Today, Bethel Music Collective artist Zahriya Zachary has released the Surrounded By Holy EP which includes a new live version of “Surrounded by Holy” recorded at this year’s Worship School. The introspective single was originally released as part of Bethel Music’s Come Up Here earlier this year and speaks to the majesty that God has created. Listen to the Surrounded By Holy EP HERE.

“”Surrounded by Holy” is about the throne room of heaven and the never-ending song that is taking place, as the saints and angels behold the lamb of God,” shares Zahriya. “Here on earth, when we enter into His presence, our natural response is to join in with the song of heaven. Leading this live at Worship School was such a powerful moment and there was no denying He was with us in that room. As we're filled with His presence, it leaves us in wonder and awe of Him.”

Born and raised in Spring, Texas, Zahriya Zachary didn’t come from a musical family, but her love of music began at the early age of six while learning to play the piano. She began leading worship when she was a freshman in college after the Lord clearly spoke to her and told her that it was time. Throughout her time in college, she began volunteering on her church’s worship team while the Lord was teaching her more about what it means to have a worshiper’s heart. Zahriya made her Bethel Music debut on Homecoming (2021) where she led “Back To Life” and joined Brian Johnson in leading “Hymn Of Heaven”. Her debut solo single, “Simple Ways”, was released in the summer of 2022 and reflects on the simple joys that often go overlooked in the chaos of day-to-day life. Most recently, she appears on Come Up Here (2023) leading “Surrounded By Holy”. Zahriya believes that worship is the place where we belong and her heart is that people will be led to Jesus through her.

About Bethel Music

Bethel Music is a worship movement dedicated to pursuing the presence of God and capturing fresh expressions of worship out of Redding, California. Since forming in 2001, Bethel Music has grown from a local church music ministry to a global collective of songwriters, artists, and musicians. The movement was co-founded by Brian and Jenn Johnson with a mission to raise up worshippers who take hold of their true identity and pursue intimacy with God above all else.

The Bethel Music collective has released 17 worship albums each of which carry a unique theme and feature some of the most recognized artists in the genre, the most recent releases being Homecoming (2021), Peace, Vol. II (2021), and Simple (2022). In 2021, the label was nominated for 6 Dove Awards, followed by another 11 in 2022, spanning categories from Songwriter of the Year and Worship Album of the Year to Inspirational and Rock/Contemporary Songs of the Year.

As a youthful label of only 13 years, Bethel Music has broken records, consistently ranking in CCLI’s top 25 songs since 2013. Most notably “Goodness of God” holds the record for most weeks at No. 1 with 68 weeks and “This Is Amazing Grace” has ranked in the 25 songs since 2014, “No Longer Slaves” since 2016, and “The Lion and the Lamb” since 2017. In addition, “Reckless Love” has appeared in the top 10 since 2018 and “Living Hope” in the top 10 since 2019. Hitting a new stride over the last few years, Bethel Music has continually ranked at #6 in the top 10 radio market share.

In 2023, Bethel Music released their most ambitious album to date, Come Up Here. The project, two years in the making, was recorded in the heart of the Redwoods of Northern California and embodies everything that Bethel Music stands for musically, lyrically, and visually.
