Praise & Worship

You have to check out this beautiful music video for the song ‘The Parting Glass’ from Celtic Woman.

“Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company, and all the harm that e'er I did
Alas, it was to none but me, and all I've done for want of wit to memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass, goodnight, and joy be to you all, so fill to me the parting glass
And gather as the evening falls and gently rise and softly call goodnight and joy be to you all.”

This stunning music video is from Celtic Woman’s “Postcards From Ireland” DVD. The singers and musicians are seen in the breathtaking scenery of Ireland while they are singing the lovely Irish folk song. It really is a sight to behold and heavenly to listen to!

The history of The Parting Glass is associated with gatherings in the Celtic lands. At the end of gatherings, friends will typically sing songs. And the gathering usually provides departing guests with a drink as they’re leaving. This custom was so popular back in the day that it formed the basis for the song ‘The Parting Glass.’

‘The Parting Glass’ is a great example of that special quality found in the best farewell songs. The song is able to combine joy and sorrow in a way that is both sad yet uplifting at the same time. It is a song of farewell, sung for and to close friends. And the Irish folk song comes with a parting toast: Good night, and joy be with you all. Now that is a way to say farewell!

Celtic Women do what they do best in this music video and that’s combine the beautiful music of Ireland with their mesmerizing voices to create some truly musical magic. We hope that you enjoyed listening to their rendition of ‘The Parting Glass’ today!

A group of musically gifted high school students performed a beautiful cover of a beloved hit from Christian musician Steven Curtis Chapman, “My Redeemer is Faithful and True.”

Life can often be filled with, at times, what feels like impossible and unwinnable situations. Every choice can feel like the wrong one sometimes. These situations can lead some to question whether God is still at work and in control. 

However, God’s Word states in several places that he will never leave or forsake us. He will remain at our side, and even when it may not feel like it, He is still at work and in control. Several high school students, with a terrific rendition of “My Redeemer is Faithful and True” sing about God’s continued and never-ending grace, love and protection. He is faithful, and whatever He promises, He will do.

The song’s opening verse is an excellent reminder that God has seen us through past situations and trials every single time. With such an outstanding track record, there really is no need to question or doubt God.

“As I look back on the road I’ve traveled
I see so many times He carried me through
And if there’s one thing that I’ve learned in my life
My Redeemer is faithful and true
My Redeemer is faithful and true”

The three young people who take turns singing different pieces of the song are thoroughly gifted, showing off their obvious talent. Additionally, the individuals providing the music show off their nimble fingers as they strum their various instruments.

What a tremendous and remarkable performance about the faithfulness and righteousness of the Lord. He alone is worthy of all glory, honor and praise!

Fountainview Academy, according to its YouTube channel, is a Christian high school in British Columbia, Canada. Each staff member of Fountainview Academy is “personally committed to the eternal success of every student.” 

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.”

Listen to this wonderful live worship performance from Paul Baloche of the song ‘Above All.’

“Above all powers, above all kings, above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man, You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones, above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth, there's no way to measure what You're worth”

What an amazing song that honors and praises God for all He has done for us. ‘Above All’ was co-written by Paul Baloche and Lenny LeBlanc in 1995. And Lenny shared why he believes the song has connected with so many Christians over the years.

“I think because it's such a beautiful picture of how a God that is above everything would become like a rose trampled on the ground, take the fall and think of us… above all," Lenny LeBlanc said.

A popular version of this song was covered by Michael W. Smith and recorded on his live album titled Worship. The singer-songwriter also performed it during U.S. President George W. Bush's 2001 inaugural prayer service. He recalled coming across the song and knowing that it was the right one to sing at the event.

“I knew the whole thing was going to be somewhat traditional. I was just trying to find something that leaned a little bit contemporary, but I couldn't find anything,” said Michael W. Smith. “So I started going through all these worship CDs I get in the mail. And then on the third CD I listened to, I ran across 'Above All.' I had never heard it. And I'll never forget going, 'That's what I'm singing in Washington.'"

And when Paul Baloche heard about this story, he was so surprised. "I'm humbled and blown away that a simple prayer of worship, started at my little piano, found its way to the President of the United States,” said Paul. “The possibility that this song could be an encouragement to him is such an honor."

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this worship performance from Paul Baloche of the song ‘Above All’ today!

A musically gifted family gives a beautiful performance of a hymn about relying and waiting upon the Lord during times of uncertainty and pain.

Life can often be a punishing and grueling journey. Struggles, pain and heartache will crop up through no fault of our own. Getting through another day might seem like a near impossibility. But there is One who will not leave our side. When it appears that all is lost and there is no hope, God remains in control and at work. He can make a way when the path forward feels and looks a bit murky. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, The Bach Family vocalizes, “Be Still My Soul,” a classic hymn about when confusion and suffering abound. Instead of relying on our strengths and abilities, which are severely limited, to carry us through a troubling situation, the song advocates for another path forward.

In the song’s opening verse, the lyrics advise the listener to put aside their worries and fears. Leave that troubling situation at the feet of the Lord. Allow him to handle and deal with it. He has been faithful in every previous instance. Why would that change now?

“Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God to order and provide
In every change, He faithful will remain”

Later in the song, the lyrics also remind us that in addition to His faithfulness, He is also a God who comforts. When we are undergoing pain and suffering, he “comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.”

Relying on God and trusting that He is still at work during times of extreme heartache, worry and anxiety, is something everyone needs to be reminded of from time to time. God is faithful and much greater than any problem or situation.

Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”

Raise your sweet voice in worship as you sing ‘Praise The Lord’ by Gateway Worship in this lively acoustic performance. Sometimes there is so much joy in our souls, we can’t help but raise our voices in exaltation and dance around the living room. The chores can wait because thanking God for all the good he has done raises our spirits high! 

The melody is upbeat and full of hope as the lead singer joins in ten seconds later. He begins by describing how he knows of a fountain that overflows with blessings before going on to describe the abundance of mercy we are given directly from Jesus’ throne. The lyrics and the beat are so uplifting that it’s impossible not to sing along. When the chorus line hits, more beautiful voices blend in harmony as they sing:

Praise the Lord, Jesus came for me
Set me on my feet and now I’m singing
Praise the Lord, by the power of his name
I’m free and unashamed so I’ll keep singing
Praise the Lord

This worship song is a beautiful reminder of God’s work in our lives. Gateway Worship has given us an incredible worship song we can sing to the Lord as we are reminded we are forgiven, loved, and lifted high with Christ. We are no longer ashamed of our mistakes. Instead, we can sing of the sweet mercies given to us through Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord indeed, we are set free and we will forever lift his name high! 

“For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven. How great is the grace of God, which he gave to us in such large measure! In all his wisdom and insight God did what he had purposed, and made known to us the secret plan he had already decided to complete by means of Christ,” Ephesians 1:7-9.

Listen to this beautiful live performance of 'So Will I (100 Billion X)' by Benjamin William Hastings.

“God of creation, there at the start, before the beginning of time, with no point of reference

You spoke to the dark and fleshed out the wonder of light, and as You speak, a hundred billion Galaxies are born, in the vapor of Your breath the planets form, if the stars were made to Worship so will I, I can see Your heart in everything You've made, every burning star”

The wonderful lyrics, Benjamin’s vocals, and the stunning sound of the string instruments make this live performance just absolutely beautiful to listen to. And when the other voices join in, the sound is simply heavenly.

Benjamin Hastings wrote 'So Will I (100 Billion X)’ alongside Joel Houston and Michael Fatkin, and he shared about the process of writing the worship song and how it came to be.

"That was the first song I ever wrote with Joel. And we went on this journey together, over the course of maybe a year and a half, just bouncing sporadically, bouncing back and forward ideas,” Benjamin shared. 

“And he was the one that originally sent me the concept of like, OK, well, what if we make every course different? We take people on this journey. And as a part of that and that initial, he kind of blasted me. The thousand lyrics. And at the end, there was that line he'd swap the 100 galaxies in the last course to 100 billion failures disappear," he recalled. 

'So Will I (100 Billion X)’ went on to win a Dove Award in 2018 when Hillsong earned 11 nominations.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this beautiful live performance of 'So Will I (100 Billion X)' by Benjamin William Hastings today.

Listen to this new song titled ‘Don’t Believe Them’ from Lauren Daigle.

“There are two sides to every story, the truth leaves where it don't belong
It’s a tricky line that we're walkin', when we got so many people talkin’
And nobody thinks that they're wrong, how you gonna love someone
If you don't forgive them? How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen?”

This powerful new song from Lauren Daigle discusses the issues in churches in today’s society, like false preaching and being a lukewarm Christian. And the lyrics convict the listener to practice their faith in everything they do. That point is brought home with lyrics like “How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneelin’? How you gonna live out the words you’re preachin’, if you don’t believe them.”

Lauren Daigle touches on the message of ‘Don’t Believe Them’ in a recent interview.

“‘Don’t Believe Them’ is one of the tracks that when Natalie [and I] sat down, and we penned that chorus, I remember thinking ‘Oh my gosh. This song is full of conviction.’ Often you write for what you think other people will enjoy, but sometimes you just need to write a song for you, and this was one of those moments,” the singer shared. 

“It was a song that was all about what I need to learn, and what I needed to gain. It’s a song that wrestles with hypocrisy, and I love the opening line ‘there are two sides to every story’ because I think it’s often that we find ourselves picking a side of things and running full steam ahead with that ideology.”

She continued: “When we choose to actually love people with the depths of all we are, then we can see a collage of ideas, and there’s a diversity to it that can be really profound if we open our hearts to it. It’s a song to eradicate animosity and bring unity to the forefront.”

What a powerful message! We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Don’t Believe Them’ from Lauren Daigle today.

Listen to this wonderful and upbeat worship song titled ‘Living For the First Time’ by Red Rocks Worship.

“You took my pieces one by one and turned my face upon the sun, and now my fears
Don’t get to win. With just one breath I say Amen, I’m alive and free, living for the first time 
No chains on me, I’m dancing in the daylight, I’ve got eyes to see, I’ve got ears to hear 
In the fullness of Your love, I’m alive and free, alive and free, living for the first time”

What an amazing song! ‘Living For the First Time’ is part of Red Rocks Worship’s new album Ascend. It was just released two years after the album Things Of Heaven came out. And this Denver-based worship collective shared what their hope is for the album.

"Our hope is that no matter where the listener finds themselves on that path, they would take the next step in trusting God and living out the freedom that life with Him provides," said Red Rocks Worship. 

"We pray that through refining and purification, they would find themselves with clean hands and pure hearts, offering the highest praise to Jesus - the hope of the world! We want listeners to realize that no matter where they are in life they can take a step closer to Jesus. We don't have to earn access, we have been freely given access."

Red Rocks Worship is the music ministry of Red Rocks Church, a multi-campus congregation based in Denver. It was founded in 2005 and is one of the fastest-growing congregations in the country, with people attending their campuses throughout Colorado, Texas and Belgium.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Living For the First Time’ by Red Rocks Worship today and the song was able to bring you some joy and encouragement.

Have you ever wondered how God can use you? Maybe you only see weakness, but God sees you inside and out. He knows your strengths and your weaknesses and he loves you so much. Take a moment to remember who God is in this stunning cover of ‘His Strength Is Perfect’ worship song by Grace Asidor. Her melodic voice will draw you into a position of praise as you open your heart to God. The song Grace sings has been a beloved praise song since 1988 by Steven Curtis Chapman. 

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect

I love how this song reminds us that we are not perfect. Yet, we somehow think if we try hard enough we can master perfection. But striving for perfection usually leads us to attempt to do everything alone. The result is stress, failure, isolation, and sadness. 

I’m so thankful I am perfectly imperfect because it allows God to perfect his glory through me. It reminds us we have a friend who will walk beside us in our struggles and in our victories. The most beautiful part about being imperfect is how God wants to use our weaknesses to bless us. He wants to do amazing things in our life, but we need to trust him. He wants to use each of us as a world changer–even if it is within your own home. 

Just when you reach the end of your rope, God picks you up. Just when we feel depleted, he breathes new life into us. The Good Book promises we can do all things through Christ. What a glorious reminder we have a wonderful savior!

“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” Matthew 19:26.

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

Shpendi Zenki, a 39-year-old visionary hailing from the Netherlands and a devoted father of seven, emerges as a unique and resonant voice in the realm of music. Driven by an unwavering desire to intertwine the teachings of the Bible with the rhythms of everyday life, Zenki delves into diverse musical styles, often venturing into uncharted territories, to create a captivating fusion of folk music and rock.

His melodies and lyrics serve as bridges, inviting all who listen to embark on a transformative journey with Messiah. Through his music, Zenki extends an invitation to partake in the creation of a symphony of harmonious living, where the echoes of his melodies and the rhythms of the land converge to shape a resonant and hopeful crescendo.

Check out this wonderful acoustic performance by Cody Carnes of the song ‘Plead The Blood.’

“Here and now I draw a boundary, against every weapon that’s formed, the thief and his plans
Will pass over when he sees the red on the door, I plead the blood, the enemy
Can’t take my family cause this home belongs to the Lord, so I’m not afraid to remind him
That he has no claim in this war, I plead the blood, I plead the blood of Jesus”

What a great song and acoustic performance from Cody Carnes! ‘Plead The Blood’ shares the hopeful message of freedom from condemnation, and also brings in the classic hymn ‘Nothing But The Blood’ that shares the same sentiment. Similar to the old hymn, ‘Plead The Blood’ recognizes that in Christ’s blood, “my freedom’s been purchased in full.”

The song ‘Plead The Blood’ was written by Chris Davenport, Cody Carnes, and Brandon Lake, along with Pat Barrett and Alexander Pappas. And Chris Davenport shared what the team imagined when they were creating the song.

"When we wrote 'Plead The Blood,' we imagined a song that could serve as a spiritual applicator for Christians everywhere, a song that confesses the blood of Jesus over every area and circumstance in our lives," Chris said. "So, wherever you hear it, my prayer is that it reminds you of the most powerful defense, the most assured claim that you can wield – the blood of Jesus."

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this beautiful acoustic performance by Cody Carnes of the song ‘Plead The Blood’ today. May it bring you hope and encouragement!

Matthew 26:28
This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Check out the music video for ‘Who Is Like The Lord' from Passion with Kristian Stanfill and Landon Wolfe.

“Who was there before there was creation, who illuminates the stars and sun
Who has set eternity in motion, there is just One, who can calm the storm with just a whisper
Who can make the darkest demons run, who can break the curse of generations
There is just One, the mighty Lion of Judah, the pure and spotless Lamb”

What an incredible song that will have you singing praises to our Heavenly Father. And the simple music video really highlights the song and the power behind the lyrics.

The message of ‘Who Is Like The Lord’ focuses on God’s attributes, and it was written by Kristian Stanfill, Sean Curran, and Jeff Pardo. Some of the scripture references in the song include Revelation 1:8, Revelation 5:5, and Psalm 89:6-8.

The song lyrics mention “the mighty Lion of Judah” and “the pure and spotless Lamb” who is “the Alpha and Omega, the good and great I Am.” When we listen to the lyrics, we are reminded of how great our God is and how He bows low to love us. 

He isn’t a far-off, distant God, but He is near and lavishes His love on us. When you think about the great disparity between us, you can not help but be overwhelmed and worship Him.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Who Is Like The Lord' today and the song was able to bring you joy.

Psalm 89:6-7
For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings? In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.

Check out this wonderful live performance by Canton Junction of their song ‘I’m Free.’

“So long I had searched for life’s meaning, enslaved by the world and my greed;
Then the door of the prison was opened by love, for the ransom was paid, I was freed.
I’m free from the fear of tomorrow; I’m free from the guilt of the past; for I’ve traded my shackles
For a glorious song; I’m free, praise the Lord, free at last! I’m free from the guilt that I carried”

What a great song with an incredible message. And the members of Canton Junction did an amazing job with this live performance in Indianapolis, IN.

The members of Canton Junction include Matt Hagee, Tim Duncan, Casey Rivers, and ACM Award-winning vocalist/musician Gordon Mote. Their individual resumes include Grammy Award nominations, multiple GMA Dove Awards, and Singing News Fan Awards. They are such a talented group that is united by their love for music, family, and the desire to proclaim in song what God has done in their lives.

In an interview, Canton Junction shares about how their song ‘I’m Free’ has a special meaning to them. “The message of the song ‘I'm Free’ has always spoken to me. Freedom is something that everyone craves, and when it comes to our spiritual freedom none of us deserve it. We should be bound in the chains of our sin and transgressions to a pure and Holy God. However, because of what God has done for us by giving us Jesus Christ as a sacrifice for our sin, you and I have been set free; and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. As the song so beautifully puts it, ‘I've traded my shackles for a glorious song, I'm free, praise the Lord free at last!’ I'm not sure I'll ever get over that.”

We hope you enjoyed listening to ‘I’m Free’ by Canton Junction today!

Check out this worship performance by Luke Finch from The Revelation Room of their song ‘I Was Made.’

“I am a temple, Your Tabernacle, a dwelling place, a space you call Your own
There’s no rhyming or reason, simply I am a vessel, this jar of clay you made
To be Your home, so come home, I was made, I was made
I was made to be Your home”

This is an amazing worship song with powerful lyrics and touching vocals. The words and music for ‘I Was Made’ was written by Luke Finch and Ali McFarlane. And The Revelation Room, which is a prophetic worship movement that seeks to raise and equip a generation of modern day Levites, recently collaborated with Global Prophetic Alliance while recording ‘I Was Made’ and a handful of other songs from their new album in Glasgow, Scotland.

It is powerful to watch everyone in the music video using their voices to sing out ‘I Was Made’ together while worshiping our Heavenly Father. From the musicians and the vocalists, to the other people in the room, they are all so focused on the Lord. The humble atmosphere of worship can definitely be felt when witnessing them all sing ‘I Was Made.’

“Anyone can feel the presence of Him throughout the entire song! Amazing!” one person comments on YouTube after watching the music video.

“What a beautiful song on identity! I can see people singing this and coming into their identity in Christ! Beautiful!” writes another person online.

We hope that you enjoyed watching this music video from The Revelation Room of their new song ‘I Was Made’ and it was able to bring you some joy and encouragement today.

2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

Ready for an anointing from the Lord, listen to ‘Graves Into Gardens performed by Brandon Lake live from Passion. Do you ever find restlessness in your soul? You search for something to fill. Time and time again, we’re left feeling emptier than before. Relationships, career promotions, and otherworldly things don’t touch the emptiness we feel until we turn to Jesus. He is the only one who can fill it. Brandon reminds us there is nothing better than Jesus, our Savior and Lord in this beautiful worship song. He turns our mourning into dancing, God won’t fail us. 

No matter our failures, God still calls us friends. No matter our mistakes, we are washed clean and forgiven. No matter our actions, we have been given mercy and grace.  One of the chorus lines truly hits home as we think of all the amazing things Jesus can do. He reminds us we serve a powerful God who cares about every aspect of our lives. And he is truly the only one who can. 

You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You're the only one who can

No matter what mountain you face, know that Jesus is with you every step of the way. We count our hardships as joy knowing God is using these moments to refine our faith and draw us closer to him. If you are in need of a moment alone with Christ, take a few minutes to let this song play in the background as you remember all the things he has worked for your good and his glory. 

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing,” James 1:2-4. 

Check out this live worship performance from Bethel Music of Hannah McClure and Amanda Cook singing the song ‘Precious Blood.’

“Guardian and keeper of my soul, laid to rest to make for us a home, blameless Son
And perfect cornerstone, all my sin Your sacred gift atoned, oh the precious blood of Christ
How it held me through the night, oh it brought me back to life, I am alive
By the precious blood of Christ, love has paid to make me whole again”

What an incredible and beautiful song with a message that will lift your soul. And seeing Amanda Cook and the rest of the band pour it out for Jesus while they are singing is so wonderful to see.

‘Precious Blood’ is a celebratory anthem of new life in Jesus and the acknowledgement of the sacrifice He made to provide an eternal home to us all. It was written by Hannah McClure, Paul McClure, Amanda Lindsey Cook, and John-Paul Gentile. And ‘Precious Blood’ is part of Bethel Music’s newest album titled Come Up Here. Each song of this album is an invitation to the listener to draw near to God in a profound and transformative way.

When you listen to ‘Precious Blood,’ the lyrics remind us how amazing it is that we are made new in every way because of the sacrifice of Jesus. And the same power that raised him from the grave is the same power that is in each of us through the Holy Spirit. There is nothing more incredible than that!

We hope that you enjoyed this music video of  ‘Precious Blood’ from Bethel Music today and it was able to bring you some encouragement.

Hebrews 9:14
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

This is one of the best new Christian songs out there. Take a listen and enjoy the creativity in this video. 'Jesus Does' We The Kingdom Official Music Video.

At the start of this video, we see a young girl in a beautiful white dress at a lake with a waterfall. She gets in a boat and appears to give up and falls out into the waters. As she swims tired back to shore, she has just a little strength to get out and begin to pull her boat back by the ropes. 

The chorus says: 

“So we sing praise to the Father who gave us the Son
Praise to the Spirit who's livin' in us
When I was a sinner, He saved me from who I was
'Cause that's what Jesus does.”

The girl then realizes that there are the hands of God pulling the weight of the rope with her. Suddenly, she exits the waters (Now as a woman) relieved. 

Next we see a boy roaming the woods, looking up for the sunlight and digging in the dirt. There is a man (The boy grown up) trapped buried under the ground that the boy is digging out. We see the hands of God encouraging the boy as he digs. The man escapes the grave and the woman escapes from drowning because of the work of Jesus. The band is then seen dancing and celebrating in the rain that Jesus has saved them from their sins. 

Suddenly, the band appears in their children form again. They are symbolizing how Jesus invites us as sinners (through his death and resurrection) to bring all who believe in Him into the family of God as His children. This is a very unique and fun depiction of that truth. 

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

An uplifting new song titled, ‘All in’ by worship artist Jesus Culture performed with Brett Lee Miller in a live performance. When Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 16:24, “Take up your cross and follow me,” he didn’t mean to take the cross as a burden or with self-pitying pride. The cross meant one thing and one thing only, death by crucifixion. To carry the cross meant facing the most horrific death imaginable. The call to take up your cross was a call to self-sacrifice and humility. He was calling us to be willing to die in order to follow Jesus. He was asking that we die to ourselves in complete surrender to him. 

It still sounds as if it is a deep, dark burden to bare. But the beauty of following Jesus is abundant joy and finding new life in him. After he commanded his disciples to take up their cross, he then said, “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it,” (Matthew 16:25). In other words, there is new life, new hope, and new possibilities in Christ. He is calling us to be all in for him and there is nothing better than this amazing, uplifting performance of the song, ‘All In.” Jesus Culture and Brett Lee Miller create a mesmerizing, hand-raising, foot-tapping worship song that reminds us of the glorious joy we have when we decide to go all in for God. 

The music track was recently released this summer in a new project titled, “Why Not Right Now?” What I love most about the release of ‘All In’ is the live video recorded in Costa Mesa, California. The video is already taking over the internet with over 31,000 views and I can’t help but hmm the chorus line, 

You’re calling, calling
Here I am
I’m all in, all in
Take everything
You’re worth it, worth it
Wherever You lead me I will follow

How about you? Are you ready to take up your cross and be all in for Jesus? May this song be the worship moment you need to tell Jesus you are all in. 

“Take up your cross and follow me,” Matthew 16:24.
