1 September 2017 - Toledo, OH - To help those in Texas affected by Hurricane Harvey, Sanctus Real is wanting to do their part to help, and they are asking for your help too. Today the band announced they are offering their upcoming single, "Changed," two weeks early to their fans in hopes to raise money to directly help the families and community of Rockport, Texas. The band was originally scheduled to perform in Rockport at Seafair on October 15.

"Watching a town we are scheduled to perform in later this Fall get hit by Hurricane Harvey caused us to want to find a way to help immediately," Sanctus Real's Chris Rohman shares. "In the midst of such tragedy we thought that offering our song 'Changed' would be a great way to encourage others that any amount, no matter how big or small, can make an impact for a town like Rockport, Texas. We hope that by giving away a not-yet-released song can help encourage our audience to give to such a needed cause." "Changed" is officially scheduled to release on Sept. 12.

To receive "Changed" as well as their current single "Safe In My Father's Arms," please visit S anctusReal.com. Every amount donated, whether big or small, will go straight to the people of Rockport, TX.

Find out more by visiting the town's website, which features all of the latest information about their relief efforts, a Go Fund Me page as well as letters from the city's mayor.

"CHANGED"

lyrics by Chris Rohman, Dustin Lolli, Benji Cowart and Josh Bronleewe

I thought it’d be different

Was hoping by now

I would be closer

Have it all figured out

Been counting the reasons

Been feeling the weight

Of all of my failures

And every mistake

And though I cannot see

I know you promised me

You’re making a new heart

where the old one used to be

I’m gonna be changed

A little each day

Even when I fall I’ll trust you when you say

I’m gonna be changed

By Your Grace

You won’t let me stay the same as yesterday

I’m gonna be Changed

I look in the mirror

I see in my face

the pain that I’ve carried

Is being replaced

There’s a brighter future

I see it in my eyes

There used to be darkness

but now there’s a fire

And now that I can see

Everything You promised me

You’re making a new heart

I’m not who I used to be

Cause the One who began a good work in me

Is faithful to make me complete

You’re the Author, Perfector, my Hope and my Healer

The reason that I believe

I can change, Oh I can change
