Emerging from the heart of Chicago with a spirit forged in soulful storytelling and gospel reverence, Daniel Earl Jacobs unveils “The Great I Am” — a deeply moving and richly textured gospel anthem that exalts God’s grace, power, and unwavering love. A longtime songwriter finally stepping into the light, Jacobs delivers more than just a song — he offers a testimony of gratitude.
Drawing inspiration from soul, gospel, R&B and jazz legends like Earth, Wind & Fire, Deniece Williams, and War, Daniel infuses his music with the kind of timeless warmth and emotional authenticity that uplifts and inspires. But what sets “The Great I Am” apart is his unique vocal delivery — less traditional singing, more like a heartfelt proclamation. Like a lead pastor guiding a congregation through a sacred moment, Jacobs speaks life into every line, making each word resonate with spiritual weight.
Supported by a heavenly arrangement of soulful instrumentation, the track pulses with crisp drums, reverent keys, and a dynamic brass section led by a striking saxophone that breathes soul into every note. The female choral harmonies that soar behind him bring balance and beauty, adding an angelic presence that turns the song into an immersive worship experience.
At its core, “The Great I Am” is a song of pure worship and thankfulness — an emotional outpouring that acknowledges God’s mercy, miraculous deeds, and the divine strength that carries us through life’s trials. It’s a declaration of faith, a personal revival, and a call to all who are weary to lean on the everlasting arms of the Almighty.
Whether you’re standing in the pews or listening in your quiet place, “The Great I Am” will stir your spirit, warm your soul, and remind you that grace is always within reach.
Daniel Earl Jacobs is here not just to make music, but to minister through melody. And with “The Great I Am”, he invites the world to worship — from a place of brokenness, gratitude, and renewed strength.
