Lydia Hamby Releases Gospel Single “Paid In Full”
Sevierville, TN — Gravy Records is proud to announce that “Paid In Full,” the newest single from vocalist, mandolinist and songwriter Lydia Hamby, is available today on all streaming and digital music platforms.
Written by Hamby, “Paid In Full” blends bluegrass instrumentation with a message rooted in faith, reflection, and encouragement. Inspired by a Sunday sermon that deeply resonated with her, Lydia wrote the song as a reminder of grace and hope for anyone who may need it.
Hamby shares, “Paid In Full was written after church one Sunday, following a sermon I really needed to hear. I was encouraged by the reminder that when Jesus died on the cross, He didn’t just pay for our sins part of the way — He paid them in full. I hope this song brings that same encouragement to anyone who hears it.”
