Have you ever felt something that is so profound that you can't find the right words to describe it? How do you explain a love "that goes from east to west and runs as deep as it is wide" ? How do you describe something as simple as the flavor of a strawberry? That's the beautiful tension that Avery Stafford sings about in his cover of the song "Listen To Our Hearts."  "Listen To Our Hearts" is a classic praise and worship song written by Geoff Moore and Steven Curtis Chapman. Avery Stafford recorded it for his album "Undignified" in 2004, after discussing it with a friend following a worship concert. His friend was impressed by the jazz-influenced version of this beloved song and encouraged Avery to consider recording it. This recording features Tony Bolivar (saxophone). Until now, "Listen To Our Hearts" had never been released to radio.  The lyrics are about the moment when our words fall short, when even "a thousand year...

Derrick McDuffey & Kingdom Sound released a song called "Jesus, I love You". "Jesus, I love You," three simple words, but these words carry more weight than a lifetime of sermons. The original song was written by the late James Hamler in the mid-90s, and Derrick McDuffey & Kingdom Sound are breathing new life into it with this release. The words "Jesus, I love You" are a mantra that every Christian may feel deep in their heart. Can you feel it? Do you hear that quiet whisper in you saying, "Lord, I want to thank you" ? This song gives you the words for those moments in life when all other words fail.  "I cannot tell it all // All You've done for me" … How many times have you stood before God (in prayer) with tears in your eyes, and nothing you can say really expresses the gratitude that you feel? Just like the lyrics in this song, our prayers don't have to be poetic. God isn't waiting for beautiful words. He wants ...

Sandra Lamb released a song called "You Keep On Blessing Me". It is a song about filling your heart with gratitude and seeing the faithfulness of God in everything. The idea for this song came after reflecting on her seasons of waiting and fulfillment. Sandra reminds us that every blessing, no matter how ordinary or extraordinary, is a reminder of God's endless love for us, and it deserves a grateful heart. The song invites us to take a moment every day to acknowledge that "every time I seek Your face," God reveals a way forward, even when the life's path we're on seems very uncertain. "Lord I am singing for You keep blessing me," a chorus that encourages us to receive His blessings and guidance with gratitude. Sandra uses phrases like "Good Shepherd, guiding light" and "Mercies are ever new each day," to emphasize that our Heavenly Father is continuously showering us with His grace.  Have you ever stopped to consider ho...

"Emmanuel (God Is With Us)" by Arnex Imoebe reminds us that God is constantly present in our lives. Arnex delivers a message of hope and fearlessness with contemporary gospel influences. The first line of the song quotes Romans 8:31: "If God be for me, who can be against me?" It's the theme that runs through the entire song and encourages us to seriously think about our own faith and the strength it gives us. Arnex declares that we have a God who is always with us, no matter the circumstances, no matter how far we have drifted off His course for us, "He goes before us, and behind us, all around us." Whether it's "through the night, through the day, through the storms, and the rains,"  Arnex assures us that we're never alone. The chorus repeats, "Emmanuel, God is with me." The bridge elaborates on the courage and determination that God's presence gives us, "I'm not afraid… Nothing can stop me now." Arnex...

"Jesus Poured His Love Down on Me" by Armstead Ford is a heartfelt song that came to him in a dream. Ford's songs carry a powerful message of spiritual awakening and divine love. "I never had a thought in my mind about creating music, but this is a calling from God," says Ford. He adds, "This song came to me during a dream where I was sitting in my church, listening to the choir sing. When I woke up, I quickly recorded the initial lyrics I remembered, and the rest unfolded from there." Speaking about this song, Ford shares, "This song is about that powerful moment when Jesus poured His love down on me. It's a feeling I want others to experience too." You can hear this repeated, like a prayer, throughout the song: "Jesus poured His love down on me," inviting you to open your heart to God's endless care and feel the same awe and gratitude. The lyrics describe the spiritual awakening from the moment that Jesus' love ...

"Midnight to Victory (feat. Gilead) [Live]" by Kevin Downswell is a declaration of breakthrough, from the darkest night to God's victorious light. The genre is what Kevin calls a "cinematic gospel anthem with rich Caribbean percussion and modern worship vocals." This rendition of the song was recorded live at Bob Marley Tuff Gong Studio in Kingston, Jamaica, in front of a live audience.  The song starts with: "In the midnight hour, when the shadows fall // I hear You whisper, …" And what is God whispering? "I've conquered all." This is a victory song that shows us how God's victory becomes our victory… if we follow His lead! It's about walking the talk under His guidance.  He is with us, even in the toughest moments of life when the road feels too steep or the waves are crashing down on us, "You're my Shepherd, Lord, You never sleep." A Shepherd watching over us, driving us along His plan, "When the winds ar...

There are times in life when words fall short, when language isn't able to capture the depths of our cry for God. "Tongues of Fire" by Vel Colins was created in one of those moments. Alone in his prayer room, he asked God, "Lord, fill me afresh." What came next was not just inspiration; it was instruction. The lyrics are inspired by Acts 2:3, "Tongues of fire // Break me // Remold me," asking God to change us from the inside out, making way for the Holy Spirit to "ignite this place" and "have your way."   The power of the early Church, its boldness, the healing, and the miracles are still available to each of us through the Holy Spirit. The chorus shows us the steps to take, "We surrender, we want more," having a heart that is desperate for God to be present with each and every step we take. Having a relationship with God that is much more than receiving His blessings. Lines like "Fill me till I overflow // Fill u...

Phoebe Durojaiye's "I Need You Now" is a relatable warm hug for anyone who feels (or has felt) overwhelmed by life. Phoebe wrote this song when she was 15 — a teenager struggling with faith, uncertainty, and the weight of growing up. It's a personal song, more like a prayer set to music. She performed and recorded the song live at the Ageless One concert when she was 17, but it remained unreleased until now!  What makes this track special is its simplicity and sincerity. Lines like "I really can't do this anymore, I really can't do this by myself" reflect thoughts so many of us have, and at the same time we struggle to accept it and place our struggles in the Lord's hands. "Lord, I need You now," a cry paired with a plea for grace. When you look deep into a parents heart, isn't this the cry we all hope our children will repeat when they are struggling…  The bridge of the song slightly shifts the focus, offering more hope: "I ...

"Prepare Me" is a song for listeners who are ready to take their spiritual growth to the next level. Spiritual growth is not just about making resolutions, creating vision boards, or making plans—it's about getting into action right now, by surrendering your heart and life to God, and just trusting Him to shape you into the person He envisions. GRECA nicely sums this up, "Lord prepare me for the things I can be… when life gets real hard and I wanna give up." This transformation isn't something that we can accomplish on our own. It's a divine process where God is preparing us step-by-step, in His own time, by giving us strength, clarity, and purpose. It's a process where we develop a certain mindset so that when we face moments of doubt or weakness, we automatically lean on Him: "When you're weak, get on your knees—He'll give you the strength to overcome tragedy." This turns the song into a call to action, urging us to move beyond a...

Doyin Teru's live rendition of "More Than a Conqueror" is a powerful gospel song that declares God's unshakable love and provision. The song was recorded in Vienna with the J423 Community. Inspired by passages in Romans 8, reminding us that nothing—neither life, death, nor any power—can separate us from God's love. "Nothing will take Your Presence from my life" and "No one shall separate me from Your love" are  examples from the lyrics that are both a confession and also a celebration of the victory we all may experience through Christ. The inspiration for this song came to Bolaji Teru on December 10, 2022, when he woke up with a melody in his heart: "Nothing will take Your presence from my life; no one shall separate me from Your love." . A few months later, he was inspired to write the verse, drawing entirely from the Scriptures. The first verse is based on Romans 8:38, and the second verse comes from Romans 8:32, passages that emph...

Happy New Year everyone! We have a beautiful song to start this year! MELL's new single "Revelation 4:8" is obviously inspired by the vivid passage found in Revelation 4:8. This gospel song is centered around a passage that describes 'four living creatures' that have six wings, with eyes all around, and ceaselessly proclaiming, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." MELL beautifully captures this reverence and endless praise, and invites us to join along with the heavenly hosts in praising God. With lines like "We cry holy, holy, holy is our God," MELL leads us into worship. The chorus repeats some of God's names - Elyon, Elohim, Adonai - reminding us that there is none like Him. Revelation 8:4 is an invitation to feel and acknowledge the awe and majesty of God. May this song make you more aware of His presence in your life and encourage you to lift your voice in praise. Realize that our worship here ...

Evena L. Jerome's "The Roaring Sound" is a call to awaken. This powerful anthem calls us to embrace our spiritual authority and find our ROAR within God's Kingdom. With an impressive sound that beautifully matches the sounds of Jennifer Hudson and Tasha Cobb, Pastor Jerome's heart for empowering us can be heard in each lyric. The message is clear: rise confidently with unshakeable faith, proclaim God's greatness, and live boldly for Christ. The lyrics take us on a journey from despair to Godly empowerment. "Suddenly there was a sound from heaven, like the roar of a mighty rushing wind." This roaring sound is not just history, but a reality for each of us today. A roar that wants to fill hearts and souls, turn our pain and disappointment into powerful and relateable declarations of faith. May this beautiful song of hope remind you that your spiritual authority comes from God, and with Him, your voice can roar with divine strength and echo His greatne...

Natasha Cash's 'Blessed' is a song of praise, looking back at life's highs and lows, realizing that she is blessed with God's unconditional love and the joy that comes from living in His light. Natasha's love for music came from her mother. She would wake Natasha and her sister up every Saturday morning to clean the house, which wasn't much fun, but that changed when her mother added music. It quickly became a family tradition, and has become her love, her therapy, and her passion, expressing her gratitude and acknowledgment of being blessed. Natasha shares: 'I have loved music, singing, acting, and performing since I was a little girl. I grew up in a family filled with love, support, and appreciation for entertainment, but most importantly faith in God.'  She continues: 'The lyrics in this song were inspired by my desire to express my heart in a way that people from all walks of life could relate to. No matter what's going on in the world, w...

Chrystal released a song called 'Free'. It is about releasing the chains of our past mistakes and stepping into the hope and freedom that Christ offers us. Her own journey through pain and transformation is the red line through this song, and let me tell you… it is an amazing journey! Read Chrystal's story before you listen to the song, and I promise you, you'll appreciate the lyrics even more.  Chrystal's father passed away a few years ago, and she entered into an abusive relationship. This led to severe depression and anxiety. Her anxiety was so bad that when she tried to do everyday activities, she would start to shake all over. The only time she wouldn't shake was when she was singing. God took me through a healing process, and today she is the victorious woman that God created her to be. This song is her testimony to His restoring power. With this small insight into Chrystal's life, the lyrics you hear her sing carry so much more meaning, 'You came ...

Did you already have a chance to listen to 'Children of the Son' by Emmanuel Adeniran? It's a refreshing song, reminding us that through Jesus Christ we're not just passing through life's ups and downs on our own. The lyrics are a roadmap from feeling lost in the shadows to standing in the sunshine, fully aware and alive in God's grace.  You know those moments when life feels like a puzzle with pieces missing? This song tells us that in Jesus we find those missing pieces! I like this part of the lyrics, where it says, 'You're not just going through the motions. You're on a journey from death to life.' Going from spiritual death to spiritual life… that's pretty powerful, isn't it? The changes we face, the uncertainties we need to go through, they're all part of our transformation journey as we are skillfully molded into new creations in Christ, moving from despair to hope, and from defeat to victory.  The song is about freedom, peace, ...

ChoirBoi Cam's 'Replay' is an energetic song, performed with the fire of a preacher, and a musical witness to God's faithfulness, no matter the storm you're facing.  'Every time I turn around, God keeps making a way,' the chorus echoes with the sweet assurance that He's got your back - over and over again. Every beat of the song is a reminder of those close-call moments in your life; when the rent is due, when the cupboards are bare, your body aches, and the balance on your bank account gets awfully close to zero. When you're about to give up, He steps in and takes over your burdens. Things fall back into place, your needs are met, and you're dancing out of the struggle and into the celebration.  'Replay' isn't just Cam's story; it's ours. Cam sings about experiences that are very familiar to most listeners, and fills us with the hope that His grace will turn the tides in our favor. 'He made a way, that time. Did it again,...

Getting into the heart of Romana Grace's song 'Winner' is like finding an oasis in the middle of life's desert. Romana, whose family comes from the lively cultures of the Netherlands and Surinam in South America, writes a song with a positive message for anybody who has felt defeated or hopeless. You could say that 'Winner' is our story as well as Romana's. This is for all of us who have faced those days when the dim light of dawn seemed to be our only friend in a cycle of setbacks. Romana wrote the song during a period of heartache and feeling depressed. A time of questioning 'why' believers so often have to deal with these dark shadows. 'Winner' is a beautiful example of how surrendering to God's strength can change darkness into light, and a daunting challenge into glorious victory. Romana's urban and upbeat gospel sound reminds us that victory doesn't mean we don't have to fight; it means that we have our Savior on our sid...

Life brings suffering, and sometimes that seems too deep to bear alone. In these moments of deepest suffering, when all feels lost, we may ask ourselves how healing is possible. Yet there is One who is not bound by our earthly limitations – Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. The song “Just One Touch” reminds us that no matter the pain, or how deep the hole we find ourselves in, Jesus meets us where we are. All we need is one touch from Him to find healing, rekindle hope, and change lives. The woman who fought through crowds just to touch Jesus’ robe knew this. With just one touch, her bleeding stopped, and she was made whole. This song encourages us to first go to Jesus whenever we are facing challenges, just like this woman did. When doctors give up and families walk away, Jesus stays beside you. He is the rock on which we stand, the redeemer of our souls, the healer of our lives, and the shelter in every storm. His touch brings healing and power like nothing else. Even when storms su...

The song 'Let it be Known' by THEENNAMDI is a passionate call for unity, love, and worship. One night, eleven strangers from all over the country were brought together through the love of Jesus. The song features Gabi The Artist, Lenora D Sutton, Lavonne Jackson Wright, Christian Acker, Donovan Mitchell, Dusti Rose Bacon, The Shawskis, and Patrick Ayertey. They didn’t know what God had planned for them, but by His grace they created a powerful song of Love, Unity, and Worship that they knew had to share with the world. 'Let it be Known' emphasizes the key role that Jesus plays in our lives. The lyrics declare how we are all one in Him and that He is Lord. It also declares that without Jesus, our lives really don't have purpose; we would simply be aimlessly wandering souls. The lyrics reminds us that we are connected to Him and that this connection is eternal. There are two main parts in this song: 'Let it be seen, let it be known, That you are Lord' and ...

EJ is a visionary Gospel-pop artist who musically blends spiritual truths and human resilience. On February 8th, EJ unveiled the music video for his latest single, 'We Lift You Up.' This thoughtful, action-packed music video brings the heartfelt message to life of hope and resilience expressed in the song. The song talks about the tough problems we are facing in our society, like homelessness, mass shootings, and addiction in all kinds of forms. Instead of giving up, 'We Lift You Up' directs us to look for Jesus during these storms, knowing that He is the cure for sin, pain, and any injustice we may encounter. Despite the fact that things tend to go crazy from time to time, it's important to remember that God is always in charge and He is the only sure cure for the world's problems. The lyrics carry EJ's prayer for God's healing power, to combat any noise that attempts to drown out love. As believers, we unite, filled with His divine energy, to lift His ...
