David Funk Debuts New EP

Today, multi-talented singer and Bethel Music artist David Funk has released the Beauty EP, which includes two new versions of his single “Beauty.” The additional versions include a stunning spontaneous live version called “Beauty/We Fall Down” as well as an intimate acoustic version recorded as part of Bethel Music’s ongoing Pine Street Sessions. Originally appearing on Come Up Here, “Beauty” serves as a reminder that God sent his son in his image to earth to allow us to know Him. Listen to the Beauty EP here.

 

“One of the main themes of Beauty is how Jesus came to reveal the Father to us: through His life, His death, and His resurrection,” shares David. “We were inspired by, and tried to capture the heart of, Colossians 1:15-20, as well as the opening of John 1, which says–In response to this revelation of the Lord; seeing Him in all his majesty, we can’t help but join the unending song that the angels and saints sing continually before his throne. My hope is that through this song, listeners are reminded of the gift that it is to know Jesus and through Him, the Father himself.”

 

Hailing from North Georgia, David Funk joined the Bethel Music Collective in 2020. He grew up watching his father play piano on worship teams at their local church and started playing guitar himself at a young age, and began leading worship in high school. David first led “Touch of Heaven/Alabaster Heart (Live)” on a Sunday night at Bethel Church and experienced an anointed holy moment. As Funk’s first single with Bethel Music, the song introduced him in his truest element–ushering in high praise and keeping the focus on Jesus. This song invites the listener to surrender again and again, leaving everything at the feet of Jesus. He also appears on Bethel Music’s albums Homecoming (2021) singing, “Son Of Suffering,” Simple (2022) singing, “Our Jesus,” and Come Up Here singing “Beauty.” David thrives in an environment where everyone is passionately worshiping Jesus. His dream is to lead people into the presence of God, where every person present is solely focused on Him.
