Chicago-based gospel artist Sunvera Scott returns with a testimony-driven new one titled “This Is Not The First Time.”
She’s built her whole catalogue around this kind of declaration. Records like “God Remember Me” and “Your Name Is Powerful” already show her leaning into personal breakthrough stories over polished production. This one continues that thread, framing recurring victory as proof of God’s consistent faithfulness. It’s the kind of message her Chicago gospel base always responds to.
Production stays warm and worship-centered, built around gentle keys and steady, unhurried percussion. Nothing rushes toward a big moment. The arrangement leaves plenty of space for her voice to lead, keeping the focus on testimony instead of spectacle.
Sunvera Scott delivers her vocals with quiet confidence, tracing a pattern of repeated deliverance through her verses. She’s not claiming a single miracle here, she’s naming a habit of God showing up again and again. That repetition becomes the whole emotional engine of the song, familiar grace instead of a one-time rescue.
This Is Not The First Time works because it trusts a simple, personal truth over any dramatic buildup. Scott’s just telling her story straight, and that honesty carries the whole record.
Let this one settle in during quiet reflection, especially on a day that needs reminding.
