Hope Rising is Fee's second major label studio album, released on October 6, 2009 through INO Records. Their song "Glory to God Forever" is the lead single from this album, peaking at No. 22 on Billboard's Christian Songs chart.

Writing and production

According to British religious news provider Christian Today, the track Arms that Hold the Universe came about following a shooting at a Maryville church in March 2009 as a reminder that "when you factor in God to any circumstance, you will find hope". With regard to the project, lead singer Steve Fee said "We are thrilled that the success of the first record is giving us a platform with 'Hope Rising' to inject God into the equation of tragedy and uncertainty going on in the world".
