Get ready to be blown away as three powerhouse artists, Brandon Lake, Benjamin William Hastings, and Leeland, join forces in an electrifying performance of ‘More.’

‘More’ is more than just a song; it's a spiritual journey that connects directly to the hearts of Christians. The lyrics are a soul-stirring invitation to dive deeper into the boundless ocean of God's love. With infectious enthusiasm, the trio belts out, "More proof than the doubt ever needed (I keep coming back for more)" – a passionate cry that captures the essence of every believer's longing for a richer, more intimate connection with Jesus.

More love than a man could imagine
More grace than a mind could have fathomed
More dreams than have already happened
You'll do it all again, yeah

The repetition of the chorus becomes a mantra, a declaration of faith, and an acknowledgment that there is always room for more of God's goodness, grace, and presence in our lives. The vibrancy of the performance is matched by the genuine sincerity of the lyrics. 

The artists aren't just singing; they are leading a call to thank God for His goodness and for being the only constant in our lives. 

The music video depicts the trio traveling on a bus with their crew. The energy from the music video is contagious as they blend their talents, creating a sonic experience that's nothing short of awe-inspiring. 

The video is not just a performance; it's a visual and auditory feast that transports listeners into a realm of worship. You can’t help but smile and worship right along with them. As the artists pour their hearts into the song, the impact on Christians is profound. ‘More’ becomes a rallying anthem for those seeking the Lord. 

In a world filled with noise, ‘More’ stands out as a beacon of inspiration, a reminder that, in the pursuit of God, there is always room for more. 

So, hit play on that link, turn up the volume, and let Brandon Lake, Benjamin William Hastings, and Leeland take you on a musical adventure that's sure to leave you invigorated, inspired, and craving more of your savior! 

Psalm 14:2 “The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.”

A group of four unbelievably gifted vocalists, Redeemed Quartet, performed a touching song, “Climb Higher,” about the Lord’s faithfulness, love and forgiveness.

The world is full of broken people hurting, struggling and simply trying to make it through by any means possible. They are looking for the smallest, the tiniest sign of hope. Sin has destroyed lives and relationships, causing what appears to be irreparable damage. 

But there is One who offers hope and a peace that surpasses all understanding. Jesus Christ offers those who are hurting and struggling comfort. He asks those carrying heavy burdens to cast all their worries upon Him. He is the forgiver of sins and the Savior of the world. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Redeemed Quartet gives a lovely performance, singing “Climb Higher.” It’s a tune about the healing and comforting power of Christ. 

The lyrics also mention that sacrifice and the price Christ paid for every one of us. He willingly went to the cross, enduring a horrible and agonizing death as he spilled His life-giving blood for all. 

“The path that leads to Calvary
Is marked with tears You shed for me
A rugged cross you bore with love
To bring me to my knees”

What beautiful and truth-filled lyrics about the unbelievable love and forgiveness that Christ freely offers to all. There is nothing that we could ever do to be worthy of such a gift. 

Praise God for His amazing love and forgiveness! 

Even those who aren’t the biggest fans of country music will still appreciate the message conveyed by the beautifully written lyrics. Because there is no other way or hope for man than Jesus Christ. All would be lost without and condemned to live out their days in their sin and shame if not for His sacrifice on Calvary.

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

Amazing Grace - diatonic harmonica (K. Kuraś)

One young man demonstrated his God-given, angelic voice with an awe-inspiring and stunning vocal performance of the most beloved hymn of all time, “Amazing Grace.”

Hymns are beautifully written pieces of music. Their lyrics often impart much wisdom and truth about the Lord’s love, faithfulness, forgiveness and grace. Songs like “How Great Thou Art,” “Victory in Jesus” and “Great is Thy Faithfulness” will never lose their meaning and significance no matter how many times we hear them. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young man, Malakai Bayoh, performs the timeless classic “Amazing Grace.” 

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found” 

Simply put, Malakai’s performance is marvelous! To hear a voice like that coming from someone so young is almost unbelievable. God has blessed him with a singing voice that needs and deserves to be heard. 

The entire clip is a feast for the ears. He expertly moves his voice up and down, hitting one impressively high note after another as the teen sings the beloved hymn. 

However, like all performers, Malaki saves his best for last. At the end of the tune, Malakai reaches back and lets loose. He reaches for, hits and holds a series of high notes for an extended period of time. 

His performance is enough to send chills up and down your back as you listen to the young man belt out the classic lyrics about God’s astounding and confounding grace. 

Malakai, a teenager, first captured attention with his wondrous operatic voice on Britain's Got Talent. In his first appearance on the popular program, the teenager earned a coveted Golden Buzzer and even brought one of the show’s judges to tears. 

This young man could sing the phonebook and create a pleasurable listening experience. His level of musical talent is absurd. 

Psalm 105:2 “Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.”

Most with some years behind them will have no problem relating to the message of “Scars in Heaven,” sung here by Casting Crowns and Amy Grant. The music is lovely, and the lyrics are inspiring. 

Casting Crowns member Mark Hall wrote “Scars in Heaven” with Matthew West, and the group recorded the song in 2021. Amy Grant joined Casting Crowns to record “Scars in Heaven” in September 2023. 

Amy offered her feelings about the song in an instagram post shared on her official website, saying that she “choked up on every line.” She went on to say that the studio engineer, the producer, she, and others were crying during the recording of the “beautiful” song. 

“Scars in Heaven” tells the story of a person mourning the loss of a loved one. While the grieving person wishes they had just one more day with their family member or friend, they are simultaneously comforted by the knowledge that all the scars, literal and figurative, that their lost loved bore are no more. The pain of loss is lessened by the promise of a Heavenly restoration at the end of one’s earthly journey.      

Here are the words of the chorus from “Scars in Heaven:”

The only scars in Heaven, they won't belong to me and you 
There'll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new 
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down 
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now

Amy Grant began her music career in 1976; Casting Crowns began performing together in 1999. Both have found tremendous success in the music industry. Both have experienced loss and pain. Mark Hall shared the inspiration for “Scars in Heaven” when he spoke with The Christian Post back in June 2021. 

Mark stated, “I began to write the song [while] watching my mom care for her mom and dad as they were passing away. They passed away within a year of each other. Seeing sickness change the people that raised her, seeing their minds change, and so many things were just taking a turn, and watching her bear the weight of that… My mom is a believer; she loves Jesus. She's the one I go to first when I need somebody to pray for me. But watching her deal with this as they passed away — that was tough.”

Ms. Grant’s voice is angelic. The violin that we hear at 45 seconds is superb. The way the tempo picks up at 1:45, as if to signify glimpses of hope, and the chorus of joyful voices that come together at 2:00—all these musical mechanics showcase the message of this perfect song.

How appropriate! Words and talents given to musicians so that they may communicate the most perfect truth there is. Jesus bears the scars that he suffered so that ours can be erased when we join Him in eternity! 

“Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”” John 20:27

If you need encouragement for your heart today, check out this reminder of Christ as the Living Water. “Holy Water” the Belonging Co. with Daniella Mason and David Dennis.

At the start of this song we see a church singing and the worship leaders proclaiming that anyone in need of strength and satisfaction can turn to Jesus. As various individuals sing and play their instruments, it is evident that the joy of the Lord is present in their worship. 

They have great excitement over what they are singing. Daniella is so excited in her worship leading. She is a motivator and enthusiast. 

We see a community of believers with various ethnicities, talents, and stories standing on one stage glorifying Christ. The Lord is worthy of all of our praise. He is so glorious. They sing to come on into the water because Jesus is our Living Water and He is who He says that He is. 

The lyrics repeat a lot in hopes that the listener hears the message of hope proclaimed that Jesus has come to set us free. There is free worship in this video and great joy. The harmonies are completely stunning and the choir of people and the audience joining in makes it all the better.

Maybe you are feeling “spiritually dry” right now? Remember that Jesus is the Living Water, but in the midst of that, He is inviting us to come to Him. We are all thirsty and in need of spiritual fulfillment and purpose. Jesus is the answer to that deepest longing. We have nothing to bring, but we have everything to receive in Jesus. Praise Him!

“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” Isaiah 55:1

Watch Natalie Grant Sing ‘In Christ Alone’ in her new official music video. In a world filled with noise and chaos, the act of praise and worship emerges as a profound salve for the soul. 

Natalie Grant, a powerhouse in the realm of Christian music, exemplifies the transformative power of praise through her new song, ‘In Christ Alone.’ As we immerse ourselves in this sacred melody, Natalie leads us on a spiritual journey that nourishes our souls and fosters a deeper connection with our heavenly Father. 

The song, with its rich theological depth and Natalie’s beautiful voice, becomes a vessel through which listeners can elevate their spirits and engage in worship that transcends the ordinary. Wearing a lovely flowery dress, Natalie walks around a greenhouse filled with different plants and places to sit to take in the wonder of creation. 

The music video, with its evocative visuals, complements the lyrics, creating a multisensory experience that resonates with the depths of our souls that only in Christ alone do we have our hope and salvation. 

At the heart of the song is a celebration of Christ's redemptive love and the unshakeable foundation it provides. As Natalie’s heavenly voice soars through the verses, each note becomes a proclamation of faith, an affirmation of the profound truth that in Christ alone, our hope is found. It tells us that the real victories are fought and won through Jesus. 

Natalie invites us to let the song become a prayer, a declaration of our faith in God who keeps His promises. This beautiful song stands as a poignant reminder of the indispensable role that praise and worship play in nurturing our souls. 

Through this musical odyssey, listeners are invited to lift their eyes beyond the mundane, finding solace, renewal, and a connection that echoes through the corridors of their lives, uplifting and transforming them from the inside out. 

We hope your heart soars as you listen to Natalie sing ‘In Christ Alone.’ 

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths,” Proverbs 3:5-6. 

Feel God’s embrace as you listen to ‘Just Be Held’ by Casting Crowns and Anne Wilson in this official audio version of the song. ‘Just Be Held’ captures our human nature. When we feel like we are drowning in life’s storms, we try to do everything in our power to control the situation. 

The reality is we have no control. We don’t have control over cancer, relationships, job layoffs, or the weather. But what we can control is where we place our faith and hope. Instead of assuming we can fix the crisis, we can turn to Jesus and let Him hold us through it all. 

“So when you're on your knees, and answers seem so far away
You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place
I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held, Just be held, just be held”

‘Just Be Held’ has been a beloved song of believers since 2014 from the album ‘Thrive’ when writers Bernie Herms, Matthew West, and Mark Hall wanted to remind listeners to turn their attention to Christ when the world is seemingly falling apart. Especially when we live in a society where we’re taught to wear the mask of being fine. Isn’t it a blessing to know we don’t have to hold it all together because God does? 

We hope this special edition of ‘Just Be Held’ by Casting Crowns and Anne Wilson gives you permission to fall to your knees and surrender to Christ. Let Him carry you through the trial you face, and may He be your peace and hope in the storm. 

James 1:2-4 “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,  for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

Don’t miss your chance to watch ‘Miracle Child’ in Brandon Lake’s official music video. In a world filled with darkness, pain, and turmoil, Brandon reminds us of our mighty Savoir. In the symphony of life, there are melodies that resonate deep within our souls, touching the very essence of our being. 

‘Miracle Child’ is one such composition, a powerful and encouraging song that encapsulates the awe-inspiring wonders of God and celebrates the miraculous story of Jesus conquering the grave because of His unwavering love for us. 

The lyrics of ‘Miracle Child’ paint a vivid picture of the extraordinary, highlighting the undeniable presence of the Holy Spirit that guides us through the stormy seas of existence. Brandon Lake, with his soul-stirring voice, invites us to witness the miracles that unfold in the tapestry of life, reminding us that each one of us is a miracle child in the eyes of God.

“Death, where is your sting 
My savior’s word is final 
I am resurrected, blood-protected 
I am a miracle child”

What makes ‘Miracle Child’ particularly poignant is its ability to resonate with people from all walks of life. Whether you're facing challenges that seem insurmountable or reveling in the joys of the present moment, this song serves as a reminder that God's grace is ever-present, ready to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The beauty of the song lies not only in its Biblical, lyrical prowess but also in the seamless fusion of music and hope-infused message. The melody, with its uplifting crescendos and gentle interludes, mirrors the ebb and flow of life's journey. It is an anthem of resilience, echoing the sentiment that even in the darkest of times, the light of God's love shines through.

As the final notes of ‘Miracle Child’ linger in the air, listeners are left with a profound sense of awe and inspiration. The song is a reminder that, indeed, we are all miracle children intricately woven into the grand design of God’s plans. Through the powerful words of Brandon Lake, we are invited to marvel at the wonders of life and acknowledge the amazing God whose grace continues to shape our extraordinary journey.

2 Corinthians 6:18 “‘And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me,’” says the Lord Almighty.’”

Redeemed Quartet’s performance of “Still Drinking Water From the Well” will certainly leave your soul satisfied! Check out the new video by Redeemed Quartet.

The bass part, performed by member Josh Koble, is featured in the group’s rendition of “Still Drinking Water From the Well,” written by Larry Petree and originally sung by The Cathedrals. Josh Koble gives serious Josh Turner vibes with his deep, resonating voice, and fellow members Caleb Koble, Nate Duncan, and Ben Duncan deliver their parts beautifully.

Recorded in the California desert, the landscape is perfectly suited for the song’s lyrics. Amid the dust and the brush, there is a lovely, crystalline stream that promises refreshment.

Here are the lines of the chorus of “Still Drinking Water From the Well”:

Oh, yes, I’m still drinking water from the well-overflowing
From that clear crystal fountain, watch it flow, watch it swell.
And my soul’s satisfied, and I’m happy, can’t you tell?
‘Cause I’m still drinking water from the well      

The words of the Southern Gospel song convey the need that Christians—we all—have for God and His word. Just as we need water to survive, we need God’s nourishment daily in order to thrive in our faith. His well never runs dry and is always available to quench our spiritual thirst. 

The four members of Redeemed Quartet, which includes two pairs of brothers, are best friends. They began performing in 2014 when they were all in their late teens, hoping to “shine a light in the darkness and lift the weary traveler.” 

Indiana is home to the group. They record and maintain a “leisurely” travel schedule while each working in careers outside the music industry by day. In the video, they appear to be regular, unassuming guys, but they are serious about their faith. In their short bios., each guy expresses the desire to bring joy, light, and/or encouragement to people. 

God certainly gifted them with vocal talent, and He blessed all of us with the opportunity to be enriched by their beautiful four-part harmonies!   

“But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” John 4:14

Are you in need of hope and encouragement today? Don’t miss this moment to spend time in worship as you listen to ‘God Can Use A Broken Man’ by Jason Crabb in this poignant music video. 

Jason Crabb, a prominent figure in Christian music, has consistently used his talent to deliver messages of faith, hope, and redemption. One of his notable songs, ‘God Can Use a Broken Man,’ encapsulates a powerful narrative of divine restoration and the transformative nature of God's grace.

‘God Can Use a Broken Man’ is a heartfelt and authentic exploration of the idea that God can work through individuals who are broken, flawed, and in need of His grace. The lyrics convey a message of hope, reassuring listeners that no matter how broken or imperfect they may feel, God has the power to use them for His plans and purpose. 

Perhaps you’re in need of this message right now because of the struggles and secret battles that only you and God know about. The message of this song is a powerful reminder God will redeem you and He has a purpose for you.

The song also highlights the universal truth that God's grace is not reserved for the righteous but extends to those like you, who may have strayed or faced struggles. It serves as a reminder that God specializes in using the broken pieces of our lives to create a beautiful mosaic of redemption and purpose.

Oh, God can use a broken man
He can take all of our failures and make us whole again 
I’m living proof, yes I am 
That God can use a broken man

What I treasure most about this song is how Jason reminds us it's okay to be broken. In fact, brokenness is a central theme of the song. In a world that often values perfection and success, this song speaks to the reality that everyone faces challenges and moments of brokenness. The song reminds us that in our brokenness, God fills in the cracks and makes us whole again. 

For individuals grappling with addiction, sin, or feelings of unworthiness, this song serves as a beacon of hope. It encourages them to turn to God, recognizing that He can use even the most broken parts of their lives for a greater purpose. It's a call to embrace vulnerability and surrender to the transformative power of God's love. 

Jason’s soulful delivery of this incredible message reminds us that our brokenness does not disqualify us from God's grace; rather, it positions us to experience the fullness of His healing and restoration. May this song inspire and encourage you to reach out to God today, trusting in His ability to use every broken aspect of your life for His divine purpose.

Psalms 51:17 “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not Despise.”
