiction, trauma, and mental health challenges. With features on The Word Network, BET, TBN, and the Impact Network, along with Billboard-charting success and collaborations with artists like Wess Morgan and Sir The Baptist, Hawkins stands as one of gospel music’s most authentic and influential voices of hope.
The Recovery Journey isn’t just a record–it’s a movement. It’s an anthem for anyone seeking healing and proof that gratitude truly is the gateway to freedom.
The Recovery Journey is available now on all streaming platforms.
