Pat Barrett Announces “Always On Time (Live)” Ahead of Break Open Album Release

Acclaimed worship leader and songwriter Pat Barrett is delivering one of his most vulnerable and faith-filled releases to date with "Always On Time (Live)," arriving at midnight. The stirring new single serves as a bold declaration of trust in God's presence - even when circumstances feel overwhelming.

In a candid reflection shared with fans, Barrett revealed the heart behind the song:

"I can't tell you how many times I've looked back on my life and wondered, 'What was I so worried about?' It doesn't mean the situation wasn't intense... It just means I was never alone. Not then, not now, not ever."

That message anchors "Always On Time (Live)" - a worship anthem that confronts fear head-on and replaces it with confident surrender. The song does not promise easy outcomes. Instead, it proclaims something deeper: God's presence is constant, His timing perfect, and His faithfulness unwavering.

Recorded live, the track captures a charged worship atmosphere where vulnerability meets corporate declaration. The room swells with voices singing truth over uncertainty - transforming personal testimony into a communal anthem.

At a time when many believers are navigating financial pressure, relational strain, and cultural instability, "Always On Time" speaks directly to the tension between worry and trust. It reframes hindsight as holy perspective: the realization that even when we felt most alone, we weren't.

The single paves the way for Barrett's highly anticipated upcoming album, Break Open, a project expected to continue his legacy of writing deeply theological yet accessible worship songs for the global Church.

Known for penning modern classics sung in congregations worldwide, Barrett has consistently bridged intimate songwriting with church-wide impact. Break Open promises to push that calling even further - inviting listeners into surrender that transforms.

Fans can pre-save the full album now to be among the first to hear it upon release.

With this release, Pat Barrett once again positions worship not as emotional escape, but as theological conviction set to melody.

"Always On Time (Live)" streams everywhere at midnight.
