"Joy, rolling like the thunder rumbles/ Time to let the teardrops tumble/ Listen to the hatred crumble/ Now that I have joy, flying on the wings of angels/ Rattling the chains untangled/ I see me from a different angle/ Now I have joy," Stapleton sings.

Blessings and Miracles will also include collaborations with Rob Thomas, G-Eazy, Diane Warren, Steve Winwood, Chick Corea, Rick Rubin, Corey Glover, Kirk Hammett, Ally Brooke, American Authors and Narada Michael Walden.
