Have You Ever Heard the Good News' by Michelle: Sharing the Hope of Salvation


Michelle releases a new song called "Have You Ever Heard the Good News". The process of creating this song started back in October 2019, after dreaming about writing a salvation song. The song was put aside for years, until recently, when she felt that God was telling her that it was time. 

Michelle - Have You Ever Heard the Good NewsThe song has an incredible backstory: two dreams that realigned her music, to music with a divine message. Originally, Michelle was writing songs about her own experiences in the military, but God had other plans for her music. In a dream, she received three words: 'RADIO. PRECEDENCE. SALVATION.' She felt God was telling her to prioritize on sharing the good news of salvation on the radio.

In another dream, she heard the layout of this song, and it felt like God had given her instructions on how to put the song together. She heard the song with an orchestra of music, a female gospel choir, and herself singing, with a crowd of people singing in harmony. But the timing wasn't right. Years later, Michelle felt inspired to record this song, interrupting the work she was doing with her producer on another short album.

The song is about Jesus Christ dying for our sins so that if we believe in him we can have eternal life. The lyrics, 'Have you ever heard the good news? How God sent his only Son to die for you?', making this song a very personal invitation to experience the overwhelming love and grace of Jesus Christ. We know that that we are far from perfect and, despite that, God had a plan to save us. Michelle sings, 'Jesus Christ prophesied to be the King of the world, Jesus Christ crucified for the sins of the world,' the core foundation of our faith.

The chorus, 'Hallelujah, I believe in you,' is a great way to express the joy we have in our faith, a joy that we may also share with others, a message of hope that changes lives. Just like this song starts small, this message once started as a spark of hope in your heart, igniting a fire that continues to develop and grow, changing your life, and has the potential of bringing hope to people around you. Hope that continues to grow when you ask others, 'Have you heard the good news?'

Don't miss out on this blessing - give Michelle's 'Have You Ever Heard the Good News' a listen today.

"Joy of the Lord (444 Hz)" by Andy & Julie Frame: Eternal Reign and Righteous Love

What does it mean to truly experience joy — not the fleeting kind, but the kind that sustains you? Andy & Julie Frame answer that question beautifully in Joy of the Lord (444 Hz), a song that begins as an intimate Indie pop meditation and builds into full congregational worship. The song opens with a declaration: “The Lord our God shall reign forever.” Simple, powerful, and true. Our God is Truth, a righteous Judge, merciful, and full of love. If our God isn’t worth celebrating, then I don’t know what is! Ask yourself… What does His reign mean for you? Andy and Julie Frame sing: “He’s the God of Love” and “He gives sight so the blind can see // He sets all of the captives free.” And don’t forget, He has given us life! These aren’t just poetic lines! These are just a few of the many promises He has made to you and me! The chorus describes our response: “Praise to our God who’s given us life, the Joy of the Lord and His beautiful light,” and the bridge of the song declares: “Jesu...

"Vine" by Oludee: Fruitfulness Through Surrender

(by Jasper Tan) "Vine" by Oludee is a very beautiful, soulful song that talks about trust, surrender, and putting our Faith in God. What makes this song so beautiful is the musical choice that Oludee chose to produce with the given theme. It's easy listening and soulful, which can be a good song to listen to during our moments of devotion and personal worship with God. The opening lines of the song quickly establish the message that we can't just rely on ourselves in our day-to-day living, but it is important that we learn to recognize God in our lives. By putting our complete trust and faith in Him, we would be able to navigate life's challenges more easily, as we would be experiencing more stability. To know and understand that God is with us, we would not succumb to our hopelessness because we understand that God will always carry us during our times of need. Using Vine as a metaphor, it serves as a symbol of life, nourishment, and protection. This recurring re...
