MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Sunday Edition, one of Nashville’s favorite groups, was recently greeted with the news that their latest single – “He Bore a Cross” – has become on of the most added songs at Southern Gospel radio.

In just two weeks of release to Southern Gospel radio, “He Bore a Cross” landed on the Singing News Top 10 New Releases chart – standing alongside new songs from the Kingdom Heirs, Dove Brothers, Karen Peck & New River, Greater Vision, and others.

“We were already very excited about this song,” mentioned Deon Unthank of Sunday Edition. “The song has received a standing ovation everywhere that we have sang it – so we know that people are really grasping the message of the song. To see it receive such a strong reception from radio so early in its life is very exciting!”

Sunday Edition released this special edition single in conjunction with BSA World Records. “He Bore a Cross” was produced by Glen Bates and written by Bates and Glen Ashworth specifically for the up-and-coming trio.
