Bethany Thompson's 'All We Want': A Glorious Anthem of Faith


Bethany Thompson's second single, 'All We Want,' comes from a prayer, and reminds us of God's immense power and presence. This song is so fitting for this Christmas day, as it sends a message of hope. Hope has a name, a name so powerful that demons tremble at His name… the name of our King - Jesus. 

Bethany Thompson - All We WantThe lyrics lead our hearts and focus back to the source of the ultimate gift to mankind, our Prince of Peace and Almighty King. All of creation bows in awe of His grace. His glory surrounds us, and in His presence we are healed and changed. The chorus reverently repeats, "All we want is You," declaring what hopefully is also your deepest desire, for God's presence in your life. He is the Hope that is ready to be part of your life if you just open your heart and invite Him in. 

The bridge is so beautiful and is filled with devotion, singing praise, and where every step is taken for Him. The lyrics echoe our commitment to live for Jesus by aligning our hearts and lives with His purpose. 

Bethany beautifully summarizes the true meaning of Christmas: seeking and finding our everything in our Lord and Savior - King Jesus. May this song also be your prayer and declaration and an encouragement to celebrate Him every day of your life.

(Related scripture: Psalm 96:9; Revelation 4:11; Philippians 3:8)

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
