Cochren & Co. borrows a lesson from the story of the Prodigal Son on “What Grace Can Do.” While we assume we might be welcomed home with condemnation, what we discover is a compassionate Father who has been waiting for our return all along, arms wide open.

As Cochren & Co.’s new recording attests, sin is a thief, and shame is a liar; and neither stand a chance in the outstretched arms of a Dad eager to embrace His long-awaited child. A song for anyone who’s ever felt the crushing weight of their mistakes or the shame of regret, this powerful original is a passionate argument for a God who pursues us with love and forgiveness, instead of the anger and judgement we often misassociate with Him.
“We wrote ‘What Grace Can Do’ for anyone carrying shame from your past or your present. God isn’t waiting to punish you; He’s running to meet you. That’s what grace can do,” frontman Michael Cochren shares of the track he wrote with Matthew West and Jeff Pardo. “[I’m] blown away by how this song is connecting with you all.”

“What Grace Can Do” begins as a piano-led ballad and winds its way into a soulful mid-tempo anthem about letting go of guilt and accepting the unconditional mercy of God.
Cochren & Co.’s latest single appears on the outfit’s third studio effort, “Runs In The Blood,” which dropped in May and also features recent fan favorite “Money Can’t Buy.” In support of the project, the group will take their new music to cities this fall on Zach Williams’ “Revival Nights” tour, as well as across a string of headlining shows.
At the top of 2026, the Indiana-bred lead singer and his wife welcomed their first child — a daughter, born on New Year’s Day — following an eight-year infertility journey.
