"He has done great things (Bethel Music Cover)" by Emmanuel Songsore: Celebrating Jesus’ Sacrifice Through Music


Emmanuel Songsore has released a new instrumental cover, and this time it is an instrumental version of the song "He Has Done Great Things" by Bethel Music. The original was released by Bethel Music on December 6th, 2024, and a live version was released on Bethel's album, "We Must Respond," on January 10th, 2025. Have you heard it yet? 

Emmanuel Songsore - He has done great things (Bethel Music Cover)This song is so new that you may not have heard the original yet. "He Has Done Great Things" is a beautiful depiction of the gospel and the sacrifice of Jesus. The lyrics are inspired by Psalm 103, passages that remind us of the gift we all may receive of God's everlasting love, mercy, and forgiveness. The lyrics in Bethel's original use imagery of the crucified Lamb and rivers of grace, reminding us of the forgiveness we receive through His blood and declaring Him worthy of all praise for removing our sin and opening the door so we may be with Him. 

The following passage in Psalm 103 came to mind as I read the original lyrics: "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." - Psalm 103:11-12

As far as we can tell, Emmanuel is the first to release an instrumental version of the song, and what a beautiful job he has done! The piano in Emmanuel's rendition has a much richer sound than the original, and his attention to detail and emotion makes this a great track to play during your quiet time and other moments/occassions where no words are needed. Enjoy!

(Related scripture: Psalm 103:11-12; Ephesians 1:7; John 3:16)

"I'm Still Going to Praise You" by Die Taube: Choosing Praise in the Waiting

Can worship survive a season without answers?  Some seasons don’t resolve on schedule. “I’m Still Going to Praise You” by Die Taube ( ‘the dove’ ) was born from one of those seasons — infertility sitting alongside a father’s cancer diagnosis, disappointment stacking on disappointment. The song is part of an upcoming album, Pilgrimage, releasing one song per month until December. The album is a crossing, not a recovery, not getting back to who one was but coming through changed. The opening line of the song sets the whole tone: “Thank You has no seasons, worship does not wait.” God’s worthiness does not depend on our circumstances. Even when circumstances stay unresolved, we decide to look beyond our circumstances to praise and worship Him.  Notice what the second verse admits. “When I feel like I’ve got nothing and other times so much”  — our praises aren’t conditional on constant victory. The song is honest about fluctuating faith, and pairs it with a steady choice underneat...

"I Need God" by Richard Baś: Because Nothing Else Really Satisfies

Have you ever chased what you thought was peace and come up empty?  “I Need God” by Richard Baś is a song for people who keep searching and never find enough. Richard wanted a Christian song with energy and edge — something that causes listeners to experience certain emotions that are regularly not in the Christian genre. The song opens with restlessness: “These days I’m running from my own shadow,” he sings, “trying to find a peace of mind.” He tries love. He tries drugs. He tries more. Nothing changes. That’s the trap that so many of us already know. We chase one thing, then another, hoping the next thing will finally be enough… But it never really is.  There is a shift in the song. “Jesus has set me free and I, I am free now,” Richard declares. The running stops. The striving stops. Richard names it clearly: “Yeah I need God.”   The song echoes the same message that we read in Psalm 42:1–2: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My so...

"There Was Jesus" by Zach Williams and Dolly Parton: Finding Him in the Wreckage

Even in loss, Jesus was already there.  Dolly Parton passed away on August 25, 2026, at age 80, after a brief battle with cancer, surrounded by family in Nashville. For seven decades she sang about faith, poverty, grace, and home — and one of her earlier duets (with Zach Williams) carries a message that fits her passing perfectly. In “There Was Jesus,” Dolly Parton and Zach Williams trade verses about the moments we miss Him most: “Every time I tried to make it on my own // Every time I tried to stand and start to fall.” Life doesn’t wait for permission before it crashes down. “When the life I built came crashing to the ground // When the friends I had were nowhere to be found”  — that’s grief. That’s a hospital room, a phone call you dreaded, a silence where a voice used to be. That’s seeing great people passing away. Where was God in it? “I couldn’t see it then but I can see it now,” the song answers. “There was Jesus.”   Psalm 34:18 says it plainly: “The Lord is near to t...
