Aaron Holder's "Down to the River" is a song of gratitude and self-discovery. The genre of the song is a blend of rock and roll guitar licks that seamlessly mix with backwoods rhythms and bluesy pop lyrics. Aaron takes the listener on a spiritual walk through nature to see God's grace in action.  The song starts with a simple but symbolic declaration: "Down to the River to pray, I'm going down to the river to pray." It's a call to find peace and renewal through God's grace, and highlights the importance of prayer in our everyday lives. Within the imagery of towering oaks and the flowing river, Aaron shares that this is where he finds his purpose and counts his blessings every day.  While Aaron borrows so much in style and lyrics from the Great American Songbook, it may come as a surprise to some that he's actually an observant Jew. "My spirituality is deeply rooted in Judaism," says Aaron. "I'm from the Tribe of Levi and ...

KDMusic's rendition of "How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place (Psalm 84)" is a heartfelt refuge. Imagine being 15 and carrying the weight of caring for your disabled parents who were disabled in a road traffic accident. That's exactly what happened to Dave. His home wasn't a happy or safe place. His safe place was at church—a place of laughter, singing, and just being a child with friends and trusted leaders. Dave would often sing this song on the way to get the bus to school, and he would sense the Lord's hand on his shoulder when he sang it. Years later, Dave is gifted with a great voice and musical talent and decided to create a new version of this song, a version using the favorite Northern Irish melody "The Homes of Donegal." A tune about visiting friendly homes, and you can imagine that this is also a good fit for a Psalm about wanting to 'linger in the house of the Lord'.  Most listeners may already be familiar with the lyrics, lyrics that ...

"New" is a song that is inspired by Revelation 21, in particular verse 4. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes…"  - Revelation 21:4.  Yemi shares: "This verse has carried me through difficult seasons. Knowing that God will bring end to pain and sorrow gives me strength. My song 'New' reflects this promise  -  a time where there will be no more tears, only joy in His presence."   You'll love the inspiring imagery and uplifting message of the lyric video that goes in premiere later today. "New" speaks to the promise of a new heaven and a new earth, where all things are renewed and transformed. The song is a beautiful reminder that our current circumstances are temporary.  "New" is the first release from Yemi's upcoming EP called "YHWH", an EP filled with songs that call the church to hold fast to the hope of Christ.  May the lyrics of this song fill your heart with hope and remind you that God has a plan for ...

The Well Worship Collective's "Shades of Grace" beautifully describes our belief in God's unwavering mercy and grace, and our thankfulness that He is with us in every moment of our lives. The Well is a home church in Salt Lake City, Utah (USA). Their mission is to engage in the presence of God and lead others (across the earth) into God's presence through worship.  "Shades of Grace" focuses on God's constant presence and unending mercy. A message about God's promise to us, a promise that is so life-changing that it seems difficult to believe that it is already ours if we accept it. We're reminded that through every era, God's breath and hand have been (and still are) guiding and uplifting us. The lyrics acknowledge that in every miracle and every blessing, we actually see God's hand at work. The declaration in the refrain "God did it" serves as a reminder that through every trial, healing, and redemption, it is always God w...

Nina Grace's song "Overcome" is inspired by Exodus 14 and 15. The scripture recalls how Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea. You can imagine their initial fear as they were trapped between the Egyptians and sea. A fear that rapidly changed when they witnessed how the Lord delivered them by parting the Red Sea. After this experience, they declared, "The Lord is my salvation!"  What was true in the days of Moses remains true today. God is always faithful, even when our own faith wavers. When you realize that God is already present, waiting for you, this turns into a call for us to come into action. Just like Nina sings, we need to hold onto God during our broken moments. That's when His promises will renew us. The lyrics encourage us to stand strong and fearlessly proclaim that God is our salvation.  Nina's lyrics repeatedly remind us of His faithfulness: "When my faith is shaken, I'll hold fast to you" and "Lord, you've bee...

Chris Sarver's song "Send the Wind" grew out of a prayer that Chris knows many have prayed and continue to pray. He was worshipping in a still and quiet place, and his heart drifted to an old and familiar longing for revival. In Chris' backstory, he reflects on how we often pray for widespread renewals, like those we hear about in places like Africa or ancient Nineveh. At the same time, he challenges us to consider that the fire of revival must first ignite within us. Why would we pray for God to revive the multitudes before we pray that He would revive our own hearts? The lyrics beautifully capture this powerful paradigm shift. It's through lines like "Holy Spirit would you come make this space" and "Separate us from the love of anything we put in the way," that Chris reminds us that true revival starts with us, in our own hearts. We need to free ourselves from all distractions, whether sinful or seemingly innocent, that take up space in our...

Hekla Goodman’s latest song, “Yahweh,” from her EP “roots+”, is a beautiful declaration of faith, resilience, and spiritual grounding. The EP combines modern melodies with classic gospel vibes, creating an experience that feels both fresh and timeless. “Yahweh” celebrates that we are freed from the burdens of sin thanks to God’s endless grace. The lyrics are relatable and remind us that we are no longer strangers; our names can be found in God’s kingdom. Goodman triumphantly declares that all chains are broken, captives are freed, and shame is released merely at the sound of God’s name. God wants to be part of your life, and he already knows your everyday struggles and victories. He assures you that you too can stand firm, be freed from your shackles, and be filled with His love, all in His name. There is nothing that we can do to deserve this. Invite God to be part of your life, travel life’s journey together, fill your heart with praise, and glorify Him throughout the day. (Related s...
