Maria Segerholm released a fresh acoustic rendition of "One Child." The original song is by Mariah Carey and co-written with Marc Shaiman, a song that deeply touched Maria since she performed it at Christmas concerts with orchestra, choir, and children's choir in Jönköping, Sweden, back in 2016. Maria normally releases original works, and this year she decided to step outside her comfort zone and release an acoustic cover of a well-known song. She not only hopes that this rendition will be appreciated by fans new and old, but even more important, that this song will shift your focus to Jesus as the true reason for the season. The lyrics retell the story of Jesus's birth, from the angel's visit to Mary to her journey to Bethlehem and Jesus' humble birth in a manger. Each verse reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. The chorus emphasizes the key message of this story: "One child can change the world." Maria passionately shares this message of ho...

Have you ever wondered about the endless nature of God's love? Although we can't even begin to grasp the endless nature of it, Emily Lindquist's song "Endless" does manage to beautifully capture the feeling of awe that this gives us. The lyrics remind us that His works and wonders never cease. Emily's lyrics were written with the idea that we will always have reason to worship because God is infinite in nature!  The verses describe the inadequacy of words and melodies to fully capture God's boundless love for all creation. Emily reverently acknowledges His glory, beauty, marvel, and wonder and expresses, "With every breath I have my soul will sing," a hymn of praise, a heartfelt offering to our loving Creator.  The bridge rings with sacred echoes of "Holy, holy is the Lord" and "Worthy is Your name," emphasizing the eternal nature of our praise. God's love and mercy have no end and are ever-present.  May "Endless...

"Glory to God" by Shawn Thomas is a Christmas song with a message that can lift your spirits just, as the angels did on that night that Christ was born. The message of the song was inspired by the birth narrative that we can read in Luke 2:13–14. Shawn beautifully captures the feelings of celebration and reverence of that moment that changed everything for humanity.  The song takes us from the humble manger all the way to the cross, emphasizing the importance of God's incredible gift of grace. Feel reverence with lines like "In a stable wrapped in love's embrace, Heaven's gift - promise of grace," and share the joy of angels as they sing "Glory to God in the highest, Peace on earth, goodwill to men."  Beautiful lyrics that beautifully wrap up some of the highlights of Jesus' life, from celebrating His birth to His divine mission to His ultimate victory and gift to all people. Shawn's message is filled with faith and joy, and helps us fe...

Tania G has reimagined the well-known hymn "Amazing Grace," with success! This is a total makeover with a fresh modern sound that stays true to the core message of the song. This song is part of Tania's EP project that reimagines old hymns into fresh modern-day variations.  "Amazing Grace" is about the life-changing power of God's love, and Tania invites you to let His grace heal your brokenness. She sings about feeling fragile and the misconception that we're never quite good enough. "But from the moment I believed…," Tania sings, that is when everything changed.  God's grace healed Tania's breaking heart and put her life back on track: "From someone who's lost // To someone who's found." God's grace ensures we are never alone, even when we are facing dangers or fears. It is His amazing grace that will guide believers through life's storms and lead us to a better and brighter tomorrow.  May Tania's soulf...

Get ready to be deeply moved by D28 Band's latest song, "A Psalm of Praise." This song is a song that celebrates our faith and the redemption we may receive through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. A song about His gifts to us, not only very relevant for this time of the season, but even more important for every day of our lives.  In the spirit of this season, lean in and listen to how D28 Band unwraps the gifts that God has in store for each one of us. These gifts are so precious that it can sometimes be challenging to believe they are ours through His grace. Maybe that is why the band starts this song by reminding us that God never breaks His promises: "there's nothing that my God can't do." If you're anything like me, this message of hope and reassurance can't be repeated enough!  The chorus looks at the gift of joy and freedom that we may receive through the "blood of the Lamb." The melody is catchy, and the lyrics emphasize a li...

Lanre O. takes you on a very personal journey with his song "The Shore." He shares how he not only broke free from the chains of pornography by God's grace but also moved from shame and guilt to finding peace in Christ. The message is very relatable for anyone that is struggling with any form of addiction or is stuck in a cycle of sin.  In the lyrics, you can hear Lanre crying out for a change, a plea to be freed from those repetitive cycles that don't align with God's truth and His plan for our lives. Lanre speaks from his own experience and knows what it means to break free from all of the lies we keep telling ourselves and the people around us. But most important, Lanre is clear: no matter how far we've gone astray or how deep we think we have sunk, we all may find peace in Christ. The lyrics beautifully illustrate how we may shift from sinking in our doubts and fears to walking on water by keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.  There is safety and freedom to be...

This week we're blessed with a fresh take on the nativity story with the album "whispering HOPE 5", the latest release by whispering HOPE. This album takes us on a reflective journey through the nativity story, offering us insights from the perspectives of the Israelites, Mary, Joseph, the Angels, and the Shepherds. I'll briefly introduce each of the tracks, and I encourage you to check out the lyrics to really grasp the meaning and intent of each song. "The Coming Light" sets the tone by celebrating Jesus as the Light of the world. This song not only speaks of His arrival but also encourages us to find hope and peace through His presence, and let Him guide us throughout our lives, including our darkest moments. "Magnify" gives us a modern take on Mary’s Magnificat. The takeaway is to celebrate God's endless mercy and faithfulness, and it encourages us to praise God's name with gratitude and in recognition of everything He has done. The s...
