There are certain kinds of artists who don’t just release music; they revisit it like a chapter in an ongoing spiritual autobiography. Peg Luke is one of them.
With the 2026 re-release of “Almighty, Victorious,” the Emmy- and Grammy-nominated flutist, composer and vocalist isn’t rewriting the composition itself. Instead, she’s reframing it — visually, emotionally, and personally. The new lyric video arrives as a reclamation. And for Luke, the word that anchors the entire piece is simple: faith.
As Peg Luke says in her latest interview, Oxford might define faith as “complete trust or confidence in someone or something,” but she reshapes it into something closer to the heart — a confidence in the unseen, something that exists “in your soul.” For an artist who has endured illness, isolation and renewal, “Almighty, Victorious” isn’t just a hymn-inspired composition; it’s a lived declaration. If she could add a second word, she admits, it would be courage.
Interestingly, the track’s origins trace back to lockdown-era vulnerability. Though inspired years earlier by the classic hymn “Immortal Invisible,” the song only truly took flight in 2020, recorded remotely in Luke’s home studio in Greeley, Colorado. Produced by Lucas Sader (music director of Pentatonix) and later finished by multi-Grammy-winning producer John Greenham, the single emerged at a time when the world, and Luke herself, felt suspended. The original release was intimate, DIY. The 2026 visual update, crafted with a dedicated media team, feels intentional and expansive. The song, she insists, deserved that second life.
Sonically, “Almighty, Victorious” leans into Celtic textures — bold drums, soaring bagpipes and, notably, the fiddle work of her stepdaughter, Ginny Luke. That familial collaboration adds more than ornamentation; it layers generations into the spiritual core of the track. Peg Luke speaks openly about the blessing of working with her stepchildren (musicians in their own right), and her husband Jack, a conductor and arranger who has long been part of her creative world. In many ways, the project feels like faith embodied through family.
Lyrically, the song wrestles with the unknowable. Phrases like “Immortal, Invisible” and the “veiled Great I Am” suggest a divinity that can’t be neatly explained — only felt. And that tension, between permanence and the speed of the digital age, is something Luke acknowledges with clarity. She can’t control the algorithm or AI’s growing role in music, she says. What she can control is how she uses her gifts.
For Peg Luke, “Almighty, Victorious” isn’t frozen in time, it continues to evolve.
