“When I Was Saved” is a heartfelt Contemporary Christian single rooted in Luke 23:26–43, the powerful account of Christ’s journey to the cross and the exchange with the repentant thief. Written in December 2024, the song reflects on the sacred tension of that faithful day — the weight of sacrifice, the anguish of heaven, and the quiet triumph unfolding on a prophetic hillside.
Blending elements of Pop, Rock, Country, and Folk, the song carries both intimacy and strength. Its chorus declares the paradox at the center of the Gospel: “I was saved the day my best friend died.” Through imagery of tears, collision, and redemption, it invites listeners to stand at the foot of the cross and remember what was given — and what was gained.
Featuring the spiritual vocals of Liz Collins, a longtime sister in Christ, the track weaves harmony and testimony into a moving declaration of gratitude and awe. “When I Was Saved” will be featured on the upcoming Dreaming with God project, scheduled for release in Summer 2026. ~ E.M.
