NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Singer/songwriter and worship leader Michael Sarver is giving GodTube viewers an early listen to his brand-new single, “Count It All Joy,” premiering today exclusively on GodTube one day before its official release everywhere tomorrow.

Delivering a compelling new pop anthem just in time for summer, “Count It All Joy” arrives from S&G Music Enterprises, distributed by WieRise Music. The unexpected track carries a timely message of perseverance, offering encouragement for anyone walking through a difficult season.

Penned by Sarver, Dan Macal and Chris Molitor, “Count It All Joy” was inspired by James 1:2-3: “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.”

Balancing the pain, suffering and hardships of life with the unwavering truth of God’s faithfulness, the song reflects Sarver’s own journey. Following his rapid rise to fame as a Top 10 finalist on American Idol and a subsequent season in country music, Sarver experienced both opportunity and disappointment. Through the valleys, he says he learned the power of choosing joy and trusting God even when the path ahead is unclear.

“The heart behind ‘Count It All Joy’ is to uplift and encourage,” Sarver shares. “This song carries such an important message—joy isn’t circumstantial, it’s a choice and decision to walk in joy through everything. It’s not pretending everything is okay, it’s choosing to trust God's character while you're still waiting to understand His plan.”

With its upbeat sound and deeply rooted message of faith, “Count It All Joy” invites listeners to hold onto hope in the middle of trials and remember that God is still working, even in the waiting.
