For his first release of 2019, John Legend decides to take us to church and hit us with a powerful new single called “Preach,” which finds him addressing his faith & wanting people to put action behind their words to make change in this world.
“I grew up in the church and one of the things we talked about was loving our neighbors as we love ourselves,” Legend said in a recent Instagram video promoting the new song. “My preacher told me that our neighbor wasn’t just the person that lives next door to you but other people whom you might not even know.”

Quotable Lyrics:
I can't sit and hope
I can't just sit and pray that
I can find a love when all I see is pain
I'm falling to my knees
And though I do believe
I can't just preach, baby, preach
Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh
I can't just preach, baby, preach
