NASHVILLE (July 24, 2026) -- GRAMMY�-nominated singer Autumn Nelon releases her deeply personal new single, "I'll Find You," today through Gaither Music Group. Released just two days before the second anniversary of the loss of her family and close friends -- including her mother, Kelly Nelon Clark, and sister, Amber Nelon Kistler, both beloved members of the acclaimed Gospel group The Nelons, along with family friend Melodi Hodges. "I'll Find You" was penned by Nelon, alongside Joseph Habedank and Kenna Turner West in 2025, less than one year after the tragic event. The lyrics give voice to the questions, heartbreak, and longing that accompanied Nelon's loss while ultimately pointing listeners toward the assurance of heaven and the joy of reunion with loved ones.

In July 2024, while traveling to join the Gaither Homecoming Alaska Cruise, members of The Nelons and members of their team lost their lives in a plane accident. Autumn, who had traveled separately, was the only surviving member of the Gospel music group.

Anchored by Nelon's emotional performance, the heartfelt recording reflects both the reality of grief and the unshakable hope found in God's promise of eternity, reminding listeners that, through faith, goodbye is never the end of the story.

"There are moments when grief leaves you with more questions than answers," said Nelon. "This song gave voice to so many of the emotions I've carried over the past two years, but more importantly, it reminds me that because of Jesus, loss is never the end of the story. I hold on to the hope that one day I'll see my family again, and I pray this song brings comfort to anyone who's missing someone they love."

As the only surviving performing member of the beloved Gospel music family, Nelon has continued to carry forward The Nelons' legacy with remarkable grace, encouraging audiences with unwavering faith in the midst of profound personal loss. While honoring the foundation laid by generations before her, she continues to establish her own voice through music that is both deeply personal and firmly rooted in hope.

"One of the hardest parts of grief is knowing how much my mom and sister have missed here on earth, including meeting my first child," said Nelon. "There are so many moments I wish I could share with them, and that's reflected throughout this song. But I also believe they're seeing my life unfold in ways I can't fully understand yet. Every time I sing, I hope I'm honoring the legacy they left behind, and I pray they'd be proud of the life and ministry I'm continuing in their memory."

"'I'll Find You' is more than a beautiful song; it's a testimony," said Paul Sizelove, President of Sun Label Group and Gaither Music Group. "Autumn has chosen to share one of the most personal chapters of her life with honesty, grace and unwavering faith. We believe this recording will minister to countless people who are walking through grief by reminding them that, in Christ, our greatest hope is the promise of eternal reunion."

Raised among the rich harmonies and timeless songs that made The Nelons one of Gospel music's most beloved families, Nelon blends Southern Gospel traditions with contemporary worship influences and a touch of country. Her authenticity, warmth and heartfelt delivery continue to resonate with audiences, offering encouragement through songs that point listeners toward Christ.

"I'll Find You" is available now on all digital streaming platforms on digital audio and video.

Lyrics:

I Will Find You
Didn't even get to say goodbye
Got so many questions in my mind
Tried my best to make it all make sense
But it don't make sense
No, it don't make sense
So tired of crying myself to sleep
Didn't know my heart could hurt so deep
But there's a promise that I believe
That beyond all this. Yeah, beyond all this
There's a place that feels like home
With a love like I've never known
One day I'll get there
I'm gonna get there
The first place I'm gonna go is to the Savior's throne
And the next thing I'll do
I'll find you
I can't wait to tell you all you missed
I hope I made you proud in all I did
I just want us all together again
All together again
We'll be together again
In that place that feels like home
With a love like I've never known
One day I'll get there
I'm gonna get there
The first place I'm gonna go is to the Savior's throne
And the next thing I'll do
I'll find you
But then again maybe I won't have to look
'Cause you'll find me
In that place that feels like home
With a love like I've never known
In that place that feels like home
With a love like I've never known
One day I'll get there
I'm gonna get there
The first place I'm gonna go is to the Savior's throne
And the next thing I'll do
Oh the next thing that I'm gonna do
I'll find you
