Praise & Worship

A beloved and world-renowned musician and one of his talented children – Andrea and Matteo Bocelli – joined forces for a dazzling musical version of “The Lord’s Prayer.”

The Bible is essentially a blueprint and a guidebook for any and all situations in life. Whatever it may be, the Word of God has an example or a piece of wisdom that will prove helpful. God’s book is full of directions and guidance. 

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ even instructs His followers about the proper way to pray and communicate with the Lord. That prayer, which many have likely memorized by heart and could recite in their sleep, has become known as “The Lord’s Prayer.” In a clip posted on YouTube, Andrea and Matteo Bocelli have added musical notes and turned that series of Bible verses into a beautiful song.

In the video, Matteo sits at a brightly-colored piano, tickling the ivories while his father belts out the prayer in a sing-songy fashion. It’s a remarkable and moving version of the prayer Jesus Christ first recited in the book of Matthew. 

Others who commented on the YouTube link mentioned how much they loved and adored Andrea and Matteo’s musical version of “The Lord’s Prayer.”

“You couldn’t ask for a more moving, beautifully done version of our most important prayer. Your God given voice has given me so much peace and joy in my heart. Thank you, Bocelli family for this,” one person wrote. 

“Absolutely lovely and Andrea takes this song to another level! All the angels must have been listening to him and family! It was sooo good,” a second person added.

“The Lord’s Prayer has always been one of my favorites to read. Thank you for singing this. It was so beautiful!” a third individual mentioned. 

Matthew 6:9-10 “After this manner therefore pray ye. ‘Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. They will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.”

Don’t miss watching ‘In Christ Alone’ by Natalie Grant in the official music video. Natalie Grant, a vessel of divine grace and musical talent, has mesmerized audiences with her heavenly voice in her new song, ‘In Christ Alone.’ As her voice resonates with an ethereal quality, one cannot help but feel a profound connection to Jesus Christ, our Savoir.

Set in a greenhouse with sunlight flowing in, her lyrical masterpiece is a testament to the unwavering foundation we find in our Savior. Natalie Grant, with her anointed voice, breathes life into the verses, making them soar to the heavens. It is as if the very angels pause to listen, recognizing a kindred spirit harmonizing with the celestial chorus. 

With every verse, we ascend to the heavenly realms, carried by the wings of God’s promises. The melody becomes a lighthouse, cutting through the darkness and illuminating the path that leads to God’s comfort, strength, and hope. 

In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory
In the power of the cross

In moments of weakness, when our strength falters, God's grace is a mighty river that flows, lifting us from the depths of despair. His promises, like a radiant sunrise, dispel the shadows of doubt and fear. In the chorus of the song, we hear the anthem of heaven, a proclamation that in Christ alone, we find our glory, strength, and power as our spirits are lifted high.

This beautiful song is a declaration of dependence on the One who is our hope, our refuge, and our strength. It is an acknowledgment that, apart from God, our efforts are futile, but in His presence, we find an inexhaustible wellspring of hope. ‘In Christ Alone’ is not merely a song; it is a spiritual journey—a reminder that in the arms of God, we find solace, restoration, and unshakeable hope. We hope your spirit was uplifted by Natalie’s powerful song today. 

Acts 4:12 “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

‘This Is Our God & Gratitude’ by Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham, performed at the 54th Dove Awards, will leave you breathless as you praise God. 

The moment you hit ‘play,’ you’ll be dancing on the balls of your feet the same way Phil Wickham did during his performance. The song, ‘This Is Our God & Gratitude’ is a song filled with energy, life, and hope because of our Heavenly Father!

It’s a song that speaks to the battles conquered, and the victories won because of Jesus Christ in our lives. In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, Jesus continues to be the ultimate source of solace, strength, and salvation. 

Remember those giants we called death and grave
They were like mountains that stood in our way
But He came and He died and He rose
Those giants are dead now

The first two verses give the loving details of how Christ conquered sin and won the victory over “those giants we called death and grave.” The song rises in the beat for victory and praises about how God does the impossible in our lives simply because He loves us. 

The message of hope was broadcast to millions of people around the world. Between Brandon and Phil, they created a harmonious uplifting song filled with rhythm, melody, and lyrics inspired by biblical truths. It’s incredible to think how worship music has the extraordinary ability to soften hardened hearts, break down walls, and ultimately win lost souls to Christ.

Well done Brandon and Phil! Thank you for your willingness to follow the call of music that God has placed on your lives. We hope this music video filled your heart today!

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 “When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

If you are looking for a catchy new Christian artist, look no further. Check out 'One Of The Found' Katy Nichole official lyric video.

The upbeat melody instantly attracts the listener. This prayer type song is expressing this young woman’s heart calling out to God in the midst of her doubts. She shares in the chorus:

I'm reachin' out for Your savin', 'cause here in the waitin', yeah
I've been sinkin' in a sea of my doubts
Lord, break the horizon, 'cause I can't keep fightin', yeah
I just wanna be one of the found

Katy vulnerably and creatively shares about the struggle of wrestling depression and doubts, but desiring to seek the Savior. The song goes into the bridge of pleading for Jesus to come save her. Jesus is the only one who can rescue us from our sin. Scripture makes it clear that there is no other way to be saved. 

He has come after us like a Shepherd going after the one lost sheep. This song reminds us of the parable of the lost sheep found in the New Testament. Maybe you are a lost sheep or know a lost sheep. Jesus is pursuing, He is seeking to save the lost. We can be reminded of that truth today through Katy’s music. Christ cares about us individually and loves us. He comes in the midst of our mess.

This song is a current pop version to remind us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He is gently calling us to Himself. In a world where many are hurting and hopeless, His gospel meets them. He pursues the lost. He desires that none should perish, but that all should be saved. We get to celebrate this truth today.

“And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” Luke 15:5-6

Savor this video of “What a Beautiful Name,” sung and shared by TAYA (Taya Smith-Gaukrodger) and featuring André Valadão. What a treat it is!

TAYA, a former member of Hillsong United (a.k.a. United), was born Lismore, Australia, the daughter of a church elder and worship leader. You can hear an accent at times during this stunning performance; however, “performance” doesn’t seem quite the right word. TAYA completely engages her audience in the process of worship.

Dressed simply in an oversized sky blue blouse—the style oddly similar to a prison uniform—and black pants and combat boots, TAYA wears modest make-up and simple, delicate jewelry. Her look and presence are unique. Throughout the 8-minute performance, TAYA is feminine, exuberant, passionate, and clearly ready for battle in the name of Jesus.

She is joined at 2:50 by Pastor André Valadão. André Valadão (45) is a Brazilian Singer, Songwriter, Worship Pastor, and TV Presenter. Together, they lead the congregants of Lagoinha Baptist Church (at Virada 23 in Orlando); André is Lagoinha’s lead pastor. Lagoinha Baptist Church hosts 82,000 people and 45 services every week!    

Let’s take a closer look at TAYA and André’s inspiring collaboration. 

TAYA stands against the sky of blue, and the white lights look like stars. This rendition of “What a Beautiful Name” is unlike any we’ve heard. At 1:15, TAYA emphasizes “nothing” with a definitive gesture. And, at 1:50, she shouts out the word “greater” and changes up the words “separate us now” sung just seconds later.  

TAYA invites Pastor André onto the stage to “lead your people” in worship. From here, the singers sing alternately in English and Portuguese—delivering the good news that is understood in all languages and around the globe.

His name is beautiful! At 3:30, we get a view of the crowd, standing with raised hands and voices, as they sing of Heavenly Father. As the music builds, TAYA bounces as if unable to contain the joy she feels. 

At the 6-minute mark, the song winds down, and TAYA leads a prayer. Pastor André echoes each line in his native tongue. Surely, worshippers feel nearer to Heaven as they join TAYA and Pastor André in praise. 

What a blessing it is!

My ambition has always been to preach the Good News where the name of Christ has never been heard, rather than where a church has already been started by someone else. Romans 15:20

Music has the power to uplift our spirits, convey a powerful message, and help us praise the Lord. Check out this Christian family as they sing the cover of ‘Clean’ by the Gaither vocal band. 

From the moment the video on YouTube begins to play, a moment of holiness settles over the family of five boys, and their father sings an acoustic rendition that will leave you mesmerized and praising God. The performance beautifully captures the essence of the original song while adding their unique vocals. 

I stepped into the river, sank up to my knees in the mud
Beneath that cleansing flood
There was something about the water, there was power in the blood
For the first time in my life, I felt clean

Written by Gary Gatlin and Bill Gaither, the lyrics speak to the deep yearning for forgiveness and the transformative experience of having our sins washed away, leaving a clean slate. 

The performance not only showcases their vocal strength but also resonates deeply with its message of redemption and how Jesus washes us clean, one by one, when we give our lives to Him. It’s an incredible moment of freedom! 

Doesn’t it just move your heart to witness these five young gentlemen honor God with their father leading them? Their cover of 'Clean' is a testament to the impact of Gospel music and its ability to touch the hearts around the world, uniting us under the banner of Christ. We hope this song has given you a chance to reflect on the precious gift Christ gave us through his actions on the cross. 

1 John 1:7-9 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

Listen to this new version of ‘Faithfully’ by TobyMac in his new official music video. 

Faithfully isn’t just a song, it’s a testament to God’s enduring faith. Even when we are not faithful or we lose sight of our Savoir, He remains steadfast in His love for us. 

It's been a long year, it almost took me down, I swear
Life was so good
I'm not so sure we knew what we had
I'll never be the same man

The song alludes to the journey of grief he’s traveled after losing his firstborn son, Truett Foster McKeehan died of an overdose in 2019. In the midst of imaginable sorrow, TobyMac wasn’t sure he would ever make music again. 

Yet, through God’s faithfulness, the songs came. The first song ‘21 Years,’ was a window into the grief his family grappled with as they mended their broken family. 

The next song, ‘Faithfully’ became a reel of watching how God held TobyMac’s heart in His hands as TobyMac learned to live again without his son. The music video unfolds as though TobyMac is having a conversation with a journalist and reflecting on how God revealed His faithfulness over the last few years since Truett’s death. 

It will resonate with anyone who walked through dark days. The song carries an undertone of longing and heartache and reminds us that even in the face of unbearable loss, God will be our strength to help us carry on.

TobyMac shared the new release on his Instagram.  “One of my favorites off the “Life After Death” album and the first song I wrote after “21 years,” he wrote. “ I remember thinking “how can I ever write a song again, how can I ever do anything again? Why is the world still moving.” But our God is kind. He meets us in the hardest, coldest places. It doesn’t scare Him. He remains. I will never be the same man, but I’m a man who still believes,” he added. 

But when my world broke into pieces
You were there faithfully
When I cried out to You, Jesus
You made a way for me

In TobyMac's "Faithfully," we find a beautiful reminder that, even in our darkest hours, God will be lifting us up and holding us tightly as we continue our journey through the mountains and valleys. We hope this song blessed you today. 

2 Timothy 13 “If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.

Get your worship on with ‘Praise You In This Storm’ by contemporary Christian artists Casting Crowns and Phil Wickham. For years, this Casting Crowns hit has brought us peace and comfort in life’s storms to so many people around the world. Since 2014, when the song was released on their album ‘Thrive,’ it has become a staple in worship. 

And every tear I've cried, You hold in your handYou never left my sideAnd though my heart is tornI will praise you in this storm’

The slower tempo and pace of the song combined with Phil Wickham allows the listener to soak into the rich Biblical meaning of the lyrics. We are reminded no matter what is happening in life, God is by our side. Every tear is held in His hands. The song was inspired by Casting Crowns' experience with Erin Browning, a young girl dying of cancer. 

The band had the sacred honor of walking with her family through her illness and passing. It was an incredible moment to watch Erin’s family praise God after Erin passed away. Mark Hall, a band member of Casting Crowns, said watched Erin’s mother praising God. 

"Watching [Erin's mother] walk through this really showed me truth about my worship. Watching her walk through a real storm showed me that my worship was extremely situational,” He said. 

Today, Casting Crowns is teaming up with Phil Wickham for a special edition of this blessed song. For years, Phil has been using his God-given talent to reach hearts around the world for Christ. Since the age of 13, Phil has been a part of the worship team at his church. 

He felt called to become a worship leader, but he had no idea God had even bigger plans in store for him. Today, he takes his passion for Christ to a whole new level with his talent as he performs right alongside Casting Crowns. It’s a song you don’t want to miss. 

No matter what situation you’re facing, we hope this song and the meaning behind it have been a blessing. 

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”

You will fall in love with the song ‘Hallelujah Anyway’ performed by Charly Beathard in an official music video. 

Charly bridges the gap between authentic and sincere worship music and country music. With a voice that reveals the passion of the words she sings, Charly paints a picture of journeying through life while keeping our eyes on Christ. It’s not easy. 

In fact, some days are hard. We feel alone, discouraged, and disappointed. But Charly reminds us no matter what situations we are currently facing, we can sing ‘Hallelujah Anway.’ 

Come fire, come flood, come troubled waters
Jesus come what may
Hallelujah anyway

The Nashville native was discovered by record producers during a staff meeting at church. Charly was there to lead the team in worship. 

Jess Loper of Gotee Records remembers the moment he heard Charly sing. He recalled, “I snuck in the back of that room and was immediately floored by the sincerity and emotion in her voice. She is crafting veritable lyrics that universally resonate. We are so grateful for the chance to help share her music and what she is creating with the world.”

Like the song ‘Hallelujah Anyway,’ Charley’s desire for listeners to know and love music is the thread that weaves into every song she sings. She reminds us to believe in God’s plan, to lean into Him for comfort, and to rely on Christ for strength. 

‘Hallelujah Anyway’ is a testament to Charly’s commitment to creating music that resonates with people from all walks of life. We hope you enjoyed this music video and it strengthens your faith in Christ. 

Psalm 135:1-3 “Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!  You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God, praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant.”

Several musicians turned in an outstanding performance as they sang about laying down all their worries, fears and stresses at the feet of Jesus Christ.

Everyday living, with all its obligations and demands, can be a tall task. Sadly, it can often get to the point where making it through one single, solitary day can feel like a monumental accomplishment. Every choice, regardless of the situation or circumstance, can feel like a lose-lose proposition.

But even in cases of extreme worry and stress, when everything is overwhelming, people will still attempt to go at it alone. It’s easy to see, and most people understand that nothing good usually comes from these situations. In fact, people tend to make their issues immeasurably worse. This all occurs when there is a simple solution: lay it all at the feet of the Savior.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of musicians perform an acoustic version of “Come unto Jesus.” Right off the bat, in the opening verse, the songwriters encourage all who have problems, issues or worries to come to the Lord.

“Come unto Jesus, all you who are weary
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel
Here bring your wounded hearts, broken and needy
Come unto Jesus, mighty to heal”

Many people in the world – people all around us – are hurting and struggling. There are legions of people today who are far too familiar with pain, heartache and suffering. Some may even believe they are all alone, left to fend for themselves in those times of extreme worry and stress. 

But instead of going at it alone, there is one who is more than capable. He has overcome all. He is a God of love, mercy and comfort. He invites us to bring our troubles to Him and to cast all our burdens on Him.

Matthew 11:28 -29 “Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls.”

One of the biggest names in Christian music, Lauren Daigle, used her time on stage at the Dove Awards to sing a song, “Be Okay,” in support of and encouragement for the nation of Israel following the deadly, unprovoked terrorist acts in the Middle Eastern country.

The Middle East has, for thousands of years, been a hotbed of bitter disagreement, discord and deadly violence. Groups throughout history have threatened and even attempted to wipe the Jewish people and the nation of Israel off the face of the Earth. The unjustified and wholly unprovoked deadly October 7 attack on the tiny Jewish state demonstrates that hate toward the Jewish people is still very much alive. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Lauren Daigle addressed her peers at the Dove Awards, speaking on the attacks on Israel. She urged everyone to open their eyes to “what God may be calling us to.”

After speaking to the crowd, Lauren gave a heartfelt and moving performance. She sang “Be Okay,” a tune with an uplifting and positive message, encouraging people to continue fighting and going on even in the face of trials and hardships.

“You’re gonna be alright
Darling, you’re gonna be alright
‘Cause the stars’ll keep on shining through the darkest night
And you can know you’re gonna be alright”

Before her performance, Lauren encouraged all to share the good news and the love of the Gospel, to not shrink back from a fight, but instead speak up.

“We have the hope of eternity and the good news of the Gospel,” she said. “We aren’t bringing in messages that tear and divide. We’re bringing in messages that remind people of their worth, that remind children they are valuable, that they belong in society.”

Lauren ended her comments by stating that she and other Christians have been blessed with the responsibility and the opportunity to share the message of Christ with others.

“And I’ve been thinking, ‘God, how do I get these people prepared?’” she said. “We get to be a part of that number, that get to prepare the other people that are coming in to say, ‘What is it that Christianity actually has to offer? What is it?’ We get to be the ones to say, ‘There’s something greater. There’s something greater. His name is Jesus.’”

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to the salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

You will love ‘TEAR OFF THE ROOF’ by Brandon Lake, featuring the TV series ‘The Chosen’ in the music video. Brandon sings with a passion that opens hearts to the mighty power of our Savior. He takes God’s healing to a whole new level in this song. 

In an interview about the new song, Brandon commented, “I can’t think of a better storyteller of Jesus than THE CHOSEN TV series, so it made so much sense to team up and have their help in sharing the story of this song, which is based on Mark Chapter 2 and Luke Chapter 8.” He added, “Thank you to The Chosen for changing my life among millions of others. We pray this song reminds you of the healing power of Jesus!”

“There is a life-changing
Grave shaking, dead raising power in the room 
Heart-healing Hell-stealing 
No ceiling power, so tear off the roof”

This awe-inspiring new song, set to a beat-driven explosive melody, reminds us of  God’s limitless power that comes from the name of our blessed healer and Savior. What I love the most about the music video is how Brandon partnered with ‘The Chosen’ which depicts various scenes from the T.V. series, showcasing Jesus’ miracles. 

The climactic chorus of the song brings us to the story in the book of Mark when a paralyzed man was lowered through a hole made in the roof of the home Jesus was visiting. This man’s friends knew Jesus could heal him. They didn’t let the hoards of people in the home stop them from laying their friend at Jesus’ feet. 

When you’re feelings are frayed and doubt becomes a drumbeat in your mind, listen to ‘TEAR OFF THE ROOF’ and be reminded you serve a God who heals, who provides, and is miraculous. This song is a reminder to go out all for Jesus. Go after Him with your whole heart. He is waiting with open arms to provide rest, strength, healing, and comfort. 

We hope you enjoyed listening to this powerful song today! 

Mark 2:3-5 “And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “‘Son, your sins are forgiven.’”

In this very artistic music video, we see some incredible visuals and hear a sound of hope. Check out: ‘Amen' Natalie Layne official music video.

The clip starts out with an amazing light show and a young woman dressed in white at a piano. Other singers dressed in black join in singing with her.

The chorus goes:

People are helping people
Making space at the table
And I'm finding a little bit of that kindness
There's still good in the crazy world we're living in

Natalie is spreading an impactful message that there are still a lot of ways in which God is working through people that are often overlooked today. We can see the hurt and hear the hate, but there are still great reasons to “amen.” There have been a lot of difficult divisions and challenges in this world. 

It is easy to view the world from the perspective of only seeing the enemy at work. If we are not careful, the negative and the worries can bog us down to where we never see the good. Christ has overcome, and His Spirit is moving each and every day. Natalie is desiring to shed some light on the joy and the positive parts of life. She is reminding us to have hope and see the good.

We could all use a little more of the “glass half full” approach. Yes, sin exists, and pain is real, and we should be authentic in that struggle, but so often, we forget to live victoriously and joyfully each day. 

The Holy Spirit helps our cups to overflow and celebrate the good and the amazing ways the Lord is working in the midst of our mundane. This song does a great job of reminding us of that.

“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—” Psalm 103:1-2

Stand on the promises of the Lord as you listen to ‘Noting Ever Will’ performed by The Belonging Co. with Natalie Grant and Henry Seely. This worship moment captured on camera ushers us into reverence as we’re reminded nothing will ever become between us and our heavenly Father. 

Backdroped on a blue-lit stage, the sounds of a piano and organ begin the song's first few chords when Natalie cries out to Jesus before declaring, “Nothing ever will come between us, Jesus. Nothing ever will come between us, Jesus.” What a powerful reminder!

She then describes what our lives might look like when we need Jesus the most. It could be in the middle of a battle or in the middle of a storm. It may feel like all hope is lost. But none of these scenarios has the power to pry us from God’s mighty hands. We are reminded that God has the ultimate power and will stop at nothing to protect, care, and comfort His children. 

“How deep and how wide, is the love of Christ, it goes on and on. I've seen in my life, His grace don't run dry, it goes on and on and on. How deep and how wide, is the love of Christ, it goes on and on. I've seen in my life, His grace don't run dry, it goes on and on.”

Somedays it’s hard to keep our eyes focused on Christ when the situation we face overwhelms our thoughts and emotions. Anxiety and fear have us running in circles of ‘What if?” But if we can shift our focus, we can surrender to God and give Him complete control. We can exchange fear and worry as we whisper, ‘Let Your will be done.” 

In this genuine, awe-inspiring moment of worship, Natalie Grant, Henry Seely The Belonging Co. sing our heart’s desire, we want to firmly stand on the foundation of Christ. We hope this worship video gave you a moment to praise God and thank Him for how deeply He loves you!

Ephesians 3:18-19 “And may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God himself.”

Few songs convey the comfort and assurance that we have in Jesus better than “Firm Foundation (He Won’t),” performed live here by Katy Nichole and two talented musicians on guitar and percussion. For believers in Christ, “Firm Foundation” offers hope in the hard times and reminds us of the truth we’ve learned along the way. He won’t leave us or let us down!

Katy’s voice is sweet, pretty, and strong, and it’s easy to imagine her personality being likewise. Katy’s look is subtle and sincere; her clothes are neutral in color, and her jewelry is simple metal pieces. Who needs flash when you have a trio of Heavenly-blessed talents and a message with such incredible power!   

Here are a few lines from the second verse of “Firm Foundation:”

And I've still got joy in chaos
I've got peace that makes no sense
So I won't be going under
I'm not held by my own strength

Sometimes, we forget to rest in this truth. We get strung out with worry, doubt, and fear, but the writers of “Firm Foundation,” Cody Carnes, Austin Davis, and Chandler Moore, bring us back home—where peace and security lives. 

At 2:15, Katy begins the first verse again. This time, she sings more powerfully, boldly declaring where her confidence resides. And don’t miss all of the fun instruments that the drummer uses during the performance; the bridge at 3:15 is especially soothing. The guitarist sings along as the performance nears its conclusion, and at 5:10, Katy shouts out “He won’t”!

Essential Worship presents Song Sessions like this one to help worship leaders. Essential Worship “exist[s] to provide resources to worship leaders and worship teams to make it easier for the local church to discover and adopt new music and songs.” What a gift that is! 

“Firm Foundation,” whether enjoyed in church during worship or while traveling alone during the morning commute, is a great anthem for starting one’s day. It’s rare that the outside world doesn’t present sadness and trials, but those types of days are far more tolerable when Katy’s voice and Cory, Austin, Chandler, and God’s words remain forefront in our minds.   

“Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19

Take a moment to praise God as you listen to ‘Altar Call’ by Henry Seeley and The Belonging Co. 

The moment we give our lives to Christ, it’s as if we are caught up in the ocean waves of the Holy Spirit. We can see who are in through God’s eyes, and at the same time, we are immersed in His perfect glory as He wraps us in His overwhelming love and grace. 

The moment we answer the altar call, our lives are changed forever. It’s a moment in our lives where we can mark where we were dead in our sins and when we were birthed into God’s family. 

‘Altar Call’ was recently posted to the internet, and it is on fire with thousands of souls praising God for making a way through His Son Jesus. The caption under the video says, “This song is a beautiful representation of the miraculous moment of salvation, where the believer fully surrenders their life to Jesus and receives that eternal and holy gift from God.” The word miracle is the only way to describe God’s sovereignty, mercy, and love. 

Here’s my life I lay it at the altar, You are worthy of it, You are worthy of it.
No turning back Jesus now I surrender
My heart, my soul, my all 
You can have my heart, my soul, my all

Being called to repentance may sound like guilt and deserve punishment. But in God’s economy, repentance isn’t a punishment. It’s a chance to be immersed in the waters of His forgiveness. We’re washed anew! The moment of repentance is absolutely indescribable. If you’re in need of repentance, don’t hesitate to thank God for His forgiveness. May this song be a blessing and a bright light in your day. 

Revelations 2:5 “Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.”

If you are looking for a new heartfelt worship song, look no further. 'Calvary's Enough' in Brooke Ligertwood official music video.

There is no denying that Brooke Ligertwood can sing. This song motivates our hearts to praise the Lord. Brooke has a tenderness and joy over her Savior Jesus. She radiates for Christ. 

At the start of the video, Brooke sits at the piano in the stillness of the moment. She sings with headphones over her ears in a recording session and plays the keys softly. Her lyrics cause us to ponder the provision of the cross of Jesus. 

She sings in a somber yet hopeful way. This song invites us to feel the emotions of the cross. The bitterness, the pain, the struggle, in yet the glorious freedom and salvation that we received. She sings that Jesus’ blood shouts, and He has provided more than enough. The perfect Savior gives us the perfect salvation.

Her chorus sings out:

Calvary's enough
When I know nothing When I know too much
What I choose to know right now is
Calvary's enough

In our shame and guilt, and in our pride and selfishness, we are invited to come to Christ and let go of our sin and receive His grace and forgiveness. His death and resurrection were all that we needed. This beautiful song encapsulates the gospel and provides us with the joy of singing along that Calvary (The place where Jesus died) was sufficient to cover the sins of all who believe in Him. We can be reminded of this truth through a stunning melody alongside Brooke. As she sings her heart out, we too can join in the song. He is worthy to receive our praise because it is finished.

“So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.” John 19:30

In this beautiful worship song, the artist begins with a group of worship leaders flooded on a stage. There is a lively audience in a chapel. Charity begins to sing powerful lyrics about Jesus having the final word. You see people in the crowd lifting their hands in praise to God and celebrating His work in their lives. This song is wonderfully written because it is edifying to the Savior. It is not about us, it is all about Him. This song directs our hearts and our minds to the Hero of the world. 

The chorus sings out:

All praise, all praise
To the name above all names
Jesus, You reign
'Cause You're the name above all names 

The bridge has an encouraging reminder that the cross still stands and hell still knows. The truth of the gospel is still true for us. We are invited to celebrate the victory of Jesus. Just when we think we have heard this entire beautiful song, a man comes out preaching the Scriptures. It is a powerful moment of God’s kingdom work. 

You cannot help but join in with the congregation and worship our mighty Savior who has redeemed us. His sacrifice was more than enough and we are free from our sin. He is the name above all names. He is the only one worthy of our worship and that is stunningly written about in this song which is rich in Scripture. I love how rooted these lyrics are in the Word of God. This song has great heart and also solid truth which can be difficult to find. It is well done!

“Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names,” Philippians 2:9

Check out this encouraging song ‘Look At God’ performed by Koryn Hawthrone, the official music video. 

Set in a lush green forest with birds chittering, Koryn is sleeping peacefully she narrates, “God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.” She awakens refreshed as her life flashes across the screen before she sings about how God has blessed her. 

Koryn knows a thing or two about counting blessings. She arrived on the music scene through the reality television show ‘The Voice’ in season 8. After finishing in fourth place on the show, fans were praying she would find other avenues to showcase her beautiful voice and her Gospel, pop, rhythm, and blues hip-hop style. Koryn was blessed to sign with record label RCA Inspiration. Through Koryn’s highly octave timbre, she reminds us to count our ‘Look at God moments.’ 

“Sitting here counting my blessings, uh. Ain't no need for stressing in my life. My enemies, they might form weapons. Yeah, but I know I'm protected by the blood. Protected by the love of God.” 

When we look back at our lives, we can view through the lens of God’s goodness. We remember how He provided comfort, created miracles, and answered prayers. Koryn’s song is the perfect way to chase away discouragement and doubt as we are reminded how God blesses us. 

These moments of gratitude shift our perspective away from the trials and set our hearts on His faithfulness. Koryn reminds us that when we choose to give thanks to God for the blessings in our lives, we are ushering ourselves into His presence; it fills us with His love, hope, joy, and peace!

Take a moment to sit with Jesus and recount the blessings in your life. Thank God for His wisdom, strength, love, peace, and guidance. We hope this music video blessed your day!

Numbers 6:24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”

Listen to this incredible performance, ‘Ocean (Where My Feet May Fail)’ by Taya, during live worship from Baptize SoCal. Perched above hundreds of people wading in and out of the rolling ocean waves, Taya’s angelic voice ushered listeners into the presence of God.

“So I will call upon Your Name, Jesus
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace”

What a beautiful and soulful song! And such an incredible performance. Taya’s voice captures the emotional rising tide of blessings as hundreds of people gave their lives to Christ. They were baptized in the ocean waves during California’s largest collaborative baptism event. Over 250 churches unified with the mission to share the Gospel and save the lost. More than 12,000 individuals attended and over  4,000 souls gave their lives to Christ. 

“We believed that if we stepped out in obedience, God’s people would rally, and it would become one of the largest water baptisms in American History,” said Pastor Mark Francy of Oceans Church. Taya’s worship song couldn’t be more fitting. Originally released by Hillsong Worship in 2013, the song ‘Oceans’ is based on the story of Peter in Matthew 14:22-33. Peter was called by Jesus to step out of his fishing boat and walk to Jesus. 

What a beautiful and poignant song! It reminds us no matter how we fail ourselves, God will never let us down. When we begin to lose our footing, we are reminded to keep our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith. 

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)’ by TAYA today! Share it with a loved one in need of encouragement. 

Matthew 14:28-29 “‘Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “‘Come,’” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.”
