"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)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller: A Tender Tribute to a Loyal Friend

Beneath this gentle Americana-style song, "Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller, is the heartbreak of a seven-year-old boy. The day his grandson had to say goodbye to his dog, Tucker, he asked Stephen, "Will you write a song for Tucker? Can we pretend he's still around?" How can you not say "Yes" to such a request?  This song offers comfort by simply being honest. Instead of dramatizing the grief, the message sits with it and invites the listener to reflect as well. It's lines like "Sing the song to Tucker, sing to all dogs gone away" that remind us that precious memories endure. Have you ever asked yourself how to comfort a grieving child? I know that these situations often remind me that we're all searching for hope after more than one loss! On top of that, how can you extend that hope to a grieving child? Even in situations like the loss of a dear four-legged pet, there is a message of faith to be found: "Sing to God, the...
