Brandon Lake’s song inspires children’s book written with his wife

After Brandon Lake wrote “Gratitude,” the song inspired him and his wife, Brittany Lake, to create a book for children about taking their gifts to God.

“So it’s inspired by the song ‘Gratitude,'” Brittany explained of the book titled “Little Lion Lungs” on June 7. “We have three boys…And what better tool to help our children learn worship? What it means to bring a gift to the king, and that’s just the heart.

“And Brandon had a dream, and we finally said, let’s do it,” she said on FOX & FRIENDS. “It’s time.”

“Little Lion Lungs” was born from an idea for a clothing line.

“I was doodling a lion and so many kids came out of those shows inspired by the lyrics to ‘Gratitude’: ‘You’ve got a lion in your lungs.’ Stand up and praise the Lord. Much like David did in the Bible. “Bless the Lord, oh my soul,” Brandon said.

“And so we wanted to create a resource for our own children, but then we realized that this could, with the height of this song, impact the lives of thousands, if not millions of children and teach them, what does even a hallelujah? We sing this; we say that,” Brandon continued.

The book tells the story of a lion who is looking for a gift for a king. He finds nothing, but the king tells him that his voice is enough and that it is his heart that the king wants.

“We truly hope this book is a blessing to your family,” Brandon said on Instagram.

About all that God has done in his life, Brandon said on FOX & FRIENDS: “Yeah, all of God, really. We are blown away. Obviously, we have a ton of gratitude in our hearts for everything he’s done.

“My tour, ‘Tear Off the Roof Tour’ – that’s one of the songs on my record, ‘Coat of Many Colors’ – and the idea is we’re going to go across the country and rip the roof off like that story in the Bible. Get as many people in the room together, in the presence of God,” he shared.

“We believe there is nothing like God’s people singing God’s praises in the presence of God and we simply know that it transforms lives. Traveling around the country…we just hit 20 dates and it was so good. This was supposed to be the end, and (I’m) grateful my wife said to me, ‘You can do 12 more.’

Brandon has just added 12 additional dates to his tour in October.

“(I’m) so excited and honored to be able to do this. To be able to sing these songs. And see so many thousands of people come out and people have given their lives to Christ.

Brandon also shared the dates on his Instagram last month.

“SURPRISE!!! WE HAVE STILL MORE ROOF TO TEAR UP FOR ALL! ” he shared with fans.

He continued: “Text “ROOF” to +1 (843) 396-5110 to get early access to tickets!! What show are you coming to??

“Every night I share the Gospel, and it’s very rock and roll. And it’s also a ton of adoration. It’s a lot of fun,” he said on FOX & FRIENDS.

FOX & FRIENDS host Ainsley Earhardt added that one of the FOX staff members found Jesus after listening to Brandon’s music.

Movieguide® recently reported on Brandon:

Christian artist Brandon Lake encourages worship leaders to “(seek) the Lord in everything.”

“If I had any encouragement for a young worship leader, I would say first of all, come out of fear and come into faith,” he said in a conversation with fellow artist Christian Phil Wickham. “There’s never a time when I launch into something, if you want to call it spontaneous or prophetic, that I’m not terrified.”
