The full album was nominated in the categories of Album of the Year, Contemporary Album of the Year and Praise and Worship Album of the Year. The "Yahweh" track earned attention in the Song of the Year and Praise and Worship Song of the Year fields. Nelson earned notice in the Male Artist of the Year and Contemporary Male Artist of the Year categories. Nelson and his frequent producing partner Dana Sorey also earned a nod in the Producer of the Year category.
One of the most popular songs from the project is entitled "Made New." The warm collaboration with satin-smooth vocalist Madison Ryann Ward has racked up over six million digital streams. The public enthusiasm for the track compelled the duo to record a new live audio and video version of it at as "Made New (Radio Edit)" at the City Winery Nashville recently.
