"You Remain" by Thonia is a special song. The idea for the song came as Thonia was meditating on the unwavering presence of God in our lives. She shares, "Creating 'You Remain" was a deeply spiritual and reflective experience." The central inspiration for the song lyrics is the image of Jesus walking on water, calm amidst chaos.  The song started as a melody, and together with her producer, they created a sound that combines modern Christian music with some folk and pop influences. Thonia shares that the lyrics came naturally, supported by moments of prayer and personal reflection. She poured her heart into writing a song that can inspire anyone looking for hope and resilience. The song clearly and beautifully shows that God is always there for us. Strong and reliable, especially when we are at our weakest. The lyrics express both vulnerability and strength and depict us holding onto God's hand through storms and winds. The chorus reassures us that, de...

DJ Sm1th does it again, this time refitting the beloved old hymn "Great is Your Faithfulness" into a modern energetic track. DJ Sm1th was inspired to reimagine this hymn after realizing how deep and impactful the lyrics are, and knowing how the traditional genre can often fail to connect with the younger Christian generations. He modernized the sound and mixed it with a strong beat, creating a sound that today's generation enjoys (and he knows that the college men's group he mentors already loves it).  The main message of the original hymn is still the same: it celebrates God's constant faithfulness, His ever-present mercy, and His endless support for us. "Great is Your faithfulness O God my Father // There is no shadow of turning with You. // You never falter Your love never wavers // Faithful and constant in all that You do."   The song's lines, "Morning by morning Your mercies I see" and "All I have needed Your hand has provided,...

Grace Gonzalez's debut single "Red Sea" is a refreshing message of steadfast faith and heavenly intervention while facing some of life's toughest challenges. The song was inspired by the story of Mozes' parting of the Red Sea. Grace uses this story to remind us that God is always at work, even when we can't see it.  In "Red Sea," it becomes clear how important it is to trust in God's timing and to never underestimate what He can do. Grace cleaverly brings the essence of the song back into the here and now, singing with conviction about moments when we feel desperate and our trials seem totally undoable, and still firmly believing that God's provision is always near. With lines like "the Red Sea will be parted, these loaves will multiply," she describes God's ability to make the impossible possible. That is the God who is ready to make the impossible possible in your life as well.  Created in Nashville and enriched with Grace...

James Bizak kicks off 2025 with a new single, "Don't Deserve (To Be Saved)." The year 2024 was a successful year for James, and he continues to explore new creative horizons with Christian themes blended with pop/rap sounds.  The lyrics of "Don't Deserve" reflect a deep gratitude and awe for God's mercy and grace. James candidly admits that he has made mistakes as he sings, " I don't deserve to be saved from the choices I made," and he continues by acknowledging that God's love and forgiveness were always there: "You give me your mercy and grace."   James' message is very relatable, because we all have our moments when we are feeling very unworthy of His love. Thankfully, it doesn't matter where you've been or how deep you sank; God's love will always lift you higher... if you let Him.  It's true, we "Don't Deserve To Be Saved", and still He loves & purifies, and He already paid the price...

Darrell Vaughn's new single, "Heaven My Home," is a heartfelt song that was inspired by health battles and the loss of loved ones. Darrell shares how these experiences made heaven more real to him and changed his look on life and eternity.  The lyrics look at the beauty and peace that is waiting for us in our eternal home. Darrell describes what could be in paradise, such as rolling meadows, clear rivers, and endless blue skies. Imagery that may even come very close to reflecting the peace and safety we will experience on that day when we may return home. The chorus powerfully declares: "Heaven my home, it's where I belong // I'm pure and whole by the savior's grace // His glory shines, it lights me up inside // Praise the Lord, On my knees, on my face" . Yes, we may belong and be purified through His grace, and His promise of light and glory that fills us with joy and praise.  "Heaven My Home" is an uplifting song about facing life's c...

Toni LaShaun's "Always Amazing" is about God's neverending protection and His faithfulness in the midst of every situation we face. The lyrics are inspired by Pastor Nash's sermons on the book of Daniel. Toni recalls two of the stories in Daniel about miraculous protection: the Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace and Daniel in the lion's den. These moments of God's miraculous intervention became the basis for this song, "Always Amazing."  In the lyrics, Toni sings of coming out of the fire without harm and resting untouched between lions; these vivid examples of God's protection show that God makes the impossible possible. The song is an energizing mix of praise and testimony, and encourages us to have unwavering faith in God and His ways. Toni also sings about the importance of standing firm in faith, regardless of what life is throwing at you.  "Always Amazing" is a musical celebration of God's countless miracles and a beautiful ...

Remilekun released a beautiful song called "Who Is He?". It celebrates God's incredible strength and constant presence in our lives. The idea for the song came as a quiet dialogue with God during Remilekun's personal time of reflection. It comes from her desire for understanding and receiving God's direction.  The song was recorded live in The Netherlands, together with the Dream Team and the Sound of Gospel Choir. A powerful combination that resulted in an authentic and uplifting song.  The lyrics powerfully declare the sovereignty of God, and highlight how He can quiet our deepest fears, renew our strength, calm life's harshest storms, and shed light on our path.  This song invites you to lift your voice in worship, trust in His firm foundation, and find peace and safety in His name.  May "Who Is He?" be your reminder that it is in God's hands where you will find hope and your firm grounding, even when life's challenges feel so overwhelming...

"Forever Love" by The Rock Music & Steele Croswhite is a touching song from Jesus' point of view, expressing His love to us, His struggling children. With everything that the world is throwing at us, it's so easy to feel lost and get hurt. This song helps you to see beyond the chaos and see the love and commitment that Jesus has toward each of us, even if we think too imperfect to deserve it. The Lord is our Shepherd, who goes out of His way to find us. He is the Healer who binds and takes care of our wounds. He is the Guide who will lead us safely home.  The lyrics are as if Jesus is speaking directly to us, asking if we can see Him now and turn around to embrace His love. The song invites us to find joy and peace in His presence and reminds us of the promise He made to all of us… that nothing can separate us from His love.  May this song help you to better understand what it means to experience Jesus' faithful love—a promise of eternal safety and joy. May it...

In 'I Am Yours,' Ryan and Wendy Wegner sing about the process we all go through at some point in our lives of surrendering to God's will. Written while they were face to face with the harsh realities of life, this song is filled with hope and trust. As Ryan battled a neurological disorder and their family faced severe health challenges and loss, Ryan and Wendy were ready to give up on music, and they didn't think they would ever lead worship again. It is in this setting that the song 'I Am Yours,' a prayer of surrender, became an anchor.  The lyrics reflect a raw, heartfelt prayer to God: "I'm right where you want me—poured out and ready—I'm here to offer my heart completely." A declaration that despite all of the chaos that life is throwing at them, it is God who is in control and who they trust without hesitation.  The message and intent of this song is such a powerful encouragement to trust God, even when it feels like our lives are complete...

Austin Ludwig releases a touching and very personal song called "Wholeheartedly." After aging out of foster care, he found a much-needed sense of belonging and healing through community at a local church. Joining the worship team at 18, this triggered what Austin called his transformative season. During this time he began to write this song; his first original piece led in worship. Nearly a decade later, Austin revisited "Wholeheartedly," breathing new life into it for his sophomore album. The lyrics of "Wholeheartedly" capture the essence of true worship and the process of refining intentions and discovering authenticity in worship. Austin expresses a longing to worship God wholeheartedly, holding nothing back at all. He sings about avoiding the emptiness of mere routine and that it's better to focus on sincere devotion. The chorus emphasizes giving every part of ourselves to God as a total undivided offering.  May "Wholeheartedly" remind yo...

KellyMarie's latest ballad, "Don't Offend the Room," is a touching message to anyone who is fatherless and those who feel misunderstood or rejected. This song gives you an idea about the struggles of vulnerable children who, just as everyone else, long for love and acceptance.  The lyrics alternate between the harsh judgments that 'outsiders' can make and the innocent voices of children. KellyMarie included a children's choir in this recording to enhance this emotional contrast, and I must admit that this does sharpen the contrast even more for me.  "Don't Offend the Room" is an effective reminder that everyone deserves love, acceptance, and compassion. And when you think about this song, it also highlights the hope we may find in Christ. It's with lines like "Consider Jesus and His love for us" that KellyMarie encourages us to remember God's promises and urges us to embrace those who are suffering in silence. We are all ch...

Joshua's Giants and LUMINARY have outdone themselves with this remix of "We Can Burn Bright." We believe that everyone who can appreciate the Christian EDM genre is going to love this track. The fabulously energetic remix almost distracts you from the message and intent of the song, the fact that it celebrates the impact of sharing Christ's love. The lyrics for "We Can Burn Bright" are about living out God's mission. It reminds us that we're called to let Christ's light shine through us (in what we do and say), to grow in His love, and to help guide others back "home." There is so much power and love in God's name that there will always be enough. The hook is part of that call and, at the same time, a reminder of His promise to us: "We can burn bright in the light of the Savior, reaching new heights, in the love we were made for." This isn't about going from door to door to share His light. It's about what we do, h...

The album "whispering HOPE 6" by whispering HOPE is filled with songs of faith, healing, and spiritual intimacy. Created by lyricist and producer Gresha Schuilling and mastering engineer Shimron Fernando, this 8-track album feels like a conversation with God. Inspired by the teachings of Prophet Jerome Fernando, Gresha and Shimron have once again put their souls into this album, hoping to lead you into the presence of God through each of the songs. Let's briefly look at each of the 8 songs on this album: 1. Power to Cast Out This track is a powerful reminder that we already have the authority in Christ to cast out spiritual darkness. It is through His authority that we will find strength, victory, and freedom from fear. The song is a beautiful declaration of faith that emphasizes God’s continual presence and protection. It also encourages us to walk in the strength of the Holy Spirit. Relevant scriptures: Luke 10:19, Matthew 17:18, Mark 16:17 2. Under His Shadow Even th...

Jay Davids' latest song, "I Say Yes," is a great follow-up to his single, "Free Indeed." Jay shares an important message about God's grace. The song begins with raw confessions that may sound familiar to most of us, of feeling stained and unseen, bearing the weight of past mistakes, and deep feelings of shame. Jay skillfully uses the lyrics to arrive at a moment where Jesus is asking him, "Do you believe?" Jay's responds with "Yes," and is filled with a fire of faith. This song shows how powerful the word "Yes" can really be. One word that starts a heavenly process of transformation in us—where once there was dirt and grime, now there's peace and renewal. May this song remind you that no matter how broken you are, all it takes is to say "Yes" to God, and that will bring His healing presence into your life, turning your ashes into something beautiful, and fill you with hope. (Related scripture: Matthew 11:28...

"On That Glorious Day" by Cyber Chord is a ballad about the enduring power of love and our hope to be welcomed "home" and reunited one day with loved ones who have passed away. The song starts with so much warmth in the melody (such a professional sound), that it took a few moments before I realized its message. And it wasn't until I reviewed the details behind the song that I realized that the song is AI-generated. That fact doesn't change anything about the beautiful message of hope in the lyrics, but it may trigger some mixed feelings of loss when you realize how easy this cutting-edge technology is already able to replace some of our God-given human talents.  The lyrics tell the story of a loved one's passing and the grief that follows. It beautifully gives words to the bittersweet emotion of losing a loved one, and at the same time it offers a message of comfort, hope, and faith. As a Christian, I cherish this promise of a heavenly paradise, where t...

Tasha Layton's live version of "Praise" is a touching rendition of a song that topped the charts in 2024. The message in this song is so important that it cannot be overstated: "There are so many reasons to declare and praise God today! He deserves our continuous praise!" We're going to see this song back on her upcoming worship album that is releasing in March. The lyrics echo the message that no matter what situation we're in, God's love never wavers—never forgets, never abandons; we're never too broken for Him to heal. No matter how shaky life feels, He's holding it all together. Our praises aren't just a sound; it's an act that drowns out our enemies, and a shout that brings down walls, much like Jericho's fall. Tasha urges us to praise God through every moment because His love is relentless and His grace covers all our flaws. Even when life tests us, it's songs like this one that help to remind us that God's in contr...

"Friend of Sinners," the latest single from Red Letter Society and the final single prior to their next full-length album. The song is a beautifully soft and reflective piece that looks at the Friend who sees us as we are.  It's a moving song that invites us to ponder the profound love that Christ has for us. The lyrics remind us of our Savior, who humbly washed His disciples' feet, and sacrificed His body and blood so we could be freed from our sins.  The lyrics highlight His humility as well as the new covenant that He has given us. A covenant that is signed, sealed, and delivered through baptism and our promise to follow Him. We have a God that will break every stronghold and set us free, so that we may embrace the love and guidance that we will find in our holy Friend. Yes, our Lord is the friend of sinners.  In just over three and a half minutes, "Friend of Sinners" beautifully reminds us of Christ's grace, love, and profound sacrifice. It points us...

Jesse Bless's "Home to You" is a heartwarming and spirit-lifting song that touches on three themes: belonging, love, and spiritual discovery. Jesse is a single foster parent, and the inspiration for this song came during a weekend respite placement with a 10-year-old boy in foster care. The boy wanted to write a song about a child who runs away from home, and when he returns, he discovers that there are different people in his home.  The lyrics of this song tell the story of a child searching for a place to call home, a search that also mirrors our own search for refuge and belonging in Christ. The verses start with expressing loneliness and struggle, and the chorus is where hope is ignited. As the song continues, the voice of fear finally quiets as we discover what we're supposed to do. We just have to get "home to You" . "Home to You" is a call to action. We all in some way need to run away from parts of our lives and find our true Home. May you ...

"Renovate - Brandon Sharp Remix" is an upbeat & fun version of the song "Renovate" by Lorenzo O. Jackson. The lyrics are inspired by a prayer from Psalm 139:23–24, that alls us to align our thoughts and actions with God's will and ask God to shape us into His vision and use us to build His Kingdom.  The song came to life after Lorenzo felt prompted one day in 2022 while driving by a house that was being renovated. The Lord impressed upon his heart that renovation was what he needed in his life. He took out his phone and started singing the lyric, "I can't stay the same, Renovate me." The lyrics evolved, but the theme remained: "Here I am, Lord, Renovate me." More than 2 years later, he shared this with his old college friend Brandon Sharp, who shared a similar story, and they created a song that has you dancing and reflecting on how God can rebuild our hearts. Their collaboration proved to be a perfect fit, as they completed the son...

The Alma Rei worship community has released a new song called "Without You", a song with a chill indie pop vibe. It is one of the songs on their album Back to the Garden.  Without You reflects on how no matter where we go, God's presence is there. It touches the ups and downs of life, the coming and going, rising and falling, seeking and finding, living and dying, and understanding that in every moment of life, God is right there with us—as our eternal companion.  The members of Alma Rei beautifully express that this life would really be nothing without His love.  "Without You" is a worshipful meditation on a psalm that has continued to speak to followers of Jesus for thousands of years. May this song help you to remember that no matter where you go or what ever you face, you are never alone. Life truly gains purpose in His presence. If your journey in life feels lonely or without purpose, give this song an extra listen... and call out to Him. He's waiting t...

Frankeke's song "My Helper" is all about finding comfort in divine support. It beautifully blends gospel and contemporary styles of music. The lyrics are very relatable for anyone who's felt that life's challenges seriously weigh them down. When Frankeke sings, "I know I will overcome," you can hear that she is confident that God's got her back. That is the confidence that Frankeke hopes you too will find through this song, because knowing that God is watching over you gives you courage to keep going no matter what you encounter.  Frankeke's sings, "When life gives lemon, I will make a lemonade," and shows how God is working "with" us. God can turn everything for our good, and we need to nurture a mindset of trust, knowing that He is there for us and guiding us. He asks us to trust Him and keep moving forward, because that is when He "makes things better."   The key message in My Helper is a call to action. Frankek...

In Yair Levi's song "Blessed - 2025 version" we get to hear the beautiful addition of Citizen Way's vocal harmonies. This collaboration underscores the song's message of faithfulness, unity, and the blessings that we all may receive by standing in God's promises. In just six months, this song has gained so much popularity around the world that it is an example of how music can be used to spread God's message, bring people together, and help so many people to find hope in Christ.  The lyrics are about God's unchanging nature and His enduring promises to Israel (including the spiritual family of faith in Christ that we belong to). The song reminds us that He is the same through all generations. The theme of blessing runs through the entire song, echoing the biblical promise to bless those who bless Israel, extending God's favor to all corners of the world. The song describes God as a loving Father who guides His people with mercy and scatters darknes...

With "In Good Hands," Lea Holmes, a Minnesota-based worship pastor, takes us along in an honest prayer to a listening God. This song originally started as a prayer and is meant to pull us closer to God's loving heart. The song's theme is all about trusting in God's provision and guidance. Lea describes God's faithful care. How He, as our Good Shepherd, knows our needs, catches us when we fall, and shapes us lovingly so we can live a purposeful life.  Using relatable imagery, Lea compares God's care to a gardener's attention, nourishing us with His Living Water, and how a potter shapes us into His vision. Her lyrics show a deep trust in God, who turns our burdens we burried into gardens and brings life to the barren parts of our lives. Lea's favorite moment, between 3:27 and 4:15, beautifully underscores this. May "In Good Hands" help you to fully place your trust in God's hands, and allow Him to transform and nurture you through every...

"You're the Melody" by Wineskin in Smoke is a reminder of the theme that Christ plays all throughout the entire Bible. It highlights Christ's pivotal role from the beginnings in Genesis to Revelation's promise of His return, that He is the Savior of the world and has restored our relationship with the Father. It is Christ who took on our shame, replaced it with righteousness, and invites us to worship Him freely.  The lyrics take us through the fall of man, the sent Savior, His work on the cross, and our hope of redemption. Christ is the "thread in our song," as the chorus affectionately reminds us, keeping us both steady and singing along with all of creation to give Him glory. The song reflects His grace, urges us to follow Him, and eagerly wait for His return some day. May this song help you to keep feeling His rhythm in your heart every day, sing praises, and thank Him who made you and loved you as one of His sons and daughters. (Related scripture: ...

Cindy Clark's 'A Future Song' is a special song inspired by the book of Revelation. The lyrics for this song are the versus that will be sung in the future by different people, saints, and the elders in heaven, and these songs will be sung at the end of this age. She wrote it while preparing for her 2023 album. One summer morning, Cindy was on her porch reading the last chapter of the Bible. As she read, she began to hear a melody form in her mind. She went to her piano and began to play, creating a few sections from Revelation 4 and 5. But she was still missing the first verse. She prayed, and God led her to Revelation 15, revealing the "Song of Moses," where it said, "They held harps given them by God and sang the song of God's servant Moses and of the Lamb."   'A Future Song' is a song of praise, singing praises in awe of God's deeds and the justice of His ways. The pre-chorus emphasizes God's holiness and that the nations will wor...

D28 Band's new anthem, "BIG GOD," prepares you for an encounter with God. This inspiring song beautifully describes God's immense power and His relentless love.  The lyrics tell a story of God's might and care. From His commanding nature -  "You command the wind and seas"  - to His personal love for each us: "You're my shelter, where I hide."

Elijah Neeley and Jonathan NaThalang's released a beautiful CCM song called "Eden's In My Bones," a song that combines a touch of country with a bit of alternative rock. The intent of the song is to give hope to people who are going through hard times and to remind them of God's love, patience, and presence. The lyrics compare our search for refuge in God's love to that of Adam and Eve before the fall. The chorus, "You, Lord, you're my shelter," emphasizes that we don't have to bear our burdens alone. "I" changes to "we" when God is our safe haven. He wants to protect and support you and lead you away from brokenness. He doesn't want you to carry the weight of your pain on your own and will carry what you can't (if you let Him).  An fun fact: Elijah and Jonathan originally wrote the first version of the song in just an hour. A month later, they revisited and refined the second verse to make sure that the message o...

"A Thousand Voices" is a heartfelt journey by MONDO, who teamed up with Kitchie Nadal and Diego Mapa. They deliver a faith-boosting song in the industrial rock genre. Imagine the chaos of life-a storm of voices and thoughts dominating your thoughts-that leaves you feeling lost and exhausted. That's where the song begins-a place of struggles that is probably quite familiar to most of us. But the song doesn't end there; it's a song of hope-hope that we may all find in God's light! The lyrics plead for God's to be with us, and help us know that he can save our soul, even though it feels so broken, abused, and abandoned by life. As if the words of this prayer are placed on our lips: "May we find peace, although we're surrounded by the godless, and salvation in You, Lord."  The lyrics encourage us to turn away from lifeless comforts and find hope in a new beginning by seeking God's light. As Christians, we treasure the truth found in this song...

Jack Blair's latest song, "Jesus in the Corner Store," captures the struggle we all have of finding our way through life. Jack Blair made an indie pop jam that tells a story of youthful misjudgments and desperate searches for identity. Jack sings about a night full of bad decisions and then seeing Jesus amidst the chaos of a corner store. As he was going down the rabbit hole, it was Jesus that stopped him in his tracks. What a wake-up call! Jesus' words cut deep into the heart and all of our resistance, putting our feet back on the ground and asking why we're wasting our nights pretending to be someone else just to avoid loneliness.  This song is a powerful reminder to each of us. It's asking us to look in the mirror and honestly ask ourselves if we are chasing after the wrong things. Are we running blind, losing ourselves and our faith along the way?  Jack Blair's message to us is clear: we're never alone if we seek honestly Jesus' guidance. So, s...

Aaron Holder's "Down to the River" is a song of gratitude and self-discovery. The genre of the song is a blend of rock and roll guitar licks that seamlessly mix with backwoods rhythms and bluesy pop lyrics. Aaron takes the listener on a spiritual walk through nature to see God's grace in action.  The song starts with a simple but symbolic declaration: "Down to the River to pray, I'm going down to the river to pray." It's a call to find peace and renewal through God's grace, and highlights the importance of prayer in our everyday lives. Within the imagery of towering oaks and the flowing river, Aaron shares that this is where he finds his purpose and counts his blessings every day.  While Aaron borrows so much in style and lyrics from the Great American Songbook, it may come as a surprise to some that he's actually an observant Jew. "My spirituality is deeply rooted in Judaism," says Aaron. "I'm from the Tribe of Levi and ...

KDMusic's rendition of "How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place (Psalm 84)" is a heartfelt refuge. Imagine being 15 and carrying the weight of caring for your disabled parents who were disabled in a road traffic accident. That's exactly what happened to Dave. His home wasn't a happy or safe place. His safe place was at church—a place of laughter, singing, and just being a child with friends and trusted leaders. Dave would often sing this song on the way to get the bus to school, and he would sense the Lord's hand on his shoulder when he sang it. Years later, Dave is gifted with a great voice and musical talent and decided to create a new version of this song, a version using the favorite Northern Irish melody "The Homes of Donegal." A tune about visiting friendly homes, and you can imagine that this is also a good fit for a Psalm about wanting to 'linger in the house of the Lord'.  Most listeners may already be familiar with the lyrics, lyrics that ...

"New" is a song that is inspired by Revelation 21, in particular verse 4. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes…"  - Revelation 21:4.  Yemi shares: "This verse has carried me through difficult seasons. Knowing that God will bring end to pain and sorrow gives me strength. My song 'New' reflects this promise  -  a time where there will be no more tears, only joy in His presence."   You'll love the inspiring imagery and uplifting message of the lyric video that goes in premiere later today.
