Listen to the song ‘Satisfied’ by Chris Tomin and be encouraged today.

“I count my blessings one by one, Your goodness in my life, how could I ask for more?
In You, I'm satisfied, all the mountains that I ascend, they leave me empty time and time again
I fix my eyes on this reward, the world behind me now and You before, I count my blessings
One by one, Your goodness in my life, how could I ask for more? In You, I'm satisfied”

What a great song! ‘Satisfied’ was written by Chris Tomlin, Jason Ingram, and Ross Copperman. And the song is part of Chris Tomlin’s album titled Holy Roar.

The message in the song ‘Satisfied’ talks about finding complete satisfaction and contentment in God alone. The simple yet powerful lyrics remind us that the world may offer us many things that seem satisfying, but only leave us longing for more. True satisfaction and fulfillment can only be found in God and nowhere else.

One of the verses referenced in the song is Psalm 107:9, which says, "For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things." Another verse referenced in the song is Matthew 5:6, which says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Both are great truths that remind us that God can satisfy our deepest desires and needs.

In an interview about the song, Chris Tomlin shared that he was inspired to write ‘Satisfied’ after reflecting on the story of Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4. In this story, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman and tells her that he can give her living water that will quench her thirst forever. And that was the message that Chris Tomlin wanted to remind people of in this song.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Satisfied’ by Chris Tomin today!

Check out this beautiful and classic performance by Celtic Woman of their song 'The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun.'

“High is the moon tonight, hiding it's guiding light, high, heaven and earth do sleep,
Still in the dark so deep, I will the darkness sweep, I will the moon to flight,
I will the heaven's bright, I will the earth to light, open your eyes with me, see paradise with me
Awake and arise with me, I am the dawn, I'm the new day begun, I bring you the morning”

This wonderful song was written by David Downes, who is the composer and musical director of Celtic Woman, as well as Brendan Graham. And this fantastic performance of 'The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun' was filmed at Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland.

The lyrics in the song 'The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun' speak of the beauty of nature and the power of love. The sunrise symbolizes the beginning of a new day, a new hope, and a new chance to start afresh. And the sky and the sun represent the elements that sustain life and give light to the earth. It is a beautiful song that reminds us of the power of nature and the importance of cherishing it and how love can light up even the darkest of days.

The singers in Celtic Woman always sound so angelic when performing together, and we hope that you enjoyed listening to their incredible voices sing 'The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun.'

Nehemiah 9:6
You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.

Be filled with hope as you listen to ‘Working On A Building’ sung by the Gaither Vocal Band during a live performance. These powerful words remind us that while we are here on earth, we still have an active hand in building our heavenly homes with our hearts, actions, deeds, and words. 

“Oh, I'm working on a building (Lord, I'm working on a building).
Yes, it's a true foundation. (Lord, it's a true foundation)
Child, I'm holding up the blood, blood, blood-stained banner for my Lord.”

It’s so easy to lose sight of eternity when we are caught up in our daily lives. The Good Book reminds us when we offer up to God selfless acts of love and faith. We are helping Christ as he prepares a place for us. Our heavenly home 

The Gaither band is a well-known all-male group with deep southern roots dedicated to spreading the Gospel through music that came onto the music scene in the 1990s. 

The Gaither Vocal Band is a popular all-male southern ensemble. This group has been sharing their gospel music for decades. The band's name comes from the founder and leader, Bill Gaither, a singer and songwriter. Over the years, members have changed, but the mission to spread God’s life-altering message hasn’t. 

Today we are listening to one of the band’s beloved soundtracks that usher us into a poster of reverence for the Lord. Just listen as these soulful voices sing in harmony to create the most joyful sounds of praise as they remind us of our future heavenly home. 

“I'll never get tired, tired, tired of working on a building (Lord, I'm working on a building).
I'm gonna run on to heaven, oh Lord, and get my reward.”

What a perfect reminder our home here on earth is only temporary. Some day, we will meet Jesus face to face as he walks each of us home. 

John 14:2-3 “In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”

Listen to this live studio performance of the song ‘Sunday’s Comin’’ by Zach Williams.

“When your week feels like a beat down, and you can’t tell the night from day
And you’re tired of fighting battles, when all you feel is pain, oh, it’s a heavy weight 
There’s hope on the horizon ‘cause the cross was not the end. Let joy come in the morning
Child lift your head, don’t you give up yet, keep on holdin’ on there’s gonna be a breakthrough”

What a great song written by Zach Williams, Ethan Hulse, and Nick Schwarzwhere. In the lyrics of the song, Zach Williams uses Christ’s death on the cross and his resurrection on Sunday to inspire and uplift listeners who may be enduring hardships. And in the song’s chorus, the lyrics remind us that Christ is always faithful and remains by our side.

In ‘Sunday’s Comin’,’ “Friday” refers to Good Friday, the day that seemed the darkest because Jesus, the promised Savior, had been killed. But God had a plan all along. Three days later, Resurrection Sunday happened, the day that Jesus rose from the dead, fulfilling the plan of God to make a way for everyone who would believe in Him to be saved from their sins and become a friend of God. And that same victorious Savior can help you in whatever trial you’re facing today.

“You’ve done it again Zach! Another beautiful song with such truthful meaning!” writes one person online after watching the music video.

“There is no better way to start your day than to be uplifted and encouraged by such a beautiful song. Thank you Zach, God bless,” comments another person.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Sunday’s Comin’’ by Zach Williams today. And remember, that even though we will face trials and sorrows, we can take heart because He has overcome the world.

Listen to this great duet of ‘Step By Step’ from Natalie Grant and Dolly Parton.

“Well, there's a bridge and there's a river that I still must cross, as I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost and there's a road I have to follow, a place I have to go
Well, no one told me just how to get there, but when I get there I'll know 'cause I'm taking it
Step by step, bit by bit, stone by stone yeah, brick by brick, step by step, day by day”

What a fun duet! The song ‘Step by Step’ was made popular by Whitney Houston when she recorded it for the soundtrack for the movie The Preacher’s Wife. This was the first time Natalie Grant and Dolly Parton have recorded a song together, and Natalie shared just how exciting this experience was for her.

“In 1996, ‘Step By Step’ is a song I would blast on cassette in my beat up Volkswagen Golf as I drove to my job at Medicare,” shares Grant. “The dream when I moved to Nashville was music, not Medicare, but I had to do what was necessary to keep going. 

This song was my reminder to keep putting one foot in front of the other. If you would’ve told me then that one day, I would not only be recording this song, but doing it with an international icon, I never ever would’ve believed it. I still can’t believe it.”

This rendition of ‘Step By Step’ from Natalie Grant and Dolly Parton will be on Natalie’s new album titled Seasons coming out in October. And the 10-track album will feature Natalie Grant’s own take on songs that have made a lasting impression on both her life and her career.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this fun song today!

Check out this beautiful worship song called ‘I’ve Witnessed It’ from Passion, Melodie Malone, and Jenn Johnson.

“When I was lost and all alone, Your presence was where I found home. You were there
And You’re here right now, in every high and every low. You never left me without hope
You were good, and You’re good right now. I’ve witnessed Your faithfulness
I’ve seen You breathe life within, so I’ll pour out my praise again. You’re worthy, God”

This wonderful worship performance was recorded live in Nashville, TN, and Melodie Malone, Jenn Johnson, and the rest of the Passion band did an incredible job sharing the beautiful message within this music. The main theme in the lyrics is being a witness to the hope we have in God’s goodness. The theme of the cross and resurrection are also touched on in the third verse.

Passion’s Melodie Malone shared some of her thoughts about the meaning of the song. “We don’t often use the word ‘witness’ in our everyday vernacular, and it is my hope that we reinstate a bit of the meaning it carries in this song,” she said. “We sing to remind our souls of the character of the one we worship and to help resuscitate a faith in desperate need of hope.”

The song ‘I’ve Witnessed It’ reminds us to remember who God is and what He has done in our lives, and then share about what we have seen! We hope that you enjoyed listening to this song today and it was able to bring you some encouragement.

Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.

Listen to ‘Life On It’ by TobyMac and Sarah Reeves in this official lyric video. TobyMac released a new album in 2022, two years after the tragic passing of his oldest son. In the midst of his grief, he honestly didn’t know if he would ever perform again. However, God met TobyMac in his grief, and through his journey of healing, he learned to put his life on God’s truths.

As the song begins, TobyMac sings of his unwavering commitment to God. No matter what comes his way, he will always remain in Christ: 

“You're my way and my truth, I'm a disciple of You
Through the highs and the lows, my heart will always stay true
They could put me in chains, they could lock me away
They would slay me in vain, I will always remain”

This groovy song deals with the depths of pain, needs, and struggles while reminding us God is with us as he walks through the valleys and mountaintops. TobyMac praises how Christ died for us and we can put our lives on his sacrifice and truth! He also shares tangible and relatable moments in his life where he was walking a path of grief. 

We all can relate to moments in our lives when something unexpected or tragic happens that leave us reeling and wondering why God would allow it. We will never know the answer on this side of heaven why God allows circumstances and situations. But we do know God will work things together for our good and his glory. 

We are all faced with a decision: live for Christ or die for nothing. But the truth at its core is that we would rather live for Christ than get distracted by meaningless things here on earth. The key is keeping our eyes on Christ and our hearts saturated in his promises. We hope is song rejuvenated the fire within you to keep living a life dedicated to Jesus! 

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain,” Philippians 1:21. 

Listen to this wonderful rendition of 'My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)' by Natalie Grant and CeCe Winans.

“How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me? Things so undeserved
Yet You gave to prove Your love for me, the voices of a million angels could not express
My gratitude, all that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee, to God be the glory
To God be the glory, to God be the glory, for the things He has done”

What an incredible version of this beautiful song from Natalie Grant and CeCe Winans! They sound wonderful together, and their voices complement each other in the most stunning way.

“This is such a beautiful rendition. So genuine, so moving.  Their voices meld beautifully together. To God be the glory! Hallelujah!” comments one person online after listening to the song on YouTube.

“So Beautiful! I have chills! Amazing remake!” writes another person online.

The song 'My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)' was written by gospel singer and songwriter Andraé Crouch. He first recorded it in 1972 on his album titled Keep on Singin'. It is considered one of Andraé Crouch's most well-known songs.

“Andraé Crouch albums were often spinning on our family record player when I was a child. He was truly a legendary artist, and I think this song is one of the greatest songs ever written,” shares Natalie Grant. 

“I have also been listening to CeCe Winans since I was 11 years old. No other artist has had a more profound impact on my own art. To sing this song and these words with one of my heroes is a life-changing moment for me. I’ve always felt like CeCe embodies the words of this song in not only her music and ministry but also in her life. It has been my prayer to do the same.”

Coming up this October, Natalie Grant will be releasing her latest album titled Seasons. The 10-track album features Natalie Grant’s own twist on songs that have made a lasting impression on both her life as well as her music career.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this version of 'My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)' by Natalie Grant and CeCe Winans today!

Check out this wonderful live performance of the song ‘These Are The Days’ by Cory Asbury.

“Hospital to home was a four-minute drive, with a baby on board, made it thirty-five, we didn’t
Sleep a wink that night, just laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes. These are the days
That we’ll want back, at the kindergarten drop off line, his first day of school didn’t even cry
That was when we knew that life had a funny way of passing us by”

What a moving and emotional song that sums up parenthood in the most poetic way. It is deeply relatable and speaks to how quickly time passes while raising children and the desire to relish every moment we get with them.

“The emotion that goes through this song is incredible,” writes one person online after watching the music video. “The truthfulness in the lyrics blows me away.”

The song ‘These Are The Days’ is one of the tracks on Cory Asbury’s upcoming album titled Pioneer. Cory talks about his new album and how his sound may have changed since the last time he released music years ago.

“I’ll always be the ‘Reckless Love’ guy, but my art has evolved,” he said. “I’ve changed. I’ve grown. And hopefully, after more than 3 years, I’ve got something new to say. After all, that is the office of the artist—to give language to the things we all feel and experience.”

Parents know that having a child is like having your heart walking around outside of your body. And this song truly encapsulates the joy of seeing them grow up and the pain of having it all pass by too quickly. We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘These Are The Days’ by Cory Asbury today!

Proverbs 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Check out this great video of Mac Powell giving a live performance of the song ‘God Of Wonders’ at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO.

“Lord of all creation, Lord of water, earth and sky, the heavens are your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high, God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty, You are holy, holy, Lord of heaven and earth”

This beautiful song talks about God’s wonder and majesty and Him being the Lord of all creation. The lyrics celebrate the light and remind us to call on His name in the darkness. It is powerful, and it is clear to see why this popular worship song has been sung in churches all over the world for years.

‘God Of Wonders’ was written by Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd, who are members of the Christian Rock group The Choir. The song was created for a worship project called City on a Hill, and it first appeared on the 2000 album City on a Hill: Songs of Worship and Praise performed by Mac Powell.

When talking about how the song came together, Steve Hindalong remembers it vividly. “I had a black Guild guitar that Marc used to borrow fairly often. He took it on a lone writing retreat to a cabin somewhere in Arkansas where he professes to have had a spiritual epiphany. There was something profoundly inspired about several songs he wrote on that sojourn. One of them was what would become 'God of Wonders.' He played me the chord progression, singing a few lyrics like, 'Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth…' Immediately I felt soul-stirred. I sensed that it called for loftier language than we are typically inclined to use. Marc and I both tend to write very personal, introspective lyrics. But I felt like this one needed to be more transcendent – grander than us.”

Steve continued: “We both feel thankful for its inspiration, and humbled to have offered it.

It's beyond our comprehension really – this notion that the Creator, not just of our world, not just of the Milky Way, but of ALL the galaxies in the universe – wants to share an intimate relationship with each of his children.”

What an amazing truth that we hope this song reminds you of!

Listen to this powerful live worship performance of the song ‘I Believe You Jesus’ by Jesus Culture, Chris McClarney, and Bryan & Katie Torwalt.

“I believe the words You’ve spoken, that eyes will see and graves will open
The curse of sin and death is broken. I believe You, Jesus, and though we live within the tension
Yet to see the full redemption, I know there’ll be a resurrection, I believe You, Jesus,
Bless the name, bless the name, oh the name of Jesus, shout His praise, shout His praise”

What an incredible song written by Brenton Brown, Chris McClarney, Bryan Torwalt, and Katie Torwalt. And their voices in the video sound absolutely wonderful.

The song ‘I Believe You Jesus’ is part of Jesus Culture’s new album titled Why Not Right Now? It is the group’s latest project since 2020.

“We’ve been anticipating finally sharing Why Not Right Now? with the world,” shares Jesus Culture member Derek Johnson. “We’ve captured a fresh sound that marks a new season for Jesus Culture Music, and we’re hopeful it will inspire worship in the hearts of believers everywhere.”

“Very few albums over the past 18 years of Jesus Culture worship have stirred my heart at the level that Why Not Right Now? has,” adds Jesus Culture founder Banning Liebscher. 

“Our heart has remained the same since the very beginning, and we want to see a generation encounter the presence of God and lift up the name of Jesus on the earth. We’re believing for revival in our day! Our heart is to see the Church ignited with a greater passion for Jesus and for a world that doesn’t know God to encounter Him.”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘I Believe You Jesus’ and this song of worship left you encouraged today!

Check out this great new song and fun music video for Lauren Daigle’s ‘These Are The Days.’

“People out there, people out there, let go of your cares, turn your cries into loud hallelujahs
This is what we came for. Oh yeah, leave all your worries behind. We know the future's
Burnin' bright, this is the great jubilation, this is what He came for, what He came for
Oh, these are the days, these are the days, these are the days we been dreamin' of”

What a vibrant and joyful song! And the lively music video will have you dancing on your feet and singing along! Through the lyrics and melody, Lauren Daigle is proclaiming hope in the form of the good news. She reminds us that we can leave our worries behind and rejoice, because this is the life that Jesus gives us. He came so that we may have life and live it abundantly.

Lauren Daigle acknowledges that everyone has struggles and walks through dark times, like in the lyrics: “We thought we’d never see the sun through the dark skies.” But then we are reminded in the song that our struggles and burdens do not define our stories: “if it’s not good, then it’s not over.” 

Because of Jesus, we all can know and be filled with wild hope. Because of Him, true and lasting joy is possible. And the mix of Lauren Daigle’s strong vocals and lyrics with the fun and upbeat instrumentals in this song clearly delivers this message.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘These Are The Days’ by Lauren Daigle and the song was able to bring a smile to your face!

John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 

Listen to this beautiful song that reminds us that Jesus is our anchor and all that we do, all that we are revolves around Him. ‘Christ Is The Center’ performed by Danny Gokey, and The Belonging Co, ushers us into a moment of reverence as we are reminded how Christ paid the ultimate price for our sins. In moments like this, we need to lay down our burdens, agendas, and offenses and open our hearts up to repentance. 

“In the morning, in the evening, You’re the one thing we are seeking
We come boldly. We are open to You now. You are healing all division
You are mending all that’s broken. Make us holy, make us holy like You are.”

The Belonging Co is a church worship group based in Nashville, Tennessee. They proudly state Jesus is above all. Written on their website, “We desire encounter over entertainment, intimacy over industry, presence over presentation, people over position, and Jesus over everything.” 

Some days, we struggle to put our feelings and circumstances aside and put Christ above it all. However, God loves us and reminds us of His love when we get distracted. Sometimes it’s not easy to keep Christ at the center when we are pulled in dozens of directions. In order for Jesus to be the center of your life, it means we give Him complete control. Why wouldn’t we want Him to be in the center? He created us. He has a purpose for us, and He is faithful. When we turn to Jesus and surrender, He does a much better of running our lives than we can.

In this genuine, awe-inspiring moment of worship, Danny Gokey and The Belonging Co sing our heart’s desire, we want Jesus and nothing else. We hope this worship video gave you a moment to praise God and thank Him for loving you!

Matthew 22:37-38 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.”

Gifted artist Danny Gokey releases a lyric video for his song ‘No Pressure.’ He knows a thing or two about the pressure of life and the pressure to be someone Jesus can be proud of. In the midst of striving, we sometimes lose sight that nothing we do or don’t do will earn us favor with the Lord. Sometimes striving in life through careers, achievements, and awards misplaces Christ from the throne of our hearts. But the Lord gently reminds us of his infinite grace and the depth of his love for us. 

In this moving video, he sings: 
That there's no pressure to be someone
Other than who You love
I can let my stress fall to the floor
There's no pressure to earn Your grace

He then brings us to the point of giving everything over to Jesus as he sings:
You gave it all away
I don't have to be perfect
You tell me I'm worth it
There's no pressure (no pressure)

This powerful song reminds us we need to stop striving, stop fighting with God and surrender. Surrender the worry, the pain, and the struggles. As we lay our worries down, he fills us up with his peace. Danny is no stranger to struggle and striving. He lost his first wife to a congenital heart disease before he found himself competing in American Idol. As the season finale came to a close, Danny went from being one of the top three contestants to losing and going home seemingly empty-handed. What he didn’t know was how God was working all things together for Danny’s future in order to glorify Christ through music. 

Since then, Danny has released several albums and is now a popular Christian music artist. His music inspires others to rise up from the ashes and focus their hearts and souls on their savior. May this worship song help you reflect on how much Christ loves you unconditionally as it melts away the pressure. 

“Be still and know that I am God,” Psalm 46:10.
