Thonia's "You Remain": Praising the One that you can always count on

"You Remain" by Thonia is a special song. The idea for the song came as Thonia was meditating on the unwavering presence of God in our lives. She shares, "Creating 'You Remain" was a deeply spiritual and reflective experience." The central inspiration for the song lyrics is the image of Jesus walking on water, calm amidst chaos.  The song started as a melody, and together with her producer, they created a sound that combines modern Christian music with some folk and pop influences. Thonia shares that the lyrics came naturally, supported by moments of prayer and personal reflection. She poured her heart into writing a song that can inspire anyone looking for hope and resilience. The song clearly and beautifully shows that God is always there for us. Strong and reliable, especially when we are at our weakest. The lyrics express both vulnerability and strength and depict us holding onto God's hand through storms and winds. The chorus reassures us that, de...

"Great is Your Faithfulness" by DJ Sm1th: An Old Hymn in a New CEDM-style Variation

DJ Sm1th does it again, this time refitting the beloved old hymn "Great is Your Faithfulness" into a modern energetic track. DJ Sm1th was inspired to reimagine this hymn after realizing how deep and impactful the lyrics are, and knowing how the traditional genre can often fail to connect with the younger Christian generations. He modernized the sound and mixed it with a strong beat, creating a sound that today's generation enjoys (and he knows that the college men's group he mentors already loves it).  The main message of the original hymn is still the same: it celebrates God's constant faithfulness, His ever-present mercy, and His endless support for us. "Great is Your faithfulness O God my Father // There is no shadow of turning with You. // You never falter Your love never wavers // Faithful and constant in all that You do."   The song's lines, "Morning by morning Your mercies I see" and "All I have needed Your hand has provided,...

Grace Gonzalez's "Red Sea" – Faith and Miracles

Grace Gonzalez's debut single "Red Sea" is a refreshing message of steadfast faith and heavenly intervention while facing some of life's toughest challenges. The song was inspired by the story of Mozes' parting of the Red Sea. Grace uses this story to remind us that God is always at work, even when we can't see it.  In "Red Sea," it becomes clear how important it is to trust in God's timing and to never underestimate what He can do. Grace cleaverly brings the essence of the song back into the here and now, singing with conviction about moments when we feel desperate and our trials seem totally undoable, and still firmly believing that God's provision is always near. With lines like "the Red Sea will be parted, these loaves will multiply," she describes God's ability to make the impossible possible. That is the God who is ready to make the impossible possible in your life as well.  Created in Nashville and enriched with Grace...

James Bizak’s “Don’t Deserve (To Be Saved)”: Undeserved Grace

James Bizak kicks off 2025 with a new single, "Don't Deserve (To Be Saved)." The year 2024 was a successful year for James, and he continues to explore new creative horizons with Christian themes blended with pop/rap sounds.  The lyrics of "Don't Deserve" reflect a deep gratitude and awe for God's mercy and grace. James candidly admits that he has made mistakes as he sings, " I don't deserve to be saved from the choices I made," and he continues by acknowledging that God's love and forgiveness were always there: "You give me your mercy and grace."   James' message is very relatable, because we all have our moments when we are feeling very unworthy of His love. Thankfully, it doesn't matter where you've been or how deep you sank; God's love will always lift you higher... if you let Him.  It's true, we "Don't Deserve To Be Saved", and still He loves & purifies, and He already paid the price...

Darrell shares how these experiences made heaven more real to him and changed his look on life and eternity.  The lyrics look at the beauty and peace that is waiting for us in our eternal home.

Imagery that may even come very close to reflecting the peace and safety we will experience on that day when we may return home.

"Always Amazing" by Toni LaShaun: A Song About God's Faithfulness

Toni LaShaun's "Always Amazing" is about God's neverending protection and His faithfulness in the midst of every situation we face. The lyrics are inspired by Pastor Nash's sermons on the book of Daniel. Toni recalls two of the stories in Daniel about miraculous protection: the Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace and Daniel in the lion's den. These moments of God's miraculous intervention became the basis for this song, "Always Amazing."  In the lyrics, Toni sings of coming out of the fire without harm and resting untouched between lions; these vivid examples of God's protection show that God makes the impossible possible. The song is an energizing mix of praise and testimony, and encourages us to have unwavering faith in God and His ways. Toni also sings about the importance of standing firm in faith, regardless of what life is throwing at you.  "Always Amazing" is a musical celebration of God's countless miracles and a beautiful ...
