William J. McRea is a worship artist, songwriter, and ministry leader whose music and calling flow from a life transformed by faith. As the ministry leader for Celebrate Recovery at Summit Church in San Antonio and founder of Recovery Path Charities, William lives out his mission of bringing hope, healing, and restoration to those in need. His songs are an extension of that ministry, carrying the same message of freedom and grace to listeners everywhere.
His catalog reflects both the struggles and triumphs of walking with Christ. From Set Me Free and Free In Deed, which celebrate the power of redemption, to Unstoppable Love and Your Grace is Enough, which proclaim the relentless mercy of God, William’s music speaks to the heart of the believer’s journey. In Renew My Mind and I’ll Trust You Always, he offers intimate prayers of surrender, while The Pride of Life reminds us to walk humbly before God. Uplifting anthems like Rise Like Eagles and Season and Time point to God’s strength and perfect timing.
With his latest project, Love Poured Out, William deepens this message. Songs like Love Never Fails and Your Banner Over Me remind us of the sustaining power of God’s love in relationships. The title track, Love Poured Out, testifies to Christ’s sacrifice as the ultimate expression of love. And in powerful moments such as When the Earth Cried Out, William reflects on God’s judgment, grace, and redemption woven together. These new songs broaden his artistry while staying true to his heart for worship and ministry.
William’s music is both worshipful and personal, blending heartfelt lyrics with melodies that lift the spirit. His songs are not just performances but invitations into a deeper relationship with Christ. Through his dual role as artist and ministry leader, he seeks to inspire others to walk in freedom, to trust God’s grace, and to discover lasting hope.
At the heart of all he does—whether in ministry or through music—is a simple but powerful truth: Jesus changes lives.
