Don’t miss this incredible collaboration between NEEDTOBREATHE and Tori Kelly’s soul-stirring ‘I’ve Got a Story’ music video. Some songs don’t just play through the speakers—they take you by the hand, walk you through the wreckage, and whisper, this isn’t the end. Some songs feel like the embers of a wildfire, still smoldering with the heat of something holy. 

NEEDTOBREATHE’s latest release, ‘I’ve Got a Story,’  featuring the incomparable Tori Kelly, is one of those songs. There’s something about a song that tells the truth—the raw, aching, burned-to-the-ground truth. The kind that doesn’t pretend life isn’t hard, that doesn’t gloss over the broken pieces, but instead, gathers them up and says, look what God can do.

The lyrics echo the age-old truth we see time and time again in Scripture: the fall always comes before the rising. From the valley of dry bones to the throne of a shepherd king, God breathes life into what seemed lost. It’s in the wreckage that we finally see what’s been holding us all along. It’s in surrender that we find strength.

The pairing of Bear Rinehart’s gravel-and-glory vocals with Tori Kelly’s unmistakable, soaring range makes this song a soul-baring experience. You don’t just listen—you feel it deep in your bones. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to roll down the car windows, throw up your hands, and shout into the wind, Hallelujah, I’m still standing! And isn’t that the heart of  God? A reminder that we don’t have to clean up our stories to make them worthy. We just have to bring them to God—because He’s the One who turns ashes into beauty.

This is for the ones who feel like their story is over. The ones who are staring at the mess, wondering if anything good can come from it. The ones who are afraid the fire took too much. Let this song be your reminder: The fire didn’t destroy you. It refined you. Your story isn’t over. It’s just getting started.

Watch this incredible music video of ‘I’ve Got a Story’ and let the anthem wash over you. And don’t forget: the same God who gave David a new name and a new future is still in the business of rewriting stories—including yours.

Isaiah 61:3 "To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory."
