GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, CeCe Winans, is gracing ears and uplifting hearts on a new single, “Beautifully Broken,” the title cut from the soundtrack of the film of the same name.
Beautifully Broken the movie, which releases theatrically Aug. 24, chronicles a refugee’s escape, a prisoner’s promise, and a daughter’s painful secret that all blend to create a powerful story of hope.
“Even a million scars doesn’t change who you are,” belts Winans, 53, reminding us all that our lives, though marred with painful memories, mistakes and hardships, is still a beautiful tapestry because we belong to God.
In the film, set to play in 600 theatres, three fathers in various situations fight to save their families when God divinely orchestrates the intertwining of their lives across the globe. Each learns the healing power of forgiveness and reconciliation.
“I know a lot of broken people will be healed through this song and that inspires me,” Winans said. “Once I heard it, I felt it had a powerful message so I was honored to record it.”
