Praise & Worship

Often, Joseph is not thought of. Song expresess his commitmen to "Protect & Provide" for God's son. Soloist MARTIN TUBRIDY, the original bass that Harry Chapin wrote of in his song, Mr. Tanner, brings this song to life.

A choir of unbelievably talented musicians turned in an emotional and moving performance of a song about praising and worshiping the Lord for His endless love and mercy.

The world is a fallen and lost place inhabited by people hurting and struggling. They are broken and bruised and looking for hope wherever they may find it. But thanks to Christ’s willing sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection, all have been given hope and a chance at everlasting life with Him. 

For all Christ has done, defeating death and sin and bringing hope, there is no way to praise and thank Him properly. But what else can we do? All we have is our praise to offer Him, and not even that is fit for a King.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a choir performs Brandon Lake’s classic “Gratitude,” about offering our praise and worship to the Lord because that’s all we have to give. It’s an absolutely stunning and moving a cappella performance – one all are sure to enjoy and appreciate.

“So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah”

Christ went to the cross and died a horrible, awful and completely undeserving death. He went through all of that excruciating pain and agony for a bunch of sinners, people who had willingly turned away and were disobedient. But God showed pity and mercy for a lost people by sending His one and Only Son to die for us to bridge the gap and rupture that sin had caused.

That level of love, mercy and grace is hard to fathom. There is nothing anyone can do to become worthy of such a selfless and loving gift. As the song says, all we can do is throw up our hands and praise Him repeatedly. 

Isaiah 25:1 “O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honor to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.”

"Praise the Lord" is a song about praising the Lord with music and dancing. This is an exciting animated music video of the song. I hope you enjoy it!

This is an original Christmas song about the important things with Christmas. Feel free to check out the rest of my music on spotify at the link below.

An immensely talented quartet, Brothers of the Heart, shows off their awe-inspiring musical gifts with a moving and upbeat performance of an old and beloved Christian hymn, “Will the Circle be Unbroken?”

There is always pain and grief whenever a loved one passes away, regardless of the surrounding circumstances. It does not matter if the death was somewhat expected and came after a long, grueling health battle or out of the blue. The hurt stings and is real. But for followers of Jesus Christ, that pain may not hurt as much.

Christians understand that death is not the end. Heaven awaits those who confess their sins and believe Jesus Christ is Lord. In a clip posted on YouTube, Brothers of the Heart perform “Will the Circle be Unbroken,” a tune about losing loved ones but awaiting a joyous reunion in heaven.

“Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, yes, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky”

In the song, a beloved mother passes away, and her children are absolutely devastated. They are understandably left in tears and pain as they mourn the passing of their mom. But despite the hurt and heartache, the upbeat and uplifting chorus reminds us and anyone who may be going through a loss that death is not the end.

Because of Christ’s brutal and undeserving death on the cross, and His resurrection, everlasting life with Him is a possibility. As the song mentions, “There’s a better home awaiting” for those who confess their sins, turn from their ways and follow Christ. Death, thanks to Jesus Christ, holds no power. 

At the end of the band’s performance, the audience reacts with much-deserved cheers and applause, giving the guys a standing ovation. 

Psalm 23:4 “Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.”

Two incredibly talented singers gave an outstanding performance while singing about God’s unbelievable and awe-inspiring mercy and grace.

All, according to the Bible, have sinned and fallen well short of the glory of God. There is nothing that anyone can do to earn salvation. It’s simply not possible for a human being to do enough to obtain everlasting life. But because of God’s love, mercy and grace, He made a way. He sent His Son as a sacrifice, taking our place on the cross.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Jason Crabb and Dylan Scott sing “Good Morning Mercy.” Of course, as the song’s title implies, it’s about the Lord’s astounding mercy and the grace that He consistently shows to those who love and follow Him.

The tune’s opening verse states that even after we have confessed our sins and turned our lives over to Him, humans still tend to make a mess of things. Even in those instances, Christ is still at work, guiding and directing, while He works to make something beautiful out of a mess we’ve created.

But it’s the song’s chorus that really drives home the point of how fantastic and amazing God’s mercy and grace are to a bunch of sinners.

“Goodbye to the hurting
You woke me up put me on my way
Hallelujah it’s a brand new day
Good morning mercy”

Additionally, as any Christian knows, being saved is only the beginning of a walk with the Lord. He is constantly teaching, molding and refining, working to shape us into the person He wants us to be. The second verse points out the fact that Christians are not perfect. There is still learning taking place, and as this happens, Christians will trust and follow the Lord more and more. Because, as the song states, He has tomorrow, the future, in His hands.

What a powerful performance from a couple of talented individuals singing about God’s amazing mercy and life-changing grace!

Matthew 9:13 “But go and take to heart the sense of these words, ‘My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.”’

SONG BY ELAINE TAYLORBROWN

This is a song that simply came into my head one day when I was praying and repenting of a sin I had just done in haste. I know for sure that it was God's answer to my prayer. Over the years I've gradually came to understand more and more, the meaning of the wonderful words.

"Hosanna to the Risen Lord" is a catchy song giving praise to God that Jesus is risen, having died for the sins of the world. Jesus gave his life to forgive people for their sins, if they put their faith in him. He was resurrected, within three days.

This is an original I wrote and sang at the Homestead Hollow Festival in Springville, Al

"Praise the Lord Forever" is a fun song of praise to God. He is the one true God. He alone is worthy of worship. This is exciting Disco music. As usual, the music video contains 3D animation. I hope you enjoy it! Praise the Lord!

A trio of incredibly talented vocalists gave a touching and moving cover of the most beloved and well-known hymn of all time, “Amazing Grace.”

All are sinners and have fallen well short of the glory of God. But despite this fact of man’s sinful and fallen nature, God showed a tremendous amount of love, mercy and pity on us when He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross. If not for that act of grace and love, none would have a chance at everlasting life. All would have been lost and without hope. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, The Texas Tenors sing about the Lord’s amazing and life-giving gift of grace. While it’s a tune everyone is familiar with, the lyrics are still as touching and true as ever. His love, mercy and grace will never stop being astounding, confounding and amazing!

“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”

While the memorable lyrics remain the same, the music accompanying the singing sounds different slightly from the original. Normally, from the opening notes of the song, before a word is sung, everyone within earshot recognizes “Amazing Grace.” But that’s not the case here. It’s not until one of the members of The Texas Tenors begins belting out the lyrics that the tune becomes familiar.

In addition to changing up the music a little, the guys also sang the song oddly in spots. They unexpectedly sing some lines with a different rhythm and cadence than the original. The change is nothing drastic that alters the meaning or feeling of the classic song in any way. It's something slight that helps to differentiate their version from the hundreds of thousands of other times “Amazing Grace” has been performed. 

“Amazing Grace” is without question the most well-known and widely recognized hymn of all time. One look at or listen to the song’s lyrics, and it’s clear why. All are sinners, and no one deserves the grace the Lord generously gives to all who ask for forgiveness. 

Ephesians 2:8 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God.”

Check out the official video ‘Crazy About You’ by Tauren Wells. The message of this song packs a powerful punch that will take your breath away. God is crazy about you! This song is punctuated by Tauren’s soulful voice and powerful vocals backed by a choir of background singers. The complex combination of music styles creates a traditional soulful church rock song. The sound heightens the meaning of the words of the song too!

“He's crazy about you. Died so you didn't have to.
Tore your failure apart, now He wears your scars
That's how much He loves you.”

Have you ever thought about God’s love this way? Have you considered that God loved you so much His son now wears scars for you? What a great song with a life-changing message. It’s taking the internet by storm with over 21,000 views and hundreds of comments. 

One viewer shared how this song impacted her relationship with Jesus. She wrote, “When I sit quietly by myself and listen to this song I get goosebumps!  It’s like Jesus is holding me in His arms and surrounding me with His love!  Thank you, Tauren for this beautiful song!”

“This song is coming from his heart, it's like his poetry to say something in a way that hits our hearts,” another viewer posted.” Especially those who have heard of salvation since a young age. He has a way of telling the story afresh so we keep living the beauty of it all our lives.”

Another listener thanked Tuaren for the song, “Thank you Tauren, for a heartwarming, beautiful, and touching song. This song made me cry. May God keep blessing you.”

We hope you enjoyed this new song from Tauren Wells today! 

Psalm 30:4-5 “Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

A talented musician gave an inspiring and moving performance as he sang a beloved tune, reminding Christians of God's faithfulness, love and mercy. 

Life is a relatively easy and enjoyable experience when everything is going well and according to plan. Whenever troubles and worries are minimal and the stress of everyday living remains at a manageable level, life is pleasant. But then there are instances when that’s not the case. There are times when our faith is stretched and tested. Those instances are painful and experiences everyone would rather avoid if possible.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Jason Crabb sings “God on the Mountain.” It’s a song that reminds Christians that the Lord remains the same during those uncertain and painful periods of life. He is still in control, always working and ever faithful. The lyrics remind followers of Jesus Christ that He will never leave nor forsake us. 

“For the God on the mountain
Is still God in the valley
When things go wrong
He’ll make them right”

At the end of his performance, the entire room claps and applauds, showing their appreciation for Jason’s display of his God-given talent. Some in the room are even moved to tears, with the camera catching a few wiping their eyes. However, it’s also very likely that they are showing their complete and total agreement with the song’s message.

While in the middle of a battle or a struggle, this idea of the faithfulness of God can be difficult to remember, but it is true. There will be times when our faith is tested and pushed to its limits. But this tune is an excellent reminder that God is a loving and always faithful Lord. He has never let us down. He has never given us any reason to believe He will start now. 

Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations;”

An immensely talented musician, Liv Harland, gives a moving and powerful rendition of a popular tune from Hillsong UNITED, performing in a beautiful, awe-inspiring location.

Most people enjoy and appreciate knowing what to expect in any given situation. Planning and anticipating are the best ways to combat and strategize against the unknown. However, that’s not how life often works. Instead, things – good and bad - can crop up out of nowhere, leading to confusion and the testing and stretching of our faith.

In a clip posted on YouTube, singer Liv Harland belts out the lyrics to the song “Oceans (Spirit Lead Me),” a tune about fully trusting in the Lord’s guidance and direction when the outcome is more than a little murky. The track accurately describes situations everyone has found themselves in at one time or another. The lyrics also correctly point out the feelings of fear, angst and unease that so often accompany those times. 

From the opening seconds of the video, it’s clear that Liv possesses an abundance of musical talent. Her voice is beautiful, wonderfully singing out the lyrics about having faith in God during a period of extreme uncertainty.

“Your grace abounds in the deepest waters
Your sovereign hand will be my guide
Where feet mail fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now”

During these periods, when the present situation and what lies ahead is unclear, simply call out the Lord’s name, as the lyrics mention. He is faithful, having never let us down up until this point. He will be there to provide help, healing, comfort and guidance. 

The stretching and testing of our faith is never ever fun. In fact, it’s often painful. But those circumstances can draw us closer to Him, forcing us to rely upon Him more and more because sometimes that is all we can do. 

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled: for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
