Praise & Worship

"Hallelujah" is an exciting song of praise to God. The song encourages people to praise God with music and singing. The music video contains 3D animation of Samba dancing, as well as praising God. I hope you enjoy this fun song of praise!

Listen to one of today’s most beloved and treasured worship songs, ‘The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference by the Gaither vocal band during a live performance. You won’t be disappointed. 

“And the old rugged cross made the difference
In a life bound for heartache and defeat;
I will praise Him forever and ever
For the cross made the difference for me.”

The song is one of 300 songs written by George Bennard. Born into a modest family, he took on the responsibility of caring for his family as a coal miner when his father passed away. Later, he became a preacher and worked for the Salvation Army with his wife. 

His passion was to open the eyes of the world to the blessed gift of salvation from the Lord. He penned many songs expressing his gratitude and wonder. More than 100 years later, his legacy lives on within the notes and the lyrics of his worship songs. 

The vocal band Gaither performed a beautifully earnest rendition of ‘The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference.’ After its initial release, the performance has gone viral with over 17,000 views. People around the world are worshipping Jesus for His sacrifice on the cross while they listen to this poetic song. 

Adam Crabb sings solo as the music begins to play. He croons about the ‘aching desperation’ of needing Jesus until the moment Jesus’ sacrifice touches our lives. Then Wes Hampton, Bill Gaither, Todd Suttles, and Reggie Smith harmonize as they sing of the hope found at the foot of the cross. 

I can never tire of listening to worship music that points me back to Jesus. May this song infuse hope and appreciation for what Christ did for you and me. 

Galatians 6:14 “But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”

Check out the encouraging song 'Jesus, Thank You' by Katy Nichole featuring CAIN and David Leonard.

“Thank You for the goodness, thank You for Your kindness, thank you for all the things you do,
Jesus, thank You, Jesus, I can hardly count the times, Your grace has pulled me out
Sin and shame had left me bound, I once was lost, but now I'm found, I once was lost,
But now I'm found, thank You for the goodness, thank You for Your kindness”

What a wonderful song that shares a heartfelt expression of gratitude to Jesus for all of the blessings that he gives. And the song is a great reminder to us all to thank Jesus for all the ways that he has moved in our lives.

Katy Nichole released her song ‘Jesus, Thank You (feat. CAIN & David Leonard)’ right ahead of her 33-city fall tour with CAIN and David Leonard that starts off in Baton Rouge, LA. And she shared how grateful she was to be partnering with these other musical artists during this time.

“I have countless reasons to be thankful over these past few years,” said Katy Nichole. “One of the biggest of these is having the honor of meeting like-minded artists and then getting the opportunity to cultivate friendships, collaborate musically, and tour the country together. 

This new version of ‘Jesus, Thank You’ is very special and personal to me because I get to share this song with two of my favorite touring buddies, CAIN and David Leonard.”

David Leonard, who produced this version of ‘Jesus, Thank You,’ also chimed in. “It has been so much fun to be out on tour with these guys this year, and I’m super thankful we got to create a version of this song together!”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to 'Jesus, Thank You' by Katy Nichole featuring CAIN and David Leonard today!

"I Will Follow Christ" is a song about who you choose to follow (the world or Christ). As for me, I choose to follow Christ, to live for him. I choose to make him a priority in my life. As a follower of Christ, I am forgiven of sin.

This is a music video for "Creation Song", by Heath Bewley. This song tells of God's creation, from creating light, the sky ("firmament"), land and sea, plants and animals, sun, moon and stars, and finally man and woman. This exciting song not only tells the story of creation, it also uses some of the creation account from Job 38. I hope you enjoy this song of praise to God. The song is catchy Dance Music, and the music video features 3D animation, as well as plenty of great video footage.

An immensely talented musician sat in an empty stairwell and gave a dazzling performance of the beloved and classic hymn, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”

Everyday living can be, at times, an overwhelming experience that weighs people down with worries, burdens and stressors. Hurts, heartaches and struggles make their way to everyone at some point, unfortunately. Sadly, these situations can get people to the point where they feel like they are constantly fighting a losing battle, unable to proceed. Thankfully, there is One more than willing to provide assistance and shoulder those burdens.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a member of the popular contemporary Christian band, Elevation Worship, strums on the guitar and beautifully sings the lyrics to a widely recognized tune about giving those fears and worries over to Christ. “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” reminds followers of Jesus Christ that we are not alone in our everyday struggles and battles.

Christ is capable of shouldering and lifting those burdens. In fact, as the song mentions, Christians are to bring those stresses, hurts and heartaches and lay them at His feet. Holding onto those situations only causes us wholly undue and unnecessary pain. As a follower of Christ, we can let them go and give it all to Him. 

“What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer”

In addition to singing the powerful and moving lyrics from “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” the musician includes lyrics from Elevation’s original song," Mercy." Similarly, that tune is also about the magnificent and awe-inspiring things Christ has done in their lives. 

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.”

This is a Reggae Remix of the fun song, "Sing Hosanna Forevermore". The song is about praising God throughout the week. We can praise God, and have a relationship with him. Praise the Lord!

Check out this simple, but very joyful, unofficial video of “Count My Blessings,” a beautiful Christian worship song from Seph Schlueter. It is guaranteed to bring a smile!

Seph Schlueter, at only 21 years old, has gained wisdom that some fail to find even with years of living behind them. He’s recognized that we as individuals, citizens of the U.S.A., and children of our Heavenly Father are blessed! And, we are blessed in abundance!

Seph, along with Jordan Sapp and Jonathan Gamble, wrote the catchy song. 

Here are a four lines from “Counting My Blessings”:

Father on this side of heaven
I know that I’ll run out of time 
But I will keep counting my blessings 
Knowing I can’t count that high 

The word “infinity” is cleverly used to emphasize the wealth of blessings bestowed upon us, and the infinity symbol, drawn behind a series of hash marks on a white drape, is the extent of the video’s backdrop. That’s okay, though. Seph’s smile, humble presence, raised hands, happy eyes, and God-given voice provide all that is needed to perfectly convey his message.   

An Ohio native and Catholic, Seph began the worship collective Damascus Worship with the goal of bringing worship music into the Catholic Church. Seph is the director for Damascus Worship and was instrumental in the release of their first album, Awake My Soul. He’s opened for artists Natalie Grant and Phil Wickham, his own music uplifting others and finding favor. 

Commenters expressed gratitude for Seph, Jordan, and Johnathan’s song, and a few recalled health challenges that God carried them through. Poster @mikaylaweitzenecker2830 said, “I needed this song today! I've been struggling with getting people in my life to count their blessings and the Negativity can be overwhelming, great song to turn all the way up and dance around the kitchen.” 

Seph heard “Counting My Blessings” on radio for the first time on September 1 when 104.9 The River in Columbus played his song. His jubilance is just as fun to watch as his new song is to hear! 

“I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.” 1 Corinthians 9:23

Former American Idol contestant Genavieve Linkowski showed off her beautiful voice with a dazzling cover of a beloved track about the need to praise and worship the Lord.

The world is a sad, lonely and dangerous place. It’s filled with people who are hurting and struggling. Some may be at the end of their rope, desperately seeking an answer or comfort and healing. Luckily, there is One who has the power to mend the brokenhearted, heal the sick and provide a way when one doesn’t appear possible. He willingly went to the cross on our behalf, acting as a sacrifice as He endured an excruciatingly painful death. 

It is for that world and life-changing sacrifice that Christ deserves all honor, glory and praise. It is through His death and resurrection that anyone and everyone has a chance at everlasting life with Him. In a clip posted on YouTube, Genavieve covers Brandon Lake’s song “Gratitude.”

The young woman demonstrates that she has been blessed musically. Her voice is outstanding, never missing a note, giving an immensely enjoyable and pitch-perfect performance. 

As the song’s opening verse mentions, there is nothing and no way anyone could adequately thank the Lord for his mercy, grace and forgiveness. 

“All my words fall short
I got nothing new
How could I express
All my gratitude”

As the beautifully written song later states, there is nothing anyone can do but continually worship and praise Him for taking our place. Even that is not nearly enough, but that’s all that anyone has, and we have “nothing else fit for a King.”

Several others commented on the video and mentioned how they enjoyed Genavieve’s cover of the classic tune.

“I genuinely think you have one of the most beautiful voices on earth. God bless you,” one person wrote. 

“After watching this performance I think it’s safe to say, welcome back. This is a winning performance on any given talent show,” a second person added.

“You are just getting better and better, thank you Jesus for this incredible worship voice, Praise you father,” another individual commented.

Hebrews 13:15 “Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.”

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.

Check out this great video of a family trio singing the song ‘What Mercy Did For Me’ by People & Songs.

“I was hopeless, I knew I was lost, death and darkness were my only songs
I needed someone to come rescue me, then mercy heard my plea, Lord you found me
You healed me, You called me from the grave, You gave me your real love, I thank you Jesus
You washed my sins away, oh now I'm living like I'm forgiving, You came and set me free”

The singers in the video are known as The Detty Family, and they are all so talented! In the music video, they are matching in white dresses and take turns singing the different parts of the song. During the solos and during the joint parts where they sing harmonies, they sound just wonderful together! How amazing it is to see this family using their gifts to praise our Heavenly Father!

“Love you all. God has blessed each one with a beautiful voice. Keep singing for Christ,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the music video.

“Love your songs and music,” another person writes online. “May you continue to do what you do with this gift from God. God bless you.”

The song ‘What Mercy Did For Me’ by People & Songs was written by Crystal Yates, Joshua Sherman, Micah Tyler, and students at The Emerging Sound, a dynamic summer songwriting camp. It was recorded live less than 48 hours after it was written and expresses a heart of celebration and gratitude for the mercy that Jesus freely gave to each one of us.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘What Mercy Did For Me’ from The Detty Family today!

Isaiah 58:9
“Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.”

If you want to hear an amazing new song out in Christian music, this is for you. Check out “Jesus Does” by We the Kingdom Live Performance. 

As the song begins, we see a casual band full of devoted Christ-followers pouring their hearts out in worship. We witness the authentic praises of this family band. The lyrics start out the new song like a new day. The lyrics say:

“Who tells the sun to rise every morning, 
Colors the sky with the shades of His glory
Wakes us with mercy and love, Jesus does.”

This well-crafted song is an anthem of worshiping Jesus and blessing His name today. We are grateful for the day He has provided. The message then goes into those who Christ comforts and sees in the midst of injustice along with the phrase “Jesus Does.” The entire song is asking the question. 

“Who” and responding with the answer, Jesus does. The chorus invites us into the worship of the Triune God. The harmonies are beautiful and the vocalists have such a genuine attitude of humility, alongside the instrumentalists exhibiting their hearts of praise. 

Watching this live performance reminds us that we do not need anything fancy to come before the presence of God to worship Him. We just simply come as we are and be transformed by Him and His message of the gospel and the Bible. 

He sees everything and knows everything. He cares for our needs and loves us perfectly. He is the Creator, Redeemer, and Spirit in us. We are invited to worship Him with our whole hearts.

“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,” 1 Peter 1:3

This video will be sweet music to your ears. The Detty Sisters sing an uplifting modern worship song ‘Holy Water.’ It will refresh your soul and put a smile on your face. 

“Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
It's like holy water on my skin, ayy”

Enmeshed in the forest, the music video opens pans through several scenes of a beautiful forest and a river flowing through it all. Then as the lyrics begin, it features a young girl sitting on dirt steps as she sings how she needs God to quench her thirsty soul. 

The music video then pans out to reveal all four Detty Sisters and their mother wearing ripped jeans, sun hats, and simple t-shirts as they stand on the sandbanks of a river. As they reach the chorus line, they sing a harmonizing melody that sounds like heavenly angels. It is absolutely lovely.

Praising God is a passion and a calling for the Detty ladies. Amber, their mother is passionate about worshipping Christ. From the moment she knew she would be a mother–she’s always had worship music playing in the house and in the car. What a beautiful way to surround her little girls with the love of Jesus. Their passion and hope is to share the Gospel with anyone who will listen. 

‘Holy Water’ was originally released by We the Kingdom in 2019. It was written by  Ed Cash, Scott Cash, Franni Cash, Martin Cash, and Andrew Bergthold. Catching fire in the hearts of Christians, the song climbed the charts and peaked at number six on the Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 Chart.

It was later nominated by the GMA Dove Awards as Song of The Year. The heart of the song is about our need for God’s forgiveness and how we want to be changed by the spirit of God to glorify Him. It’s a journey we take daily. 

Psalm 32:1-2 “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.”

Check out Brandon Lake’s new official music video for his song ‘Coat Of Many Colors.’

“I am clothed in a coat of many colors, I am wrapped in the light, and I am held
In the arms of a loving father, was lying in a pit, but I’m walking the palace now 
‘Cause once I was a beggar, now I live in the King’s house, because red was the blood
That saved me, white was the light that pulled me from the dark, gold was the crown”

What a great song! In the music video, Brandon Lake is singing in his own colorful coat, and there are also sheets of red, white, and gold in the background – colors that he sings about in the song.

The song ‘Coat of Many Colors’ is part of Brandon Lake’s new album of the same name. It is scheduled to be released on October 20th. And then after the new album is released, Brandon Lake plans to go on his ‘Coat Of Many Colors Tour.’ It is set to kick off on October 26th and run through November 12th.

When it comes to this new song and album, Brandon Lake shares how it can relate to us all. "In many ways, we are all wrapped in a coat of many colors - we are clothed in the Father's love and in his pride for us, and everyone one of us are his favorite," Brandon Lake explains. 

"We see in the story of Joseph's life that he was misunderstood, he had dreams that got him in trouble, and he had to go through the process of trusting his dreams and being faithful to God. Joseph went from a pit to a palace, and this album explores that theme heavily."

We hope that you enjoyed watching the music video for ‘Coat Of Many Colors’ today!

Though we may sometimes feel alone, the truth is shared beautifully in this video of “God Is With Us,” the inspiring single from The Afters.

The Afters originated in a Starbucks coffee shop in Mesquite, Texas, where two of their founding members were working together. Josh Havens and Matt Fuqua, along with Dan Ostebo who joined the group around 2007, are still writing music and playing together after nearly 25 years! Originally known as Blisse, The Afters has been performing since 1999. They have history!

They also have life experience. The hurts and heartaches that the band have endured over the years inspire their music. Josh Havens shared an example back in May 2019, just prior to the release of their Album, Fear No More. 

Referencing the epidemic of anxiety in today’s world and his own experience with worry,  Josh stated to The Christian Post, “We wanted to write songs that are anthems to sing over your life when it gets hard. God is real and present and has this all-consuming love that we so desperately need.”

Featuring their new single, recorded in August 2023, The Afters’ video combines images and words to remind us that God is always there. In brokenness and death, sickness and addiction, and fear, He is there. 

We see two stories depicted in the video. The first is a man who has lost his wife, probably to divorce; however, that is not certain. The second is a young mother who appears to have lost her husband to death, but don’t look too closely at the years on the tombstone. That’s totally not the point!

Four lines from the song’s chorus are as follows:

He is right here where He’s always been
He never left, and He never will
Where is God
God is with us

Shots of magnificent skies and landscapes alternate with scenes from the lives of two desperate individuals dealing with losses. God’s handiwork alone is evidence of His omnipotence, but perhaps we see His presence more clearly when He works in our own lives—rescues us in our despair.

As the video progresses, the gentleman seems to move from depression to healing, and the grieving woman is able to laugh and live again. He is there, even in our darkest moments! And, when we trust Him in the pain, He sees us through it. 

Musicians and celebrities aren’t immune to the ugly stuff that life brings, and when they use their experiences to inspire and inform the words and melodies they bring to listeners… they’ve made something good from the bad. And, that’s totally the point!

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalms 23:4

This is a House Mix of the exciting song, "Make a Joyful Song Unto God", by Heath Bewley. The song is a remake of the song, "Make a Joyful Sound", with changed lyrics and music. I hope you enjoy this catchy song of praise to God!

Let God’s presence and strength wrap around you like a warm blanket and banish your fears as you listen to ‘Oh My Soul’ by Casting Crowns, Katy Nicole, and David Leonard in this lyric video. 

As children of God, we have been given the promise God is with us no matter where we go. The Good Book reminds us God will never leave us or forsake us. 

Sometimes, knowing this truth and believing it are two entirely different scenarios. We close our eyes at night, and suddenly, our fears are bigger than we imagined. We’re desperate to remove doubt and fear. We’re desperate to know we are not alone. In this beautifully captivating song, we are reminded our fear will face God. When both come face to face, God conquers fear. 

Oh, my soul You are not alone
There's a place where fear has to face the God you know
One more day, He will make a way
Let Him show you how you can lay this down ‘cause you're not alone

We are reminded to bring our fears to the Lord and lay them at His feet. This beautiful exchange frees us from the chains of fear as God provides light for the next step in our journey. It’s easy to confess God fights for us but often it is incredibly difficult for our hearts to believe this truth. As the song, ‘O’ My Soul,’ reminds us, we must turn repeatedly to the promise that God will fight for us. When we feel lost and alone, we need to remind ourselves God is by our side. No matter where you are today, may the truth of God’s ever-present help bring you peace, strength, and faith. 

Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.”

Let your heart rest in God’s embrace as you listen to ‘He Will Carry You’ by the Cordilla friends as they sing praises to the Lord with an incredible worship performance. 

Do you ever feel like doesn’t match the promises God made to you? You’re filled with doubt, insecurity, and shame? Maybe life has beaten you like a sapling in a hail storm, and the welts have left your soul bruised. Let this song call you home and help you heal.

Deep in the beautiful mountain range of Cordillera, Philippines, long-time friends Sheshy and Rhoda perform worship in its basic form. It’s just them, their voices, their hearts, and the holy spirit. Together, they remind us how we can lift our voices in praise to the Lord no matter where we are or what we are doing. This beautiful music video showcases the powerful words of the song, ‘He Will Carry You.’ 

There is no problem too big, but God can not solve it
There is no mountain too tall He can not move it
There is no storm too dark God can not calm it
There is no sorrow too deep He can not soothe it

The lyrics echo the words of David in the Psalms, God is on our side. What a comforting thought to know God is always with us. When our burdens or fears are too big to carry, God carries us. We don’t need to fear, there is nothing happening in our lives that he can’t handle. God’s power is limitless. 

If He can speak the stars and the oceans into existence, He can and will get you through the storm you’re battling. It brings so much comfort to be reminded in God’s hands. Yesterday’s impossibilies are today’s miracles. 

Isaiah 46:4  "I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."

In this lyric video, the ‘Voice Of Truth’ by Casting Crowns and Steven Curtis Chapman instills faith and trust in the ultimate Anchor in any storm. 

Trusting God when facing the giant of fear takes a tremendous amount of faith. In life, circumstances will test us and stretch our faith in ways we never thought possible. One song reminds us to drown out the voices of shame, guilt, and fear in favor of listening to God’s truth.

The lyrics paint a picture of what must’ve been like to be Peter staring out at the water and questioning His Savior when he was commanded to get out of the boat. Was Peter scared or filled with doubt? Or did he have complete faith in Jesus? The songwriter then poses a question for all of us, do we trust God enough to step out of our comfort zone? Are we brave enough to ignore the voices of doubt and embrace the voice of truth?

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me, I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth.

What I love most about this song is how the songwriter reminds us that belief isn’t something we have or don’t have. Belief is a choice. This choice is something we exercise when the waves seem to be crashing down. By choosing to believe, we remember God is in control. 

It gives us the freedom to surrender the outcome to God, knowing that no matter what happens, it’s all for God’s glory. The beautiful part of this song is how we are reminded that we are mere humans. We will make mistakes. We will fail. But we can try again. 

As the lyrics in this video remind us, no matter what giants we face, we will conquer them in the name of the Lord. It will be for his glory and strengthen our faith. 

James 1:2 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”

Check out Phil Wickham’s new song ‘The Jesus Way’ in this video that he filmed in a church.

“If you curse me then I will bless you, if you hurt me I will forgive, and if you hate me
Then I will love you, I choose the Jesus way, if you’re helpless I will defend you
And if you’re burdened I’ll share the weight, and if you’re hopeless then let me show you
There’s hope in the Jesus way, I follow Jesus, I follow Jesus, He wore my sin”

What a beautiful and powerful song! The music video was filmed in a simple setting in the back of a church with Phil Wickham on the guitar and vocals and another person on the keys.

The song ‘The Jesus Way’ is part of Phil Wickham’s highly anticipated new album that is set to be released this fall. It is the third advanced track to be released before the upcoming album, following the songs ‘Sunday Is Coming’ and ‘This Is Our God.’

This new song is so special to the two-time Grammy nominee artist, and he shares why in a recent interview.

“‘The Jesus Way’ is one of the closest songs to my heart that I’ve ever released. It’s impacted my own life personally in a profound way. For me, it’s a line-in-the-sand song about what I want to stand for and who I follow,” Phil Wickham says. “I’m so excited to sing this song with the church, and I’m inviting anyone and everyone who follows Jesus to join me in this anthem!”

What a wonderful message, and the song is a great reminder of what life is all about. Choosing the Jesus way leads to abundant life, and may pursue that daily!
