Here is a familiar hymn with a modern twist. 'Down in the River to Pray' by Nevaeh is a beautiful rendition of the original song. For those who are unfamiliar with this song, the song is a gentle nudge to remind you that no matter how busy your day is, there's always a quiet place by 'the river' to pray, reflect, and reconnect with God.  The fact that this is a golden oldie doesn't mean that the message is no longer relevant, on the contrary, the message couldn't be more fitting for us today. This hymn, wrapped in the vocal harmony of Nevaeh, isn't just about going down to the river in a literal sense; it's about immersing ourselves in God's presence and seeking His guidance, no matter where we are.  And here's the kicker - the song is a reminder that nobody is walking this journey on their own. Although I've heard the original, and covers, many times, the part that stands out this time around is the repeated calls to sisters, brothers, m

As you lean in close, you'll hear something truly special in this live rendition of Taylor Pride's 'Treasure.' Here's a song that breaks bread with your spirit, an earnest plea desiring deeper intimacy with God - and chances are that this is what your heart is also seeking.  Imagine being taught by God Himself, as Taylor asks in his lyrics, 'Teach me your way, O Lord.' Like a piercing heart-to-heart, don't you think? Because don't we all long to know Him more and more?  Pride paints a vivid scene of gazing upon God's beauty, of longing for God - and that's His profound message, isn't it? The desire of the faithful, the treasure we seek, is nothing more than God Himself - His comfort, His safety, His abundance, even in dire times.  Throughout the ups and downs of life, His steadfast presence remains our constant, promising to never run away, even when our hearts hit rock bottom. And it's in those deepest valleys that, if we're sti

This song is a melodic embrace that feels like coming home after a long and challenging journey. The lyrics point to the stable and firm foundation that we have in God, and that is a huge contrast to the world we have that keeps shifting like sand beneath our feet.  Can you recall those days when just about everything feels too much? When life feels like a rollercoaster, where everything is rushing past you with a pace that is much faster and fiercer than you can handle? 'Strong and Steady' meets you right there. It grounds you with a gentle reminder that there are good things going on around you, more than what meets the eye. It's about realizing that you're standing on solid rock because God is holding on to you.  This song is a testament to God's unchanging nature. It reassures us that He's working everything out for our good.

John Gooch's song 'God Over All,' is a declaration of God's steadfast presence. Born out of personal challenges—single parenthood, and a child's disability—this song brings your heart closer to God, and reminds you that God has got you in His loving and caring arms. The lyrics remind you of those moments in your own life when you've seen God's power in action. Life has probably already thrown you a couple of curveballs, but are you able to recall those valleys you went through? 'In the valley You were with me all the way,' Gooch sings, and this isn't just Gooch's story — it's also yours. When the chorus hits, the message is clear: 'God over all.' He's there holding it all together, His love never quits, and His promises stand firm. When doubt start to cloud your tomorrow, then this is the kind of message that gives you extra support. Instead of worrying about what the future brings, you're encouraged to look further along

On occasion, you may feel like you're emotionally in a dark place and the outlook is quite hopeless. If that's where you're currently at, then Doug Deforest's 'I See Angels' is most likely a song for you. The song was born during a time of struggling with depression, and it literally came to Doug in the middle of the night, when everything seemed to fail. It isn't uncommon that when we're more or less at rock bottom, it's God's messages that come to us the loudest.  In "I See Angels," you could be hearing an echo of your own challenges. The lyrics not only describe what it's like to be engulfed in gloom; they also show that there is hope around you, even when you are not yet capable of seeing it. There are angels around us that point us towards God's love and remind us that we're never really alone.  The lyrics whispers a powerful truth: no matter how massive the waves are, there is always a hand that is reaching out to us i

Have you experienced moments when you felt such an overwhelming sense of God's love that you wished these moments could last forever? Mark & Sarah Tillman's live version of 'Sweet Surrender' is about that kind of moment. It started out as a simple prayer and grew into a powerful worship experience that reminds us what happens when we put God first in our lives.  You're invited into a moment where time seems to stand still, and it's just you and God. Picture being able to get rid of the idols that are taking over your life and the possibility of taking back the things that you blamed on our Creator. Mark and Sarah's song reflects how desperately we want to be pure and have strong faith, so we can grow closer to God and stay in His presence.  The song encourages us to worship, bow down, and give up every one of our own 'wants' in God's boundless love. It also sings about recognizing His 'fire inside' and allowing His love to untangle ou
