Hymns

For God So Love You.... Jn 3: 16 Love Recklessly Loves You And You Have To Reciprocate That Love To The Best Of Your Ability.

Let peace and joy wash over you as you listen to this live version of ‘I Surrender All’ by Jamie Kimmet worships the Lord through this classic hymn. ‘I Surrender All’ is one of those songs that stops the world as it spins and pulls us to the space of loving Christ for the great sacrifice he made on the cross for us. 

All to Jesus, I surrender
All to Thee I freely give
I will ever love and trust You
In Your presence daily live

This song has been played in countless versions and different ways like on the organ and piano. But the best version is nothing but a lone singer and his guitar singing in earnest to ‘ever love and trust the Lord.’ Jamie knows a thing or two about surrendering his life to Christ. From a young age, he loved music. He began to perform at the age of 16. This Scottish singer-songwriter found the courage to chase his dream and he journeyed to the sidewalks of Los Angeles. Before he knew it, he had so many incredible opportunities with big record labels. 

But Jamie felt a tug in his heart. Something was missing and he ultimately knew he wouldn’t find it with any record labels in the United States. Confused about his future, he went home and immersed himself in God’s word. He surrendered his dreams and career to pursue the Lord. Now he’s an up-and-coming rising star in contemporary Christian music. Thank God he chose to listen to that still small voice because his style of music is a bright spot in Christian music. 

Even though he is singing this precious hymn with just his guitar, the dedication and love he has for the Lord shines through. If you’re in need of a moment to surrender your heart or burdens to Jesus, sing along with Jamie. May it be a blessing to the Lord and to your soul. 

Psalm 55:22 “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”

The son of legendary country musician Willie Nelson turned in a delightful performance while singing a tune about asking the Lord for assistance getting through the day. 

Parents have a monumental impact on their children. While children are not always the quietest group in the world, they silently observe their parents. Children are constantly listening to their parents’ words and watching their mom and dad’s actions. The example set through those actions and words has consequences that will affect their children’s lives. 

One area in which children often follow in their parent’s footsteps is in their profession. Whether it be a doctor, lawyer, business owner or an actor, children are more prone to do what they’re familiar with and know. One clip posted on YouTube is a perfect example of a child following in their parent’s footsteps.

Lukas Nelson, whose father is Willie Nelson, plays the guitar and sings Don Williams’ classic, “Lord, I Hope This Day is Good” at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. 

“Lord, I hope this day is good
I’m feelin’ empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good”

Not only is Lukas a musician like his famous father, but he also has a similar look and sound as Willie. In fact, Lukas sounds eerily similar to his dad. If people were to close their eyes and listen to Lukas sing, they would almost believe it was Willie performing. He sounds that much like his father! 

At the conclusion of his performance, the audience responds with a thunderous round of applause and several cheers. 

A few others who commented on the YouTube video expressed their utter delight at Lukas’ performance. 

“This man deserves all of God’s blessings! What a beautiful soul. What an amazing talent,” one person wrote.

“That voice & that song made my day. Back-up singers sure sound like angels. Thank you for this gift,” a second individual added. 

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

A large group of guitar players show off their musical talents with an inspiring and spirited rendition of the beloved hymn, “I’ll Fly Away.”

Hymns are beloved pieces of music that are still played in churches for good reason. Contemporary Christian music is fine, but there is no comparison when going up against the likes of “Amazing Grace,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” and “How Great Thou Art.” Those old church songs are beautifully and masterfully written. Those songs say much with so little. Every word and every line impart so much truth and meaning. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of guitar players, the White Horse Guitar Club, play one of those favorite and beloved hymns, “I’ll Fly Away.” While sitting in a tent, practically on top of one another, the musicians expertly strum their guitars and sing in perfect harmony about the day they will cross over and receive their eternal gift. 

“Some glad morning when this life is over
I’ll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away”

At the conclusion of their performance, everyone in the tent claps and applauds, showing their appreciation for the gifted musicians’ efforts. 

Dying and passing away from this Earth is a frightening thought and one most people would rather not entertain daily. There are so many unknowns associated with death. Is it painful? What exactly happens after we take our last breath? Will I see my loved ones? 

However, for the believers and followers of Christ, there does not have to be a fear of death. Sure, there are still the unknowns surrounding dying, but when the eventual destination is Heaven, “God’s celestial shore” and the “land where joy shall never end,” why would there be any worry at all? 

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Listen to this incredible rendition of ‘I Need Thee Every Hour,’ a classic hymn performed in three languages. What could be more beautiful and sacred than spending time worshiping the Lord in praise? Worshiping the Lord in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. 

From the prayer garden in Christ Church in Jerusalem. A trio of harmonious voices lifts up the Lord in praise, all singing in their native languages. And all three reveal how we need God every moment of every hour, every day. The idea of listening to someone sing in English, Hebrew, and Arabic has been a dream of mine. I always wondered what praising the Lord sounded like in the languages spoken in the Bible like Hebrew and Arabic. Now I don’t have to imagine anymore. And neither do you. 

Performers Nizar Francis, Shiri Regev, and Tal-El Regev bring us God’s worship as they praise,

“I call upon you all the days, Lord. 
Hear my pleading voice merciful father 
To you I long, every moment I yearn.
Bless me my Savior. Kindly commend with me, O God.” 

The trio came together to perform in order to support One For Israel. This ministry… “is a cutting edge, dynamic evangelism initiative that seeks to compellingly share the Gospel of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) with Israeli Jews and Arabs in the Hebrew language, with an emphasis on media and internet within the ancient land of Israel.” 

The result of this ministry is people around the world praising God and praying for Israel. The video has gone viral with over 18,000 views and hundreds of comments from all over the world, like Ireland, Indonesia, and Chile. Can you believe how many hearts were ignited in blessing the Lord as they listened to this performance? 

One viewer commented, “That was so beautiful! Praise Jehovah God for the Blessings He gives us daily, whether we see them or not.” Another viewer couldn’t help but listen to this song on repeat. She wrote, “Listened 5 times to this beautiful worship song in a row praising our lord Jesus Christ, the high king, Lord of Lords. Our creator, amen.”

We hope this song blesses you and fills your soul with God’s peace as we are reminded we need Jesus and He alone provides all that we need. 

Philippians 4:19 “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Singing

A Song of Praise

By Rob McElroy

Check out this stunning performance from Nathan Pacheco of the classic hymn ‘Abide With Me.’

“Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, oh abide with me

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see, oh thou who changest not, abide with me”

What a wonderful music video! Nathan Pacheco, who is a classically trained tenor, sings the different parts in the hymn, and the blending of his harmonies sounds so lovely. And the scenery in the music video is also beautiful, with him singing the hymn while surrounded by so many candles.

The hymn ‘Abide With Me’ was written by Scottish Anglican cleric Henry Francis Lyte. The lyrics are a prayer for God to stay with the speaker throughout life and in death. It was written by Henry Lyte in 1847 as he was dying from tuberculosis. And it is most often sung to the tune ‘Eventide’ by English organist William Henry Monk.

When it comes to Nathan Pacheco, this talented singer, has a passion for reaching out and uplifting people through music. He has been featured globally in live performances, including touring the United States, Canada, and Mexico with Yanni; performing with Latin singing sensation Olga Tañon; touring England, Scotland, and Wales with Katherine Jenkins and the National Symphony Orchestra; performing for Prince Charles in conjunction with the British Forces Foundation and the USO; and performing with orchestras and symphonies around the US.  

We hope that you enjoyed listening to Nathan Pacheco’s rendition of the hymn ‘Abide With Me’ today, and the music was able to uplift your spirits and bring you some joy.

Listen to this beautiful rendition of the classic hymn ‘In The Garden’ by two talented sisters.

“I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses
And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known”

The singers in this music video are known as The Church Sisters, and they are no stranger to the music industry. They have been fortunate enough to travel the world performing at events like the CMA Awards Show with Eric Church and Hank Williams Jr., and multiple times at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. And many people online have shared their thoughts about the talented sisters and their performance of ‘In The Garden.’

“This is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard,” one person writes on YouTube after watching the music video. “I am sitting here crying while listening. What a talent God has given you!”

“It's wonderful to see the younger generation keeping these beautiful, old songs alive for all to enjoy. Thank you,” another person comments online.

The hymn ‘In The Garden’ is one that is enormously popular. It is almost impossible to find it omitted from any standar hymnal, and more than a million recordings and printed copies of it have been sold.

The man who wrote this beloved hymn was C. Austin Miles. He had attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of Pennsylvania to become a pharmacist, but he abandoned that career in 1892 when he wrote his first Gospel song.

He said of himself, "It is as a writer of gospel songs I am proud to be known, for in that way I may be of the most use to my master, whom I serve willingly although not as efficiently as is my desire."

We hope you enjoyed listening to this wonderful rendition of ‘In The Garden’ by these two talented sisters today!

A Trumpet and Drums Solo Medley with the songs Trust And Obey and Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus

Two musically gifted sisters performed “Where We’ll Never Grow Old” as they sang about their eternal home.

Aging is a process that has never and will never skip over anyone. Everyone is subject to growing older every year, day and even hour. No one enjoys getting older or enduring reminders that they are aging with things like birthdays and the discovery of gray hairs. 

But, as Savannah and Sarah Church sing in a video posted on YouTube, there is a place where aging does not happen. Growing older does not exist in this place. No one must dye their hair to conceal gray hairs or take other steps to hide aging because it simply does not happen there. Of course, heaven is this location “Where We’ll Never Grow Old,” as the song’s title states.

In the song’s opening verse, the two sisters, with their bluegrass, country-type sound, beautifully sing about and describe this place where growing older does not take place.

“I have heard of a land on the far away strand
‘Tis a beautiful home of the soul
Built by Jesus on High, where we never shall die
‘Tis a land where we never grow old”

In the second verse, the young women state that it will be a place where they will be more than happy to sing praises to the King for all of eternity. 

Following the young ladies’ stunning vocal performance about the area “where we’ll never grow old,” the crowd in the clip, who sit and take in the musical demonstration, erupt in thunderous applause. 

One man in the clip further praises Sarah and Savannah’s performance. He claims to have “never heard a better arrangement on that song.”

The video’s description explains that Savannah and Sarah’s performance in the clip happened in 2015. Also, “Where We’ll Never Grow Old” is a song both women know quite well. They grew up singing it in church.

John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?”

"Jesus Revolution" is a truly captivating and spiritually uplifting song that draws listeners into a journey of faith, hope, and transformation. Fusing together elements of contemporary Christian music, gospel, and hints of folk, it showcases both your lyrical talent and compelling musicianship.

The song kicks off with a melodious harmony that gently invites listeners into the narrative. The music lays the foundation for a powerful chorus that is sure to resonate deeply within anyone seeking spiritual guidance or renewal.

The lyrics of "Jesus Revolution" are profoundly meaningful, illuminating a heartfelt call for unity, compassion, and a return to foundational Christian values. They echo the yearning for a spiritual revolution – one that transcends the borders of race, class, and nationality, fostering a universal sense of togetherness and love.

As the song progresses, it beautifully intertwines a sense of longing with an ultimate message of hope. The orchestration builds, each verse stronger than the last, until it culminates in a climactic chorus that's as emotionally stirring as it is musically engaging.

There's a raw authenticity that will deeply touch listeners. "Jesus Revolution" is more than just a song - it's a rallying cry for a spiritual awakening, a plea for a world more centered on Jesus' love and understanding.

Whether you're a long-time devotee of faith-based music, or simply someone in search of soulful, inspiring tunes, "Jesus Revolution" is a song you don't want to miss. Its lyrical depth, catchy melodies, and overall emotive feel will stick with you long after the song ends, inspiring reflection and, hopefully, sparking a revolution within.

Start your day—or end it—with a listen to this stirring performance of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” by the bluegrass family band known as The Brandenberger Family. This video is a real treat!

While today’s world may be a sad and sinful place, we seem to be experiencing a time in which Christian music is thriving. And there are a myriad of types and styles available to meet the needs of hungry souls. While The Brandenberger Family shares old and beloved hymns on social media and in small venues, others bring contemporary Christian hits to the masses. What a blessing!

“Will the Circle Be Unbroken” was written in 1907 by Ada R. Habershon; the music was composed by Charles H. Gabriel. Performed by dozens of artists over the years, the lyrics tell the story of an adult child who has lost his mother. Amidst the grief and sadness, the mourner has hope, confident he will be reunited in Heaven with his mother and other loved ones.   

Here is the first verse of the classic hymn:

I was standing by my window,
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Nearly all of us who have typical life expectancies will walk in the shoes of the song’s story teller. Maybe that is why the song resonates with so many. Many may never have listened to the verses, but recognize and recall the words of the song’s chorus, having heard it since childhood. The song speaks to us, and this family of musically gifted artists do it perfectly!

There are eight musicians in the group; five are men, and three are women. There are no keys, but who needs them when you have this many strings. 

One gentleman, seated at the door and playing a snare drum, never opens his eyes during the performance. The singer/guitarist in green has a sincere, wistful look in his eyes. Check out the pretty girl on the bass at about 37 seconds; she gets tickled and it’s super cute.

Note the man in the violet shirt, who appears to be the senior member and group leader. He looks directly at the camera only once. When he sings the final verse, he lands the word “strong” at about 4:20 seconds, singing now about the teaching of a spirit-filled mother. He holds eye contact for a line or two because this is an important point.     

The song is precious. This family is genuine and most definitely talented. Grief is crushing and brutal. Heaven is waiting and worth it. And faithful and loving mothers are loved beyond measure!

“I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother.” Psalms 35:14

One woman used her beautiful voice to give a stunning performance of a beloved hymn about Christ's grace, mercy and love.

There is a reason why hymns are still sung and performed in churches all over the world. Yes, contemporary Christian music is catchy, upbeat and made for a more modern audience. However, there is still something different about the lyrics to “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” and “Victory in Jesus.”

Most hymns are elegantly and expertly written. Hymn lyrics are written in a short and concise manner but are still extremely powerful and moving, conveying a message either about Christ’s unending love, guidance, protection or faithfulness. So much is said in so little in those beloved church hymns. 

In a video posted on YouTube, JJ Heller performs, in the official lyric video, the classic hymn “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” Her outstanding voice is a perfect match for the song about Christ’s love, mercy and grace. 

“Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise”

What absolutely beautiful lyrics! 

“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is not the only old church hymn that JJ has performed. She has several other lyric videos posted on her YouTube channel. “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” and “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” are also posted on her page. 

She doesn’t just sing hymns either. Per her YouTube channel, JJ also has renditions of Bill Withers’ classic “Lean on Me,” Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” and “A Spoonful of Sugar” from the Mary Poppins film, among others. 

With her music and videos, JJ aims to help others “express emotion so you feel more understood, more hope & more peace,” according to the About section on her channel. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Él es nuestra paz, que de ambos pueblos hizo uno”. La verdadera paz es la unidad

A woman and dozens of children beautifully performed a medley of recognizable and beloved tunes.

There are several classic and iconic songs of worship and praise and many likely know those lyrics by heart. Anyone who has attended a church service knows “Amazing Grace” verbatim. It has been performed thousands of times by hundreds of artists. To this day, it remains a favorite of many. “Victory in Jesus,” “How Great Thou Art” and “Great is Thy Faithfulness” are just a few of the many other widely recognized church hymns.

Other favorite songs of worship and praise include “Jesus Loves Me,” “Jesus Loves Even Me” and “And Can it Be, That I Should Gain?” In a video posted on YouTube, Rosemary Siemens leads dozens of children in a unique mashup of these three songs about Christ’s unbelievable and unfailing love and grace.

The 5-and-a-half-minute clip begins with Rosemary sitting at and playing the piano while she sings the opening words to “Jesus Loves Me.” 

Seconds after the song begins, one young lady appears on screen and walks up to Rosemary, joining her at the piano. Then another child, a young man, walks into the frame and finds a place around the large instrument. A seemingly endless lineup of children finds their way into the room and soon Rosemary is surrounded by youngsters. 

Around the 50-second mark, the children join Rosemary by singing the memorable and lovely chorus to “Jesus Loves Me.” Then, after completing the chorus, Rosemary and the children head outside, where they are met by dozens of other children standing in a field,  also singing “Jesus Loves Me.”

Then, at about the halfway point of the clip, Rosemary and the children change things up. They go right into “Jesus Loves Even Me” without missing a beat. 

Rosemary and the children end the clip by singing a few lines from the iconic “And Can it Be, That I Should Gain?” hymn.

In addition to displaying her beautiful voice and talent on the piano, Rosemary also shows what she can do on the violin. Rosemary, much like the children she performed with, has a ton of musical ability and talent. 

Romans 5:8 “But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.”
