Creed Frontman, Scott Stapp, Leads Iowa Festival In Worship With Cover Of Brandon Lake's ‘Gratitude'

Creed took their audience to church during a recent performance, and the internet is absolutely loving it. The 90's alternative rock band has made a resurgence in the past couple of years, and I personally think the world is better because of it. Lead man of Creed, Scott Stapp, is back in the spotlight 30 years after he and his band entered into the music world with some of their hits like 'Higher' and 'My Own Prison.' Their resurgence has led to a reunion tour that's basically gone on since early 2024. That was when the group decided to get back together after a decade-plus apart, and evidently, there's been a lot of demand for their live shows. When concert clips pop up, it's easy to see why… Creed still puts on a heck of a show in 2026. And a recent tour stop in Dyersville, Iowa (at the Velocity Music Festival) has a lot of people talking. Footage of Scott Stapp taking time out of the band's setlist to fit in a little Brandon Lake cover has really captured the attention of TikTok. The Creed frontman worked in the worship song right after the band's song 'What's This Life For,' and it worked perfectly. All of the concert goers that were there to relive the 90s suddenly found themselves at church. Stapp lifted one of his hands up in praise, and many others in the crowd followed suit. It was a cappella, and Stapp held his own… unsurprisingly. After the lead singer wrapped up the verse from the song titled 'Gratitude,' he said this to the crowd that had briefly joined him in worship: 'We're grateful my friends. Sing hallelujah.' What an awesome moment, eh? There's long been a debate about whether Creed is a Christian band. Though they have always written songs with heavy spiritual themes, they always said they were not. But maybe that's changing in 2026? This reunion version of the band could be embracing their Christian side, and I'm all for it… especially if it leads them to release an official cover of Brandon Lake's 'Gratitude.' If you were to dive into the comments section of the post, you'd see a lot of replies like these below. Everyone loved seeing Creed and Scott Stapp leading the festival crowd in worship, even if it was only for a couple of seconds: 'Scott has always been open with his faith.' ''With Arms Wide Open' be sounding like a worship song to me sometimes.' 'I just know Brandon Lake is fan boying so hard.' 'I'm so glad this is becoming normalized.' 'Instant chills! I love this! GOD IS SO GOOD!' Here's the original:
