““Our new single, ‘A Place to Spend the Night,’ is an uplifting song which encourages believers that death is not the end, and the grave is only temporary,” says Rebekah Shields, who indeed takes the lead on this uplifting meditation on Christ’s promise of eternal life. “Written by songwriter extraordinaire Kyla Rowland, we hope this song will be a blessing and comfort!”

While their debut for Horizon, “He’s Still God,” uses country flavors to convey its affirmation of the Lord’s eternal presence, the new single nods to the rich array of African-American gospel sounds, beginning with the interplay of piano and B3 organ that outlines its stately 6/8 rhythm. With Rebekah’s siblings Hannah and Samuel chiming in on the song’s spirited chorus, “A Place to Spend the Night” is an impressive demonstration of the family’s versatility — and a joyful celebration of salvation’s victory over death.

Death is a dread for everyone
But it’s surely going to come
Unless the Lord sees fit to return before we die
Oh, but I'm not afraid to face the grave
For very soon it will be day
And I know I'll just have to stay there overnight

It’s just a place to spend the night
A place to rest before my flight
Morning will come with the shout of my King
And I will rise so high above the clouds, beyond the sky
It’s not a grave, it’s just a place to spend the night

About The Rogers Family
The Rogers Family traces its roots to Northeast Georgia, where Ray and Helen Rogers began singing in local churches alongside their daughter, Kim, who also played the piano.

Kim later met Sammy Shields at a church in North Carolina, and the two were married in 1999. They eventually made their home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where they raised their three children: Rebekah, Samuel, and Hannah.

After Ray’s passing in 2010, the next generation began to take a more active role in the music ministry. Today, the family continues to sing together, with the children often leading, while Kim and Helen remain active and passionate participants.

The current group — Helen, Kim, Sammy, Rebekah, Samuel, and Hannah — travels and shares their love of Southern Gospel music. With Kim still at the piano, the Rogers Family is honored to carry on the cherished tradition of faith-filled music and ministry.
