"Great is Your Faithfulness" by DJ Sm1th: An Old Hymn in a New CEDM-style Variation


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). 

DJ Sm1th - Great is Your FaithfulnessThe 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," remind us that God is always present in our lives. "Seasons may change but Your love stands unshaken" and "You're the same God through all generations // Forever faithful forever my guide," lines that acknowledge the unchanging nature of God's love across all generations.

May this modern variation on the classic hymn touch your heart with the timeless message that His love is also there for you. He is standing at the door of your life and waiting for you to invite Him in.

(Related scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23; Psalm 36:5; James 1:17)

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
