"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)

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...
