Praise & Worship

Check out the new official music video for the song ‘I Believe’ by Phil Wickham.

“I believe there is one salvation, one doorway that leads to life, one redemption
One confession, I believe in the name of Jesus Christ, I believe in the crucifixion
By His blood I have been set free, I believe in the resurrection, hallelujah
His life is death’s defeat, all praise to God the Father, all praise to Christ the Son”

What an energetic song full of life and praise for our Heavenly Father! This new song was just released by Phil Wickham, and it is part of his new album that will come out in August of this year.

“It’s the title track of my next album, and a song I know I’ll be singing for years to come,” Phil Wickham shared online. “It’s a statement of faith and a praise party all at once. I can’t wait to share it and sing it with you all”

Phil Wickham also shared about the inspiration behind the song and rest of the album. "There are so many searching for truth, meaning, belonging, purpose, hope, fulfillment, peace and healing. I have found all of these things and more in the person of Jesus Christ,” he said. “I think the world is desperate to see and hear people full of hope, joy, love and confidence telling their stories about how Jesus saved and changed their lives, about how He is the best thing they have ever found, and He will be the best thing anyone will ever find.”

He continued: “My song ‘I Believe’ was written to shout about Jesus from the rooftops. Something that we as believers can unify together on and say with joy in our hearts that we believe in the mighty name of Jesus! I can’t wait to sing this one with you all. I’ve never put more time, effort and prayer into a project, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you all when it releases on August 18th!"

What an awesome worship song that spreads the joy and hope of the Good News! May you find encouragement in ‘I Believe’ by Phil Wickham today.

Lauren Daigle, one of the biggest names in Christian music, sang her latest hit on one of the most popular daytime talk shows, Live with Kelly and Mark.

In just a matter of years, Lauren Daigle has skyrocketed to the top of the charts, quickly becoming one of the most recognizable names, not just in Christian music but all of music. Lauren’s massive talent is apparent in such songs as “Hold on to Me,” “Trust in You,” "Love Like This” and her smash crossover hit, “You Say.”

Now, with an upcoming tour and a new album due out soon, Lauren is out making the rounds, appearing on programs and sharing her beautiful voice. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Lauren performed “Thank God I Do” on the show that has undergone several name changes, Live with Kelly and Mark.

Accompanied only by a man playing the piano, Lauren belts out the touching and moving lyrics to her latest hit single. In the song, Lauren sings about enduring many nights filled with tears, facing her fears and being left with many questions.

Despite her trying circumstances, Lauren is relieved that she knows God because without Him she confesses she wouldn’t have made it. 

In the hit song, Lauren, after having gone through so much, makes one request of God. She asks that He keep his hand of protection over her.

“I don’t know who I’d be if I didn’t know You
I’d probably fall off the edge
I don’t know where I’d go If You ever let go
So keep me held in Your hands”

To say her appearance on the popular program was well-received would be a massive understatement. At the conclusion of her stunning vocal performance, the studio audience erupts in a thunderous round of applause, cheers and shouts. 

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.”

Check out this amazing live performance of 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus' by the Voices of Gaither and featuring Ann Downing, Gene McDonald, and Jason Crabb

“What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer! Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged— take it to the Lord in prayer.”

It is wonderful to hear all the Voices of Gaither performing this lovely hymn at the Mabee Center in Tulsa, OK. And the background of this hymn is also powerful to know.

'What A Friend We Have In Jesus' was written by Joseph Scriven, a transplanted Irishman in Canada. He was born in Ireland in 1819, and he had wealth, education, a devoted family, and a pleasant life in his native country. After college, he established himself as a teacher, fell in love, and was to be married. But his fiancée ended up drowning, and the only place that Joseph found solace was in Jesus.

Joseph then left for Canada to start a new life, and fell in love with a woman named Eliza Rice in the town of Port Hope. But she became sick and also died before Joseph and her were married. Joseph’s faith was the only thing that brought him through this tragic time. After a lot of time spent in prayer, Joseph took a vow of poverty, sold all of his earthly possessions, and vowed to give his life to the physically handicapped and financially destitute. He became known as “The Good Samaritan of Port Hope.”

Later in his life when Joseph became ill, a friend was visiting him when he found a poem beside Joseph’s bed. He asked who had written it, and Joseph responded saying "The Lord and I did it between us.” And after his death, the poem was put to music by Charles Converse and is the hymn we know and love today.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to the Voices of Gaither’s rendition of 'What A Friend We Have In Jesus' today!

With the release of Jesus Revolution in February of this year and the “Asbury Awakening” that occurred within days of the movie’s release and has spawned revival meetings all across the country, it seems only appropriate that The Gaither Vocal Band released a live performance of their new song, “Revival Broke Out.”

Here we see octogenarian Bill Gaither and the other four members of the Gaither Vocal Band, along with four band members perform what feels a little like a gospel rap! It’s fun, catchy, and tells a couple of great stories!

From left to right, we see Todd Suttles, Reggie Smith, Mr. Gaither, Adam Crabb, and Wes Hampton. Bill sits in the middle of the standing singers and starts the song by introducing a “true story,” which he says he witnessed himself. The first verse tells how a feud going back to the 1960’s was mended at the altar due to the power of revival! 

The next example of revival restoration is about a woman filled with hate and shame. At 1.0 minute, Reggie Smith provides a vocal illustration of how burdened down she was for “a month of Sundays.” Sheila was her name, and she laid her troubles at the altar during revival. Sheila left those worries there!

With a peppy chorus, awesome baritone lines rendered by Mr. Suttles, and healing harmonizing by the gentlemen, “Revival Broke Out” inspires a desire to head to the tent to observe a few miracles for ourselves!

The guys wave their hands and pop up from behind the piano, singing about “tears and laughter” and “happy ever after.” With fingers pointed heavenward and toes tapping on the floor, they communicate joy! And the final two words of the song get to the real crux of the matter. When prayer and revival happen—everything changes!

Here’s to hoping for an epidemic of revivals, an avalanche of prayers for God-inspired changes, and a hundred more uplifting songs from the Gaither Vocal Band!  

“Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.” Acts 2:2

Watch this great video of the group called Redeemed Quartet performing the song ‘He’s In The Midst.’

“He's in the midst of our storm. He's in the valley we walk through.
Where two or three are gathered in His name, He'll be there too.
When you feel so all alone, He is standing next to you.
He's with us now, our Lord, He's in the midst.”

What a wonderful song with a beautiful message. “In spite of turmoil that comes our way each day via our news sources, there is One who walks with you in the very center of your storm!” writes the Redeemed Quartet in the caption of their music video. “He’s just a prayer away if you call in faith!”

Then the group shares Matthew 18:19-20: “Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

Many people online were touched by this performance of ‘He’s In The Midst’ and shared their thoughts.

“Amen...it's so wonderful to know that Jesus is always with us, thank you guys for that beautiful song. God bless you all,” comments one person after watching the video.

“Love this new song! The fingerprints of our great God are all over it,” writes another person online. “Thank you dear brothers, for using your awesome voices, to sing praises to our Lord.”

Based in the state of Indiana, the Redeemed Quartet is a professional Southern Gospel group made up of four best friends and brothers. They have had the privilege of sharing their country-styled Southern Gospel music with a local, national, and international audience, and their music offers hope and encouragement to all who hear it.

We hope you enjoyed their performance of ‘He’s In The Midst’ today!

In a harmony of voices, the Collingsworth family sing, ‘What A Friend We Have In Jesus.’ You don’t want to miss this precious performance. Gathered around the piano in their home, the family’s faces shine bright with their love of Christ. 

If you haven’t heard of the Collingsworth family, you are in for a real treat. Husband and wife, Phil and Kim began performing at a church camp in 1986. Over the years, their of love worship expanded into full time ministry as they expanded their family. In early 2,000 Kim and Phil decided to go on tour full time. 

Today, the Collingsworth family includes, Brooklyn Rose, Courtney Noel, Phillip Jr., and Olivia Diane. They praise God for expanding their ministry and believe God answered their prayers. On their website they wrote, “Each Tuesday evening, they hold a private prayer meeting in their home for the specific purpose of praying for the salvation of their children and the expansion of their ministry.” They added, “Phil & Kim’s entire purpose is to give the talent God has loaned them back to their Creator as a sacrifice of praise.”

The performance in this video reflects the long hours of dedicated practice and their love of Christ. Each family member sings in several different octaves and keys. Together they create a harmonious, heavenly sound as they sing:

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.

May God continue to use the Collingsworth family to pour praise and worship into the lives of others as they bear witness to the wonderful friend we have in Christ. We hope you enjoyed this uplifting performance. 

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you,” John 15:12-15.

The name of Jesus is the most potent name there is. Not in the name itself but because of who Jesus Christ is. When we call on the name of Jesus, we call on our redeemer, savior, and King of kings. If you need a reminder of Christ's power, listen to ‘The Name Of Jesus’ performed by Chris Tomlin in this lyric video and call on the name of Jesus. 

In the name of Jesus
There is life and healing
Chains are broken in Your name
Every knee will bow down and our hearts will cry out
Songs of freedom in Your name, oh, in Your name

Chris Tomlin released this song on June 14 and it is already impacting the lives of those who listen with over 14,000 views and hundreds of comments. One viewer posted he was grateful for Chris Tomlin’s timing in the release of the video. He said, “I'm transitioning from listening to secular to Christian music only, thank you God, and Chris Tomlin for releasing these songs at such a pivotal phase in my life!” We couldn’t agree more. Keeping our focus on Christ helps us strengthen our faith in Christ. 

Another viewer posted that she had been taught to always pray in the name of Jesus. She wrote, “Ever since I was a little girl, I was taught to pray in the name of Jesus! I have to say that he has been there throughout my life. Thank you so much for this beautiful song!” 

Thank God for the gift he gave to Christ Tomlin the realm of worship music. There’s nothing that heals our souls more than taking a moment to forget the world and focus on our savior who is our refuge in times of trouble. 

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” Philippians 2:9-11. 

One young woman gave a chilling and stunning rendition of the most popular and beloved hymn of all time, “Amazing Grace.”

Without God’s love, mercy and grace, the world would be lost, condemned to spend eternity in hell. But God had pity on a fallen, depraved and sin-filled people. He sent His only Son to die in our place, being the ultimate sacrifice for all of mankind. 

Because of the Lord's love and grace, people no longer must live in the mire and muck of their sin-filled pasts. God can and will forgive people of those sins and free them from shame. 

People can live a life centered on God, focused on His will and calling for them. And once their days are over and their time on earth is through, they can look toward everlasting life with Him in heaven. All of which is possible only because of God’s amazing grace. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Christian musician Holly Halliwell sings about God’s immense, unending love and His magnificent and wondrous gift of grace. Her cover of the timeless classic, “Amazing Grace,” is beautiful and moving. 

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see”

“Amazing Grace” is a track that has been sung thousands of times and continues to be performed by musicians. No matter how often one hears it, “Amazing Grace” is a song that never gets old. 

The tune has a powerful and moving message filled with truth. It’s one about God's glorious and loving work, reaching out to save the worst of the worst. Without grace, no one would have a chance. All would be lost.

Praise God for his amazing grace!

Ephesians 2:8-9 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God: not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.”

A group of gifted vocalists gave a moving, acoustic performance of a classic and beloved hymn, “Old Rugged Cross.”

John 3:16 mentions that God sent his one and only Son into the world so that whoever believes in Him may not perish but have everlasting life. Christ, who committed no sin and was perfect in every way, suffered a horrible and agonizing death on the cross. The cross symbolizes Christ’s love, death, sacrifice and the new life offered in Jesus Christ.

In a video posted on YouTube, the Gaither Vocal Band performed a song, the hymn “Old Rugged Cross.” The iconic hymn beautifully articulates the meaning, sacrifice and suffering that the cross has come to symbolize to Christians.

Accompanied only by an acoustic guitar, the five gentlemen turn in a stunning cover of the classic hymn. It’s an emotional and moving rendition that emphasizes the words and the powerful meaning of the lyrics. 

“So, I’ll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross)
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown”

It’s no wonder that the “Old Rugged Cross” continues to be such a cherished and beloved piece of music by Christians. Like nearly every other hymn, the lyrics say so much but in a simple, sweet and straightforward way. 

It’s hard to listen to the words of the “Old Rugged Cross” and not react as one thinks back on Christ’s brutal and undeserving death. 

Without Christ’s willing sacrifice all those years ago and the blood He shed upon that tree, no one would have an opportunity at everlasting life. All would have been lost. But in His death, He showed us love, mercy and grace. He paid our debt, which we can never ever repay. 

1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the world of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.”

In a time of great division and misunderstanding, the church needs a reminder that we are one in Christ Jesus. Check out this video, 'We Will Stand' by Natalie Grant with Tauren Wells, Jekalyn Carr & CAIN.

The church has been through so much. We have been in a place of great hurt and separation. Things like racial issues, politics, and Covid have increased our divisions and allowed a foothold for the enemy to work among us. Natalie Grant has taken on a throwback song, “We Will Stand” originally by Russ Taff in 1983. Grant (along with other modern artists) brings a fresh take on this song as a reminder that we are on the same team when we are in Jesus. We can stand together because Christ is our firm foundation. 

This song is not saying that we stand on worldly things or on anything other than the Word of God, however, it is challenging all believers to join together and remember the core issues of the faith. It is a reminder that the enemy loves to distract from the main mission that Jesus has called us to Him as one.

The chorus sings out:

“You're my brother, you're my sister
So take me by the hand
Together we will work until He comes
There's no foe that can defeat us
When we're walking side by side
As long as there is love
We will stand”

Those who believe in Jesus are family. We are adopted as His children and we are coheirs with Christ. We can waste a lot of time arguing over lesser things like carpet colors or musical genres, or we can focus on the great commission of making disciples of all nations and sharing the hope of Jesus. May this beautiful song with these powerful lyrics be an inspiration to us today.

“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28

A talented group of vocalists gave a beautiful acoustic performance of “O Praise the Name (Anastasis),” a song about Christ’s death, resurrection and victory over sin and death.

Christ’s excruciating and wholly undeserving death on the cross changed the entire trajectory of the world. Because of His death and resurrection, anyone has an opportunity at everlasting life. Without Him willingly going to the cross, shedding His blood for mankind, no one had a chance. All were destined for damnation, but Christ changed it all!

While backed up by a handful of talented singers, Benjamin William Hastings turned in a stunning and heartfelt cover of “O Praise the Name (Anastasis).” The moving song is one of praise and worship, thanking Jesus Christ for His sacrifice all those years ago. 

The song’s opening verses paint a vivid picture of the pain Christ experienced that day as he was nailed to the cross. It was there on Calvary where Christ died and took our place. 

“I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet
My Savior on that cursed tree”

But He did not stay in that tomb where His body was placed. He rose again, winning victory over sin and death forever. 

Praise God!

The remaining portion of the song is one of praise, and rightfully so, for what He did for you, me and everyone. 

The song’s beautiful chorus is short and sweet but very effective. The musicians state Christ is worthy of praise forever for His love and sacrifice that day. For the rest of their time on Earth, they will praise the holy, wonderful and life-changing name of Jesus Christ, the musicians sing. 

Christ alone is worthy of all glory and honor. 

John 11:25-26 “Jesus said to her, ‘I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead; and no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?’”

WORSHIP AND DANCE WHILE YOU WORSHIP THE GOD OF MIRACLES AND GOD OF VENGEANCE WHO WINS YOUR BATTLES FOR YOU.

A group of unbelievably gifted musicians turned in a stunning performance of “No Longer Slaves,” a song about the freedom available in Jesus Christ.

Fear often keeps people from achieving and reaching their potential. Whether it’s fear of failure or of judgment, people will cower and run from such situations. Fear enslaves, it only holds people back and it does not propel people forward to more extraordinary things.

The Bible is full of individuals who were fearful, believing they could not accomplish the task that God had set before them. They thought themselves to be inadequate. However, God remained by their side and was with them throughout the entire ordeal. God gave them freedom and victory over their fear.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Bethel Music, The McClures and Amanda Cook all sing about that freedom from fear in “No Longer Slaves.” 

As the song’s opening verse mentions, God, who is always faithful and loving, made a way when there did not appear to be one once again. He delivered them from the hands of their enemy. 

The song’s chorus emphasizes the idea that fear no longer has a hold on God’s children. He is all-powerful and mighty, able to do much more than the limited human mind could ever imagine.

“I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God”

According to the video's description, the musicians’ performance in the clip took place while on tour, during a stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The packed crowd can be heard singing along, with dozens of people holding their hands up, praising the Lord. 

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, my true right hand will be your support.”

A talented young woman with a beautiful voice has turned in a stunning acoustic rendition of one of the most beloved hymns.

Life is filled with punishing, arduous and unexplainable situations. Those trying and burdensome incidents can leave people hunting and searching for answers. They will want a reason for why this or that happened. 

However, sometimes there are simply some questions that will not be answered on this side of heaven. But regardless of events, no matter what may happen, God is faithful. He always protects, guides and loves. He will never leave our side during our time of need. 

In a clip posted to YouTube, Savannah Church performs “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” a beloved hymn about God’s steadfast and unwavering love, mercy and grace.

“Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided”

The acoustic nature of Savannah’s performance shifts the focus to her outstanding voice and the moving, heartfelt and truth-filled message of the tune’s lyrics. 

Life is a series of unexpected events with many ups and downs. Not everything will be sunshine, rainbows and ponies. But on the other hand, happy and joyous occasions will appear from time to time. 

However, through the good, the bad and the in-between, God will remain faithful. He will never change, always meeting the need. He is the shelter during the storm and a protector in times of great uncertainty. 

In the video’s description, Savannah mentions what she hopes listeners take away from her cover of the classic hymn.

“This song is a constant reminder to me that God is always faithful in every circumstance,” she wrote. “I hope this video is an encouragement to you no matter what battles you are facing. God is faithful and He loves you.”

Lamentations 3:22-23 “It is through the Lord’s love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit. They are new every morning; great is your good faith.”

A choir of immensely talented vocalists gives a dazzling rendition of a song praising the Lord for his mighty and unending love and power.

Artists, in order to produce their works, often have a variety of tools at their disposal. Filmmakers use cameras, microphones and actors. Sculptors use chisels and knives to achieve their desired outcome. Painters, of course, have paint, several brushes and a canvas. 

Musicians may have the most devices available to create their specified sound. Instruments come in many shapes, sizes and formats. There is even an entire classification of instruments. But the most stunning instrument is the one created by God Himself, the human voice.

In a clip posted on YouTube, The Academy Singers, in a beautiful and vacant church, turn in a stunning a cappella performance of “King of Kings.”

The short clip opens with the choir members standing on either side of the church’s center aisle, snapping and singing along together. The camera pushes forward, up toward the front of the church. A young lady, before the camera reaches the front of the church, steps out and plants herself in the center of the aisle. 

She beautifully sings the track’s opening verse about Christ’s coming to a lost and dying world to save a people who had no hope and no future. The first verse perfectly articulates the poor, wretched shape of the world and how Christ, in His mercy, came to be a willing sacrifice for all mankind.

The song’s chorus is, understandably, one of praise for all Christ did for man, giving and bringing hope to a lost and dying world. 

“Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings”

The rest of the video is essentially a demonstration of expert-level a cappella singing as the young performers praise Christ for His love, mercy and sacrifice.

Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father Forever, Prince of Peace.”

Hallelujah is the opening song on the Chapel Songs album. This project was five years in the making following the release of Worship In Spirit and Truth back in 2018.
(Release date: June 02, 2023)

"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.

A group of gifted musicians beautifully performed a song about the power and strength in the name of Jesus Christ.

The world is a place filled with fallen and hurting people. Since sin entered the world through the bite of an apple, it has wreaked havoc. Sin has brought about disease and famine and destroyed relationships and marriages. Eventually, sin results in death. People have made a fantastic mess of things through their arrogance and disobedience.

However, God has made a way to bring fallen people back into a right relationship with Him. As John 3:16 states, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

In a video posted on YouTube, Red Rocks Worship and Sarah Reeves sing about the powerful name of Jesus. While playing in front of an audience, the musicians sing about Christ and all the honor and glory owed to Him.

“All power, dominion
Honor and strength
All wisdom, glory, and thanks
All worship and wonder”

Later in the song, the musicians sing how once someone calls upon the name of Jesus, they will never ever be the same again.

Through the painful and wholly undeserved execution upon the cross, Jesus Christ was the ultimate sacrifice. He willingly gave up himself, shedding his blood on the cross so that we may have a chance at everlasting life with him. 

No other could have done what Christ did, and because of that love, there is power in the name of Jesus Christ. 

Christ’s love and sacrifice all those years ago have and continue to change lives today. What a beautiful song with a wonderful message about Jesus Christ and the unending amount of reverence due to Him. 

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.’”

A collection of musicians gave a stirring performance, singing a tune about the goodness of the Lord.

The world is not always the friendliest, most uplifting and most encouraging place. In fact, often, it’s the exact opposite. People and circumstances in life can leave us beaten, battered and bruised. However, no matter what may happen, there is One who can be counted on to provide shelter and protection during the storm. He can make a way when it seems none is possible. 

In Grand Rapids, Michigan, Bethel Music, David Funk and Amanda Cook perform “King of My Heart.” The song’s opening verse expresses the musicians’ request for God’s guidance and protection during troubling periods.

“Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song”

Later in the song, the musicians repeatedly mention God’s goodness. 

Also, they sing that God will never let them down. How do they know this? How can they be so sure that He will always be there, guiding and protecting? Throughout God’s Word, it points out that He will never leave or forsake us. He will remain by our side even during the storms and uncertainties.

He has always been faithful, never letting us down before, why would He start now? The short and easy answer, of course, is that He won’t. The God mentioned in the Bible is the same yesterday, today and will be the same tomorrow. 

However, despite the promises laid out in the Bible, humans are not perfect, and doubts and questions do arise. About halfway through the 9-minute clip, the lead singer addresses the crowd and mentions this, telling them to lay those doubts at the feet of the Lord. 

Matthew 21:21 “And Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Truly I say to you, if you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the seas, it will be done.’”

There are some songs that are timeless worship cries. Check out this stunning song, 'I Stand,' The Belonging Co. acoustic performance.

As we see a band in front of a white backdrop, they are praising the Lord together. This is a beautiful modernized hymn. The original hymn is “Solid Rock” by Edward Mote from 1834. After all of these years, this song has been made new and fresh to this generation with the same message of Christ being the foundation of the faith we hope in. Whatever is going on in our lives that challenges, refines, or sharpens our faith, may this song be a reminder to us that we can rest on the firm foundation of Jesus.

The Belonging Co. does a fabulous job of providing the hymn with a modern twist. After the song, they share about how this has been a journey. The thought of the original “Solid Rock” came to the worship leader's heart during a regular Sunday worship service because he was thinking about how there is so much shaking around us. He was reminded that Jesus is above all but also below all, holding us up. We do not have to worry when there is shakiness in this world, but we can have confidence in who He is and what He has done in his death and resurrection. 

The songwriters share that they do something very uniquely musical and have time changes within the song that turned out very naturally. It is encouraging to see songs today anchored in the message that Jesus is our Savior. This is an unchanging truth and the hope of the world throughout each generation. You can see the excitement and humility shine through their conversation. 

“Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, This became the chief corner stone.” Mark 12:10
