Justin Gambino Releases New Single 'Let Me Not Forget'

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Award-winning Residence Music singer/songwriter Justin Gambino returns with “Let Me Not Forget,” a moving contemplation of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Now available on streaming platforms, the reflective piano/strings ballad was produced by Walter Halliwell and penned by Gambino, Halliwell and Tony Wood.

Arriving on the cusp of Holy Week, “Let Me Not Forget” bears the hallmarks of a timeless hymn—an immediately resonant melody that elevates impassioned, Truth-filled lyrics: “Let me not forget that day so dark/Let me not forget Your open arms/Should I not remember how Love would reach so far/Let me not forget Your scars.”

“The song was written and a demo was recorded in less than four hours, and we all knew we had something very special,” Gambino recalls. “With the production, I didn’t want the listener to have to work to understand the lyrics—it’s a song that asks for breath. Every detail that went into creating ‘Let Me Not Forget’ was intentional, and I believe was Holy Spirit inspired.”

The debut single from Gambino’s first-ever worship set, Garden of the Lord—slated for release later this spring—“Let Me Not Forget” compels conviction and extends hope. “The mind is the devil’s playground and if we allow it, what we will remember throughout the day is what someone else did to us; the gossip or rumors told about us or others; the grief we’re going through; the fear, doubt and anxiety that keep knocking on the doors of our minds,” Gambino explains. “But if we choose to focus on Jesus and His scars, all those things have no other place but beneath the peace that comes from remembering the price that was paid on Calvary.”
