Praise & Worship

Listen to this amazing song titled ‘Salvation Mountain’ by Lauren Daigle and featuring guitar virtuoso Gary Clark Jr.

“You turn my rags into riches, my mess into marvelous, my broken into beautiful
Like only You can, You take my fear into faith, my hopelessness to happiness
My loneliness into living, it's where You're takin' me, I'm on my way to Salvation Mountain
Yeah, I'm here to be changed, I'm here to be free, I'm on my way to Salvation Mountain”

What an amazing song that reminds us how God can completely turn our lives around. This soulful song is part of Lauren Daigle’s new full-length self-titled album. The project’s first ten songs came out in May, and another thirteen songs were released in September. The song ‘Salvation Mountain’ was written over the course of a road trip with co-writer Jonas Myrin to the eccentric landmark in the California desert. 

With her music, Lauren Daigle shares that she wants others to know that God loves His people as they are. “There is a lot of joy in having a relationship with Jesus,” she says. 

“And so expressing that kind of sentiment and this lack-of-shame expression of God was so important to me, for people to see Him as this God of love and God of kindness and this God that will meet you in any place that you’re at.”

Lauren Daigle has had huge success with both Christian and contemporary listeners, but she says that she is just getting started. She shares that her most recent album is her most personal one yet, and she is just beginning to find her true sound. We can’t wait to hear more from this talented artist!

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Salvation Mountain’ by Lauren Daigle today!

Check out this great worship performance by The Gaither Vocal Band of the song ‘God Leads Us Along.’

“In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads His dear children along
Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet, God leads His dear children along
Some through the waters, some through the flood, some through the fire, but all through
The blood, some through great sorrow, but God gives a song, in the night season”

This rendition of ‘God Leads Us Along’ was recorded live at Gaither Studios in Alexandria, IN in 2021. In the video, Bill Gaither starts off sharing a memory before the song starts. “My old buddy Al Belittle used to sing this on Wednesday night prayer meetings. I’ll never forget it. Listen,” he says. Then he starts off the song, and the other vocalists join him later on. They all sound incredible together!

The song ‘God Leads Us Along’ is a great reminder that God’s providence is still with us even in our difficult moments. In fact, it was a hard moment that inspired the writing of this hymn.

The hymn’s author was George A. Young, and he was a rural preacher who humbly served the Lord. After saving up enough money and resources for a while, George was able to construct a simple home for his family. Unfortunately, while George Young was away preaching, some bad people who did not like him sharing the Gospel burned down his house and it was completely destroyed. It was out of this tragedy that George Young reaffirmed his faith in God by writing ‘God Leads Us Along’ in 1903.

This hymn has continued to uplift and encourage so many people through the years, and we hope that you enjoyed listening to The Gaither Vocal Band’s rendition of it today! 

Does it feel like the ground beneath your feet feels like shifting sand that swirls with the ocean tide? Is your heart filled with doubt, fear, and anxiety? Let the song, ‘Hidden In You’ by Naomie in her official lyric video wash away your fears and saturate you in the presence of the Lord. 

Naomie walks through a lush forest to the edge of a flowing river where she slowly wades into the water as she sings of God’s perfect peace and how His goodness will overcome the world. Her melodic voice ushers us to remember God’s promises. 

You are the perfect peace Coming to rescue me
‘Cause my life is hidden, hidden in you
You are the constant one Your goodness will overcome
‘Cause my life is hidden, hidden in you

To be hidden in Christ doesn’t mean we are waiting for eternity. It means to be hidden in God here and now. When Jesus died, He didn’t die for Himself; He died in place of us, taking our sins upon Himself. When we said yes to Jesus, we passed through death and are now in Christ. This monumental truth means we will have all of eternity to be with the Lord. In the here and now, we will go through trials, tribulations, and heartache. Like vessels of clay, God uses these moments to mold and shape us to look more like Christ. We are reminded God’s goodness will overcome and His perfect peace will continue to be our constant companion. 

May this song lift your soul and set your eyes on the king of Kings. 

Colossians 3:1-4 “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

It may feel like a bleak ‘Friday’ in your life but here’s your chance to lay your burdens down and listen to ‘Sunday’s Comin’ by Zach Williams, featuring Warren Peay. When Zach began the process of writing and recording this song, he wanted something we all could relate to. 

Life throws the unexpected at us. It feels as though the very breath we breathe has been squeezed from our lungs. But we can rejoice knowing Sunday’s coming. Not just in the sense that Christ rose from the dead on that special Sunday thousands of years ago. We can rejoice knowing Sunday is coming. A day we can rejoice and reconnect with God as we walk through the doors of church to soak in his presence lay burdens down, and worship Him. 

When Zach released the song, he explained why he wrote it. “The story behind my song Sunday's Comin' is an anthem to me. No matter what the devil throws at us, we always know that Sunday is coming. I hope this song can be an anthem for you too,” he said. 

His country gospel style lends to the song adding a depth of real life to the lyrics. 

For the mamma’s praying for their family your Sunday’s comin’
For the daddy’s struggling to make ends meet your Sunday’s comin’
And if addiction’s bringing you to your knees your Sunday’s comin’
Oh, if anybody here wants to be set free your Sunday’s comin’

The words are simple but incredibly powerful. He describes the power Jesus used to conquer the grave and how it will vanquish the struggles we have in our lives as we seek to glorify God in all that we do. May this song become one of your favorites to listen to. May it become your anthem and reminder Sunday is coming. 

Matthew 28:5-6 “The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.'"

This is a music video for the song, "Worship You Alone". The song is obviously one of praise to God. As usual, it contains 3D computer animation. I hope you enjoy the song, and praise God.

Check out this beautiful and classic performance by Celtic Woman of their song 'The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun.'

“High is the moon tonight, hiding it's guiding light, high, heaven and earth do sleep,
Still in the dark so deep, I will the darkness sweep, I will the moon to flight,
I will the heaven's bright, I will the earth to light, open your eyes with me, see paradise with me
Awake and arise with me, I am the dawn, I'm the new day begun, I bring you the morning”

This wonderful song was written by David Downes, who is the composer and musical director of Celtic Woman, as well as Brendan Graham. And this fantastic performance of 'The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun' was filmed at Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland.

The lyrics in the song 'The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun' speak of the beauty of nature and the power of love. The sunrise symbolizes the beginning of a new day, a new hope, and a new chance to start afresh. And the sky and the sun represent the elements that sustain life and give light to the earth. It is a beautiful song that reminds us of the power of nature and the importance of cherishing it and how love can light up even the darkest of days.

The singers in Celtic Woman always sound so angelic when performing together, and we hope that you enjoyed listening to their incredible voices sing 'The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun.'

Nehemiah 9:6
You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.

Check out this incredible worship performance of the song ‘God Problems’ from Maverick City Music featuring Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine.

“There’s just some problems only God can fix, all of these trials wore me down to this
I’ve seen it happen time and time again, there’s just some problems only God can fix
There’s just some battles flesh and blood can’t win, there’ll be some moments
That just don’t make sense, can’t see it now, but I’m still convinced”

This amazing song was written by the talented Naomi Raine, Daniel Bashta, Ryan Ellis, and Chris Davenport. And it is part of the band’s upcoming project titled Maverick Way EP that is coming out in September.

The song delves into the complexities of human struggles and the unchanging nature of God’s love and faithfulness. In the music video, Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine lead the heartfelt worship, and it is wonderful to see everyone in the room praising God together.

“Awesome! So blessed to see all of these young worshippers on fire for God!” comments one person on YouTube after watching the music video. “Glory to God!”

“Maverick City music just hit different! Another powerful praise song,” writes another person online.

When talking about the song, Maverick City shared that they hope it will be an encouragement to all who hear it. “Our prayer is that this song will continually encourage and serve as a reminder that the battle belongs to God!” the band says.

The beautiful lyrics and melody of ‘God Problems’ really captures the essence of seeking solace and strength from God in the midst of life’s challenges. We hope you enjoyed listening to this song today!

Psalm 36:5
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.

Be filled with hope as you listen to ‘Working On A Building’ sung by the Gaither Vocal Band during a live performance. These powerful words remind us that while we are here on earth, we still have an active hand in building our heavenly homes with our hearts, actions, deeds, and words. 

“Oh, I'm working on a building (Lord, I'm working on a building).
Yes, it's a true foundation. (Lord, it's a true foundation)
Child, I'm holding up the blood, blood, blood-stained banner for my Lord.”

It’s so easy to lose sight of eternity when we are caught up in our daily lives. The Good Book reminds us when we offer up to God selfless acts of love and faith. We are helping Christ as he prepares a place for us. Our heavenly home 

The Gaither band is a well-known all-male group with deep southern roots dedicated to spreading the Gospel through music that came onto the music scene in the 1990s. 

The Gaither Vocal Band is a popular all-male southern ensemble. This group has been sharing their gospel music for decades. The band's name comes from the founder and leader, Bill Gaither, a singer and songwriter. Over the years, members have changed, but the mission to spread God’s life-altering message hasn’t. 

Today we are listening to one of the band’s beloved soundtracks that usher us into a poster of reverence for the Lord. Just listen as these soulful voices sing in harmony to create the most joyful sounds of praise as they remind us of our future heavenly home. 

“I'll never get tired, tired, tired of working on a building (Lord, I'm working on a building).
I'm gonna run on to heaven, oh Lord, and get my reward.”

What a perfect reminder our home here on earth is only temporary. Some day, we will meet Jesus face to face as he walks each of us home. 

John 14:2-3 “In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”

Listen to this great duet of ‘Step By Step’ from Natalie Grant and Dolly Parton.

“Well, there's a bridge and there's a river that I still must cross, as I'm going on my journey
Oh, I might be lost and there's a road I have to follow, a place I have to go
Well, no one told me just how to get there, but when I get there I'll know 'cause I'm taking it
Step by step, bit by bit, stone by stone yeah, brick by brick, step by step, day by day”

What a fun duet! The song ‘Step by Step’ was made popular by Whitney Houston when she recorded it for the soundtrack for the movie The Preacher’s Wife. This was the first time Natalie Grant and Dolly Parton have recorded a song together, and Natalie shared just how exciting this experience was for her.

“In 1996, ‘Step By Step’ is a song I would blast on cassette in my beat up Volkswagen Golf as I drove to my job at Medicare,” shares Grant. “The dream when I moved to Nashville was music, not Medicare, but I had to do what was necessary to keep going. 

This song was my reminder to keep putting one foot in front of the other. If you would’ve told me then that one day, I would not only be recording this song, but doing it with an international icon, I never ever would’ve believed it. I still can’t believe it.”

This rendition of ‘Step By Step’ from Natalie Grant and Dolly Parton will be on Natalie’s new album titled Seasons coming out in October. And the 10-track album will feature Natalie Grant’s own take on songs that have made a lasting impression on both her life and her career.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this fun song today!

Check out this beautiful worship performance from American Idol alum Megan Danielle of the song ‘Goodness of God’ by Bethel Music.

“I love You, Lord, for Your mercy never fails me. All my days, I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up, until I lay my head, oh, I will sing of the goodness of God
And all my life You have been faithful, and all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able, oh, I will sing of the goodness of God”

This amazing song was written by Jenn Johnson after the adoption of her son, Ryder. She found herself driving on a long country road and started to record the song into her phone about the kindness and faithfulness of God. She wrote and sang the majority of “Goodness of God” as an overflow of her heart in that moment. Later, she was able to finish and record the song with Ed Cash, Jason Ingram, and Ben Fielding.

When it comes to Megan Danielle, she was one of the singers on season 21 of American Idol. Megan grew up in Douglasville, Georgia with two sisters and a brother. Growing up, she had always heard about God but didn’t really know who He was. It wasn’t until she was 18 years old and started to attend church on a regular basis that her faith became real and a vital part of her life.

During Megan’s performances throughout her time on American Idol, she was able to showcase a vast array of musical styles and influences, including Miranda Lambert, Lauren Daigle, Chris Stapleton, Zach Williams, Patty Griffin, Fleetwood Mac, and more. And her first official single post-American Idol, “Dream Girl,” is available now.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to Megan Danielle’s rendition of ‘Goodness of God’ today!

Exodus 33:19
Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

Two young men displayed their outstanding voices when they gave a stunning performance of a contemporary Christian music favorite.

Musicians performing songs created by other artists is a practice that is likely as old as music itself. Even bands who have been around for decades and have amassed a healthy catalog of music will often sing covers. Covers or reinterpretations of popular songs will not be going away anytime soon. 

One song that has received a healthy dose of the cover treatment is Hillsong UNITED’s “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail).” A quick YouTube search of “Oceans Where Feet May Fail cover” turns up dozens and dozens of different renditions of the song, including one from Christian music Lauren Daigle.

In another cover of “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” two young men, Anthony Gargiula and Jamie Miller, try singing the Hillsong UNITED tune. Their rendition is a powerful and thoroughly enjoyable cover. Their voices perfectly complement one another.

“Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander”

Currently, the short clip has been viewed more than 450,000 times. It’s clear to many that both young men have been immensely blessed with angelic voices. 

This cover is one that is more than worth a few listens. Others who commented on the video stated how they wholeheartedly agreed with that sentiment.

“Goosebumps, ya’ll. Jesus blessed you with incredible voices!!!” one person wrote.

“Both voices are just beautifully raw. Singing with so much emotion, I’m loving every moment,” a second individual added. 

“Anthony and Jamie, let me just say, your voices are SO SO BEAUTIFUL!! It brought tears to my eyes… Thank you, thank you, thank you!” another person posted.

Psalm 95:1 “O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.”

Worship song exalting God, Who alone is worthy of all praise - filmed in a scenic fall setting.

Check out this beautiful worship song called ‘I’ve Witnessed It’ from Passion, Melodie Malone, and Jenn Johnson.

“When I was lost and all alone, Your presence was where I found home. You were there
And You’re here right now, in every high and every low. You never left me without hope
You were good, and You’re good right now. I’ve witnessed Your faithfulness
I’ve seen You breathe life within, so I’ll pour out my praise again. You’re worthy, God”

This wonderful worship performance was recorded live in Nashville, TN, and Melodie Malone, Jenn Johnson, and the rest of the Passion band did an incredible job sharing the beautiful message within this music. The main theme in the lyrics is being a witness to the hope we have in God’s goodness. The theme of the cross and resurrection are also touched on in the third verse.

Passion’s Melodie Malone shared some of her thoughts about the meaning of the song. “We don’t often use the word ‘witness’ in our everyday vernacular, and it is my hope that we reinstate a bit of the meaning it carries in this song,” she said. “We sing to remind our souls of the character of the one we worship and to help resuscitate a faith in desperate need of hope.”

The song ‘I’ve Witnessed It’ reminds us to remember who God is and what He has done in our lives, and then share about what we have seen! We hope that you enjoyed listening to this song today and it was able to bring you some encouragement.

Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.

Listen to this wonderful rendition of 'My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)' by Natalie Grant and CeCe Winans.

“How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me? Things so undeserved
Yet You gave to prove Your love for me, the voices of a million angels could not express
My gratitude, all that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee, to God be the glory
To God be the glory, to God be the glory, for the things He has done”

What an incredible version of this beautiful song from Natalie Grant and CeCe Winans! They sound wonderful together, and their voices complement each other in the most stunning way.

“This is such a beautiful rendition. So genuine, so moving.  Their voices meld beautifully together. To God be the glory! Hallelujah!” comments one person online after listening to the song on YouTube.

“So Beautiful! I have chills! Amazing remake!” writes another person online.

The song 'My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)' was written by gospel singer and songwriter Andraé Crouch. He first recorded it in 1972 on his album titled Keep on Singin'. It is considered one of Andraé Crouch's most well-known songs.

“Andraé Crouch albums were often spinning on our family record player when I was a child. He was truly a legendary artist, and I think this song is one of the greatest songs ever written,” shares Natalie Grant. 

“I have also been listening to CeCe Winans since I was 11 years old. No other artist has had a more profound impact on my own art. To sing this song and these words with one of my heroes is a life-changing moment for me. I’ve always felt like CeCe embodies the words of this song in not only her music and ministry but also in her life. It has been my prayer to do the same.”

Coming up this October, Natalie Grant will be releasing her latest album titled Seasons. The 10-track album features Natalie Grant’s own twist on songs that have made a lasting impression on both her life as well as her music career.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this version of 'My Tribute (To God Be The Glory)' by Natalie Grant and CeCe Winans today!

Check out this wonderful live performance of the song ‘These Are The Days’ by Cory Asbury.

“Hospital to home was a four-minute drive, with a baby on board, made it thirty-five, we didn’t
Sleep a wink that night, just laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes. These are the days
That we’ll want back, at the kindergarten drop off line, his first day of school didn’t even cry
That was when we knew that life had a funny way of passing us by”

What a moving and emotional song that sums up parenthood in the most poetic way. It is deeply relatable and speaks to how quickly time passes while raising children and the desire to relish every moment we get with them.

“The emotion that goes through this song is incredible,” writes one person online after watching the music video. “The truthfulness in the lyrics blows me away.”

The song ‘These Are The Days’ is one of the tracks on Cory Asbury’s upcoming album titled Pioneer. Cory talks about his new album and how his sound may have changed since the last time he released music years ago.

“I’ll always be the ‘Reckless Love’ guy, but my art has evolved,” he said. “I’ve changed. I’ve grown. And hopefully, after more than 3 years, I’ve got something new to say. After all, that is the office of the artist—to give language to the things we all feel and experience.”

Parents know that having a child is like having your heart walking around outside of your body. And this song truly encapsulates the joy of seeing them grow up and the pain of having it all pass by too quickly. We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘These Are The Days’ by Cory Asbury today!

Proverbs 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

chart-topping Christian artist lyric video

This is a music video for "Lord, How Great You Are", by Heath Bewley. The music is very calming and is a song of praise. I hope you enjoy this meditative song.

Check out this great video of Mac Powell giving a live performance of the song ‘God Of Wonders’ at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO.

“Lord of all creation, Lord of water, earth and sky, the heavens are your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high, God of wonders beyond our galaxy, You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty, You are holy, holy, Lord of heaven and earth”

This beautiful song talks about God’s wonder and majesty and Him being the Lord of all creation. The lyrics celebrate the light and remind us to call on His name in the darkness. It is powerful, and it is clear to see why this popular worship song has been sung in churches all over the world for years.

‘God Of Wonders’ was written by Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd, who are members of the Christian Rock group The Choir. The song was created for a worship project called City on a Hill, and it first appeared on the 2000 album City on a Hill: Songs of Worship and Praise performed by Mac Powell.

When talking about how the song came together, Steve Hindalong remembers it vividly. “I had a black Guild guitar that Marc used to borrow fairly often. He took it on a lone writing retreat to a cabin somewhere in Arkansas where he professes to have had a spiritual epiphany. There was something profoundly inspired about several songs he wrote on that sojourn. One of them was what would become 'God of Wonders.' He played me the chord progression, singing a few lyrics like, 'Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth…' Immediately I felt soul-stirred. I sensed that it called for loftier language than we are typically inclined to use. Marc and I both tend to write very personal, introspective lyrics. But I felt like this one needed to be more transcendent – grander than us.”

Steve continued: “We both feel thankful for its inspiration, and humbled to have offered it.

It's beyond our comprehension really – this notion that the Creator, not just of our world, not just of the Milky Way, but of ALL the galaxies in the universe – wants to share an intimate relationship with each of his children.”

What an amazing truth that we hope this song reminds you of!
