Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Josh Bissell for Kingdom Builder TV, where we discussed his music, faith journey, and how he’s using his platform to reach people beyond the Sunday service. Josh is passionate about crafting songs that resonate not only in church but also in the everyday lives of believers. Our conversation provided insight into his heart for worship, songwriting, and his latest release, “Wandering Heart,” featuring Davies.

A Review of “Wandering Heart” featuring Davies

Josh Bissell’s latest song, “Wandering Heart,” is a deeply worshipful track that captures themes of God’s unwavering love and grace. From the first note, the song carries a sincerity that makes it easy to imagine in a congregational worship setting. In fact, its style is reminiscent of something Tauren Wells might sing—unsurprising given that Josh leads worship at Tauren’s church.

Davies’ contribution to the revisited track adds a rich, soulful element that elevates the song even further. His vocals complement Josh’s, bringing an emotional depth that enhances the worship experience. It’s the kind of song where you can easily picture churchgoers raising their hands in praise, fully immersed in the lyrics and melody.

However, as Josh emphasized during our conversation, his goal isn’t just to write songs for Sundays. He’s crafting music for the “Monday Christian”—the believer navigating faith in everyday life. “Wandering Heart” embodies that mission, offering encouragement beyond the walls of the church. The lyrics speak directly to those who have ever felt lost or unworthy, reminding them that their worth is already defined by God’s love.

Lyrically, the song captures the struggle of feeling distant from God while reaffirming the truth that He never leaves us. Lines like “I feel like I’m not enough, and I don’t deserve Your love… But You already defined the worth of my wandering heart” speak to the universal human experience of wrestling with doubt and insecurity. Yet, rather than dwelling in that struggle, the song points to the unwavering grace of God.

Musically, “Wandering Heart” has a dynamic arrangement that builds in intensity, drawing the listener into a place of reflection and worship. The blend of contemporary pop production with gospel and worship elements makes it both accessible and deeply moving. The balance between Josh’s heartfelt delivery and Davies’ soulful vocals creates a compelling contrast, making the song even more impactful.

Final Thoughts

“Wandering Heart” is a solid track that delivers both musically and spiritually. It’s a song that will resonate with fans of worship music, particularly those who appreciate the artistry of Tauren Wells. The sincerity in both the lyrics and performance makes it a song that invites listeners to not only worship but also reflect on God’s faithfulness in their daily walk.

Beyond this release, Josh has more in store, including a reimagining of his song “Clues” coming in April. If “Wandering Heart” is any indication of what’s to come, I’m eager to hear how he continues to blend worshipful artistry with real-life faith experiences.

For anyone looking for new worship music that speaks to both the mountaintop and the everyday moments of faith, “Wandering Heart” is definitely worth adding to your playlist.
