Praise & Worship

Are you in need of the Lord’s presence today? Look no further than ‘Everything That Has Breath (Praise), performed by Jesus Culture, Bran, and Katie Torwalt. 

Do you ever feel like you need a moment alone with the Lord? Is it when you feel overwhelmed? Or perhaps when it seems like everyone and everything is against you? Psalms 150 from the Bible is the last chapter. Here, we find David praising the Lord, and we can actually relate to some of the aspects of his life before he wrote Paslm 150. 

David went from being a lowly shepherd to God’s anointed king. He struggled with sin that devastated his family and his kingdom. He was adored by his people but his own son betrayed him (1 Samuel 16:11-13). 

David experienced so much joy and grief but he somehow praised God in the midst of it. We can look to him as an example. When we are distressed, praise the Lord. When we are overwhelmed, praise the Lord. When we are anxious, praise the Lord. 

What I love so much about the collaboration between Jesus Culture, Bran, and Katie Torwalt is how they usher us into a place of peace and reverence as we bring our hearts to God. Part of Bryan and Katie’s mission is to “the earth transformed into heaven's likeness,” with lyrics like “We lift our hands to the heavens. We are here for You. We reach for the hem of Your garment. We know what it can do. We know what it can do.” 

The chorus will raise your hands higher to the Lord, “Praise, praise. Let everything that has breath praise. Sing a new song to the Lord. Oh let our praises roar. Praise, praise. We praise the Lord.” 

I hope this song lifts your spirit and is a healing balm to your soul. May it be the warrior's call to praise the Lord in all things as you let your praises roar to our heavenly father. 

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord,” Psalms 150:6. 

Ready to have a moment with God and soak in his presence? Listen to ‘Call On The Name’ sung by Cody Carnes during an acoustic performance. 

There is something about the acoustic sound that stirs our souls deeply. Pair acoustic with a worship song and we have the perfect recipe to worship God as he soothes our anxious souls and aching hearts. 

Cordy Carnes’ performance is like a warm embrace of our heavenly father as we call on his name as he croons: “I call on the name of Jesus. I want to be saved. I never want to be the same. This life I’m living it’s all Yours. It’s all Yours.” 

Cody Carnes used to duet with his wife Kari Jobe before he decided to go solo. He channels aspects of U2 and Cold Play and has a Southern rock taste in his music. He was called to music from a young age. In his teens, he played in several bands before he became a part of Gateway Worship. There, he met his future wife Kari Jobe. They were often found together writing songs before they tied the knot. After they married, the pair moved to Nashville and had a son. Can you imagine their little boy’s lullaby songs with two talented parents? 

What I love about Cody is his ability to draw in the Holy Spirit as he worships our heavenly father. His words become a prayer as we praise the Lord for his goodness, his mercy, and his sovereignty. So often in life, we get caught up in our circumstances. We’re being pulled in 1,000 different directions and we struggle to focus on Jesus alone. But the Good Book promises us in Romans 10:13, “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Thank you Jesus for this undeniable truth! May this worship video be the tool you need to shut out the distractions as you sing along and worship Jesus. 

“Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved,” Romans 10:13.

Get a fun “pick-me-up” by listening and reading the words to this fun song of faith. Check out,  'No Chains On Me' Chris Tomlin Lyric Video.

Sometimes Christian songs focus more on slow and intimate moments with the Lord. That is wonderful; however, other times, we need to listen to music that is pure joy and excitement over the fact that Jesus has saved us. We have reason to celebrate each and every breath. 

This song from Chris Tomlin is so catchy and uplifting. It gets our hearts pumping with excitement over Jesus’ sacrifice that has led to our freedom. Between the electronic dance music sound and worship blend, you will want to dance in the kitchen in worship while you hear it.

The chorus sings:

“My heart is free, no chains on me. God, You raise me up, up from the grave

The cross before, I'm on my way. My heart is free, no chains on me”

Have you felt trapped or weighed down by the burdens of your own sin struggles in this life or perhaps the sin that has been done to you? This song will revive your heart today and refresh your spirit to know that you have been set free by the blood of Jesus. 

He has forgiven you of all past, present, and future sins. We do not have to live in shame and guilt but in freedom and victory. We can put on His armor and fight the good fight of faith, knowing that He has already won. 

Check out this lyric video and try not to sing and dance along, it is so wonderfully catchy and meaningful.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1

When praying I heard these words on my heart, and put them down in this original PrayerChant
that I composed. "Call out my name and I will answer you. I am near." Hope it will bring encouragement to you also. (Full prayer in album, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH by Marlane Tubridy.

Check out this video of “Praise” by Elevation Worship with Brandon Lake, Chris Brown, and Chandler Moore! You may be hard-pressed to find anything other than reasons to lift your arms and raise your voice in exultation! 

Front and center, Chandler Moore is dressed in a gold, black, and white jacket. He wears a white T-shirt and khaki pants. Chandler gets the crowd excited! He engages them with clapping, chanting, jumping, and dancing. And why not! This huge group of God-loving folks is together to celebrate Jesus! 

The first verse begins at 23 seconds, and it’s Brandon Lake who sings now. He sings the lyrics about praising in the valley and on the mountain when he’s certain and when he’s doubting. The words appear on the screen, so it’s nearly impossible not to sing along. A pastor’s kid from South Carolina, Brandon has two tattoo sleeves and a heart for Jesus. 

Chris Brown, wearing a baggy brown sweater and jeans, takes the second verse beginning at 1:15. He declares the power of praise in every situation, likening the activity of praise to a weapon. The lyrics reference the Battle of Jericho, in which the city’s walls tumbled to the ground after God directed the Israelites to march around Jericho’s walls while playing trumpets and shouting.     

After another verse sung by Brandon Lake, the remaining minutes of the performance bring together the three artists—all accompanied by numerous backup singers and instrumentalists also on stage. However, it’s not just those on stage that are singing and dancing. The entire crowd is participating in this jubilant and joyous expression of praise!

This performance and song are super impactful. Check out just a few of the nearly 1,300 comments from viewers of the video, which has now been viewed 1.7 million times! Connecting with believers and those that aren’t. Reaching troubled souls and providing refreshment. Demonstrating the joy of a relationship with Jesus. Well, those things are most assuredly worthy of praise!

“Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.” Psalms 150:1-2

A group of skilled folk and bluegrass musicians gave a stirring rendition of a song about the eternal home for the believers and followers of Christ.

No one can be sure what will happen from one minute to the next. No one will get a second more or less than their allotted time. Everyone has a limited, specified amount of time on Earth, which is only a temporary place. 

For those who believe in and follow the words and teaching of Jesus Christ, something much better than this Earth awaits. Those who have accepted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will live with Him in heaven once this life is complete. In a clip posted on YouTube, the Brandenberger Family sings and plays a beautiful hymn about crossing over and living in the glory land, “Over in the Glory Land.”

As the clip shows, six musicians playing various instruments, while standing on a platform in what appears to be a small church. A large cross is on the wall behind the musicians throughout the video.

The lyrics in the song’s opening verse make it abundantly clear where the songwriter and the musicians intend to be once their time on Earth has come to an end. The musicians have confidence that they will be with the Lord in heaven.

“I’ve a home prepared where the saints abide
Over in the glory land
I long to be by my Savior’s side
Over in the glory land”

Later in the song, the musicians mention other aspects of heaven, what they expect once they arrive at their eternal home. They sing that they will join the angels. Also, they are looking forward to their mansion in heaven. But most of all, they cannot wait to finally see the Lord and spend time with Him in heaven. What a wonderful and joyful thought, they sing. 

It’s unclear exactly how much time we have left on Earth. No one knows or can know. But because of Jesus Christ and His death on the cross, we have a chance at everlasting life with Him.

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

Hundreds of people combined their voices, creating a beautiful sound, and sang about the day they turned their lives over to Christ.

Sin, since it entered the world through that bite of the forbidden fruit, has wreaked havoc in society. It has brought about diseases, famines, droughts and wars and has ruined relationships and lives. Every horrible and terrible thing in our world can be traced back to sin, disobedience and rebellion against God. 

However, thankfully, God made a way, through the death of His son, Jesus Christ, on the cross, to bring us back into a right relationship with Him. Sin and disobedience created a boundary, and God overcame it. But that forgiveness, like any gift, must be accepted before it’s of any use. 

A video posted on YouTube features hundreds of people singing about turning their lives over to Christ. They sing about remembering the day they asked for forgiveness and asked Him into their heart. 

As the video’s title indicates, 900 people sing about the day they were saved and the joy and relief they felt at that moment. The musicians, as they sing “Oh Happy Day,” mention how Jesus cleansed their hearts of sin.

“When Jesus washed
He washed my sins away
Oh, it’s a happy day”

The people in the video are making a joyful noise to the Lord, praising Him for how He has come into their hearts and completely changed their lives. He has rid them of their sin. 

Christ’s blood, which was shed on the cross all those years ago, has changed and is still changing lives and transforming hearts today. Once He comes into the heart and washes away the sin, as the song says, it will be a happy day. 

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

Nothing in this life is worth the cost of losing Jesus. Let that thought sit with you for a moment as you saturate your heart in God’s goodness as you listen to ‘The Narrow Way’ by Steffany Gretzinger’s worship music video.

I don’t know what your circumstances are. Maybe your spouse has been drinking again. Perhaps you feel the sting of loneliness after shutting the door to toxic family members. Or perhaps, the depression is so dark that you can’t find your way out of it as tears stream down your face. 

Everyone’s struggles and pain are unique. A deeper struggle in the life of every Christ follower comes when we ask the next question: Where is God in my pain and suffering? I’m no expert in suffering, but the worst pain is when we are in the middle of a storm, and God feels so distant. Stephanie Gretzinger’s worship song will anchor your soul to his. Let her words move you into the heart of Jesus as you sing, “Lead me, Lord, lead me. Keep me, oh, keep me from wandering. Help me, Lord, help me. Teach me, oh, teach me your suffering.” 

Her worship song reminds us nothing in this life is worth the cost of losing Christ. He is our treasure and our prize in the midst of joy, suffering, pain, and heartache. Even if we could trade the pain for peace, it would be nothing without Jesus at the center. 

The beauty of our lives is when we stay on the narrow path and keep our eyes on Jesus. There we will find Christ. We will also find joy in the mist pain, strength when we are weak, and hope when all seems lost. Steffany’s worship song reminds us not to stop seeking God. He is there. 

May this beautiful and soul-stirring song be a balm for your wounds and a source of solace with Christ at the center. 

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit,” Psalms 34:18. 

Me and my sister want to sing a song about America and all the people who served for our country. I am so glad they did. So God bless America. Have a great 4th!!!!!

One of the biggest names in Christian music – Brandon Lake – performs a beautiful song about praising the name of Jesus everywhere, even during the hard times and the struggles.

Life isn’t always exactly a ton of fun. As everyone knows, hurt, heartache and loss are genuine parts of this experience called life. Sometimes it feels like that no matter what we do, we can’t win or even draw even. 

However, while it may be difficult to do so, the Bible instructs us to praise God in all situations, even during the bad, trying circumstances of life. In the official music video for his song “Praise You Anywhere,” Brandon Lake reminds us that He is to be praised everywhere and anywhere.

The track's opening verse encourages Christ's followers to give Him praise. The lyrics talk about specific places and times when thanking God may be the furthest thing from our minds. Nevertheless, God is to be praised. 

“Sometimes you’ve gotta dance through the darkness
Sing through the fire, praise when it don’t make sense
Sometimes you’ve gotta stare down the giant
Worship from the lion’s den”

When facing these situations, everyone would agree it'd be and is hard to praise God. But Brandon, near the end of the song, adds why he is so willing and able to praise God in the tough times. God has been faithful and kept every promise. There is no reason to doubt He will ever change.

What a wonderful reminder that while it may be difficult, Christians are to praise God and find joy in all situations, even when they are less than ideal. He is still working, and is still in charge, even when it may not appear that way or feel like it. 

James 1:2-4 “Let it be all joy to you, my brothers when you undergo tests of every sort. Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope; but let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.”

Check out this stunning video of The Isaacs singing the hymn ‘It Is Well’ in Israel.

“It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul”

What an incredible sound! All of their voices are amazing, and their harmonies are just heavenly. No wonder there were so many people gathered around them watching them sing; they truly are wonderful to listen to.

The Isaacs were singing ‘It Is Well’ in Israel in the ancient city of Magdala. Magdala developed as a fishing village and a center for fish trade as it was on the crossroads next to the Sea of Galilee. It was also the home of Mary Magdalene.

Many people online shared how much they loved The Isaacs and their music.

“One of my favorite groups. Beautiful harmony,” one person writes on YouTube after watching the video.

“I love The Isaacs!  And one of my favorite songs!” another person comments online.

When it comes to The Isaacs, they are a multi-award-winning family group that began singing 35 years ago and is based out of Hendersonville, TN. 

The vocalists are mother Lily Isaacs and siblings Ben Isaacs, Sonya Isaacs Yeary, and Rebecca Isaacs Bowman. The group plays their own acoustic instruments and are sometimes joined by other band members. The Isaacs have a unique musical style that blends tight family harmonies with contemporary acoustic instrumentation that appeals to a variety of audiences. Their group’s musical style has been influenced by many genres of music including bluegrass, rhythm and blues, folk, and country, contemporary, acoustic and southern gospel.

So far in their music career, The Isaacs have won over 7 Dove Awards in various categories and have had several Grammy nominations. How wonderful that they are able to use their talents to spread the message of hope!

A collection of talented musicians performs a track about how Christ can and will meet all the needs of those who earnestly seek and search for Him. 

The world is full of hurt, struggling and fallen people. Sin, since it entered the world with a bite of forbidden fruit, has gone on to wreak havoc on our society. War, sickness and death are just a few of the consequences of the disobedience in the garden all those years ago. 

However, thankfully, God has made a way. Due to the excruciating and wholly undeserved death of his son Jesus Christ on the cross, sinners can now enjoy everlasting life with Him. But, like any gift, Christ’s blood, spilled on the cross, must be accepted before it can be of any use. 

In a video posted on YouTube, Joshua Aaron and a group of talented musicians sing “Spirit and the Bride.” The tune is about Christ being the answer to all our needs and worries. He is the beginning and the end, all we could ever need. He provides those thirsty and who seek Him, those who call out His name, with water that will never leave them thirsty again. 

“And let the one who is thirsty come
Behold! The Alpha and Omega
Beginning and the end
In Him we will never, never thirst again”

In the video, the musicians play at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem in front of dozens of people who take in the dazzling performance. At various times throughout the clip, two women, in white dresses, elegantly dance about as the band performs. 

What a beautiful song about the power, majesty and love of Christ! 

Revelation 22:17 “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ He who hears, let him say, ‘Come!’ He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.”

Listen to this incredible live performance of the worship song ‘Miracle In Me’ by Red Rocks Worship.

“Jesus, my healing, I will reach for Your hem, my great physician, death is not how it ends 
The work was finished at calvary, Your body broken so mine is complete 
My testimony of faith will be, because of Christ there’s a miracle in me  
Because of Christ there’s a miracle in me”

What a powerful song performed by such talented artists. And it is amazing to see Red Rocks Worship lead that entire room in such a moving moment of worship.

“Now, come on, you guys. If He said it, He means it,” says the lead vocalist to everyone in the room halfway through the worship song. “If He said it 2,000 years ago, it is finished. And He meant it with all of His heart. Which means that you cannot remove yourself from His grace. And that means you cannot remove yourself from His love. It was purchased with His blood, and it was sealed with His resurrection. Come on, let’s sing this out. There’s power in the cross! Let’s go!”

Many people online were also moved by the song ‘Miracle In Me’ by Red Rocks Worship.

“Phenomenal! Red Rocks Worship, you never ever disappoint! Praise the Lord!” writes one person on YouTube after watching the music video.

“Thank you, Jesus. There is a miracle in me, and I am healed. Thank you for this song, it is a blessing,” comments another person online.

Red Rocks Worship is the worship ministry of Red Rocks Church, which was founded in 2005. It is one church in multiple locations, including four Denver-area campuses, one international campus, and two God Behind Bars campuses in Colorado prisons.

Red Rocks Worship is comprised of worship leaders and songwriters who have a passion to bring their love of Jesus to people through music. The heartbeat behind their music is to cultivate communities of believers that pursue God’s presence.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Miracle In Me’ by Red Rocks Worship today!

This is a cover of the song, Lord of Hosts (Psalm 46) from Shane & Shane.

Listen to this beautiful worship song titled ‘Live Up To Your Name’ by Danny Gokey and featuring Mariah Bernard and Legacy Worship.

“There are records of Your goodness, spread across the earth, endless stories of the wonders
Of the Wonder Worker, You are worthy of Your fame, testimonies from the broken
Show You still heal wounds, and we named You the Way Maker
Cause You made a way through, You are worthy of Your fame”

What a powerful worship song! And the message within the song reminds us that God’s different names can directly affect our faith simply by knowing them. He is known as Abba, Yahweh, Father, Jireh, Healer, Protector, Redeemer, Promise Keeper, Great I Am, as well as many other names. And these names are reminders of who He is and give us new ways to praise His name.

Danny Gokey shared some of his thoughts on the song ‘Live Up To Your Name’ and its place in modern worship music.

“‘Live Up to Your Name’ is a unique title for the song, because it's not a typical worship statement. A typical worship statement is we love You, we adore You, and there's no one like You. We are starting a case in this song, and there are multiple examples of how we say it in the song, that there are records of Your goodness,” he said. “With endless stories of the wonders of the Wonder Worker, God has fame that has lasted throughout the generations.”

Many people online have shared how this worship song has impacted them

“I love your music, it soothes my soul and gives me peace,” comments one person online after watching the music video.

“I'll be sharing this with those who need this reminder today!” writes another person on YouTube.

May this worship recording of ‘Live Up To Your Name’ encourage you today and help you reflect on all the ways that God has lived up to His name in your life.

Psalm 9:10
“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.”

Title says it all.

Check out this powerful worship song that invites us virtually to be a part of praising the Lord Jesus. 'Holy Forever' live performance from Chris Tomlin, Jenn And Brian Johnson.

This beautiful song begins as Christ Tomlin starts to sing about a thousand generations falling down in worship to sing to God. The chorus sings: 

“And the angels cry, Holy. All creation cries, Holy
You are lifted high, Holy. Holy forever”

Jenn Johnson sings the second chorus, and it adds a gorgeous female vocal line. The harmonies are wonderful to hear. As we witness this beautiful setting of worship to God, we ourselves cannot help but join in the praises of the Savior. 

We find ourselves also even lifting our hands in the beauty of this worship to the one who is God, Jesus. He is truly reigning on the throne. This melody and these lyrics are easy to sing along with, yet powerful to proclaim that the Lord is who He says He is and He is worthy of our praise. The angels themselves will cry holy forever.

Maybe you need this reminder today that the Lord is on the throne, and He is holy forever and always. We are His creations, and He is our God. 

He is far beyond what we could ask or think, and songs like this minister to our souls. He is so worthy, and total honor and glory belong to Him alone in every area of our lives. When we accept Jesus as Savior, we are His for all eternity.

“To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever." Revelations 5:13
