A praise and worship team turned in a soul-stirring cover of Phil Wickham’s “This is Our God.” This is a lovely cover of one of the most beloved and popular contemporary Christian songs. The video and the delightful performance deserve to be heard and watched multiple times.

Hymns will never be matched or bested. It’s simply not possible to do so, in my opinion. How could you ever come up with a better praise and worship tune than “How Great Thou Art,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” or “Victory in Jesus?” There’s an easy answer to that question: It cannot be done. Oh, and let’s not forget the most iconic and beloved hymn of all time, “Amazing Grace.”

While hymns are still far and away the best choice for songs regarding church services, contemporary Christian music is still a formidable genre. Plenty of incredibly talented Christian musicians use their gift for sound to bring glory and honor to His name. Arguably, the most prominent and most talented contemporary Christian artist today is Phil Wickham. His tunes are widely heard on Christian radio and in houses of worship.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one praise and worship team performed Phil’s classic hit song, “This is Our God.” It’s a dazzling rendition of the song about our awesome, loving and mighty God that many have come to know and love.

While the performances in the short clip are noteworthy, the beautifully written lyrics are why people know and love this song. The words wonderfully and accurately tell of God’s love, grace, mercy and faithfulness. But as good as those lyrics are, they still fall short of adequately 

describing something too great for words and human comprehension.

The Lord is better, more loving and faithful than we deserve. There is no reason for Him to offer His love and forgiveness to us freely, yet He does.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

Taken from Psalm 148:1 - "Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise Him in the heights above!" Terri Susan, Kids Faith Videos www.youtube.com/@BlessedTerri2024

THESE WORDS ARE FROM MY BOOK titled Creating Your Best Life Now and the song LOVE GRACE AND MERCY from my CD “For You"… Unforgiveness is like a blood clot that blocks your emotional arteries, stopping the healing energy from flowing into your injured soul. The heartfelt act of forgiveness is the medicine that relieves your emotional pain, which plagues your ability to be happy. After a deep hurt is inflicted upon someone, they never truly recover until they forgive. As soon as you clean the wound with the antiseptics of love, grace, and mercy, you will restore yourself to a healthy state of emotional well-being. THESE WORDS ARE FROM MY BOOK titled Creating Your Best Life Now and the song PEOPLE PLACES FRIENDS OF MINE from my CD “SIKYE”… One of the biggest mistakes you can make in life, is to think that you shouldn’t have any problems. Difficulties show us where we need to improve, and challenges reveal what we should change. The difference between a problem and an opportunity for self-improvement is your attitude toward it.

“Life School” began for me when I was ten years old. It was a day like any other day. I woke up, had breakfast, and got ready for the fourth grade. My mom made my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and put it in my lunchbox, while my dog Sam barked at me to take him for his morning walk. I remember telling my dad how excited I was that he’d be coming to my little league baseball game when he got home from work. I had gotten so much better since my opening game, when he watched me nervously step up to the plate, swing, and strike out! I looked forward to showing him how his practicing with me had helped me become a better baseball player. He grabbed his briefcase, kissed his wife and six kids goodbye, and went off to work. At around four o’clock the same day, I watched my mother answer the phone and begin to cry hysterically. With a look of pain and disbelief on her face, she said, “Daddy got in an accident. I have to go to the hospital. Please go outside and play with your friends.” When my mom got home, she took us all into the family room, and nervously prepared to tell us something. With life-changing grief pouring from her face, she said, “Daddy won’t be coming home anymore.” My father fell from a twelve-story parking garage building while walking to his car to return home to be with his family. No one will ever know, for sure, why and how it happened. It was a tragic accident, a life-changing mistake, which cost me and my dad the life we were meant to have together. I never got to say goodbye or show him my winning swing. As tears fell from my eyes, I began the childlike process of absorbing the impact of his fall. Later, as I stared into the bathroom mirror already fogged with my tears of pain, I cried out to God, “How could You have allowed this to happen to my dad? Why? Why! Why?” While crying myself to sleep that night, I hoped and prayed that when I woke up, it all would have been a dream. “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love.” — Washington Irving. Over fifty years have gone by since that life-changing day. Growing up without a father was not my choice, but how I handled it was!At a young and innocent age, I learned that unexpected pain and losses are a part of this great adventure called “My Life.” There are some things in life we can control, and many other situations we can’t. Life never turns out exactly how we imagined it would. That is when love, gratitude, forgiveness and a positive mental attitude make all the difference in your world. Life is not an event; it’s a day-to-day process.

THESE WORDS ARE FROM MY BOOK titled Creating Your Best Life Now and the song SOMETHING BETTER from my CD “JESUS PAID THE PRICE.” Bad things will occasionally happen to us. Just turn on the television, computer, or cell phone and see the next tragedy or hear about the awful things happening in the world. We are mentally and emotionally bombarded with outside influences such as family, friends, the internet, politics, social media, our jobs, the news, and countless other streams of influence. We fill our lives with stress-creating tasks, meetings, commitments, and deadlines. Stand guard at the door of your heart, mind, and soul, and don't let anything in that isn't for your highest good. Watch carefully what you allow to enter into your inner self; mentally and emotionally. Your diet is more than the food you eat. It also includes what you watch, listen to, read, and the people you associate with. Take responsibility for what you feed your soul, and don't let the spiritually and emotionally starving people, feed it for you!

THESE WORDS ARE FROM MY BOOK "Creating Your Best Life Now." One of the biggest mistakes you can make in life, is to think that you shouldn’t have any problems. Difficulties show us where we need to improve, and challenges reveal what we should change. The difference between a problem and an opportunity for self-improvement is your attitude toward it. Some of your most significant self-development will occur when facing a difficult challenge that motivates you into becoming a wiser, healthier, and better person. A person cannot be perfected without trials. A jewel can’t be polished without friction. When you long for a life without difficulties, remember that the mighty oak grows stronger in powerful winds, and precious diamonds are made under extreme pressure. The poor too often don't have enough food to help feed the hungry. The sick and poor in spirit, don't have the wellness to help others be healthy. So take care of yourself first, so you are able to help the weak become more powerful. We are all in the process of recovering from something. Be the master of your fate and not the victim of your past. Don’t allow your losses to become your bosses, your difficulties to become your identity, your failures to become what ails you, and your tragedies to become your personality. You can’t start a new chapter in life as long as you keep re-reading the same pages. Old keys will never unlock new doors. Use what you have learned from your history, to write yourself a new autobiography.

We all need him.

Be ye healed in the name of Jesus

Where do all the good people go?

Genavieve Linkowski turned in a chilling cover of the popular and beloved song “All Hail King Jesus.” What an absolutely breathtaking rendition of this song. This is a clip that you will want to watch and listen to repeatedly.

Musicians singing and performing songs originally written and sung by someone else is a practice that has been going on for quite some time. Likely, it’s been happening in some form since humans started making sounds. There are even entire bands that are solely dedicated to performing the songs of others.

Covers are something that has been going on for a while, and they aren’t going to be disappearing any time soon. Thanks to the pervasive nature and the explosion of social media platforms, covers are arguably more popular now than ever. Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, Instagram and TikTok are littered with videos of musicians covering others’ tunes.

In a clip posted on Instagram, contemporary Christian singer and former American Idol contestant Genavieve Linkowski performs “All Hail King Jesus.” The young woman fully displayed her immense musical talent in the short video. Her beautiful voice expertly belts out those lovely lyrics about the love and mighty power of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

The beloved praise and worship song may have a simple chorus, but it’s still incredibly powerful and contains much truth.

“All hail King Jesus

All hail the Lord of Heaven and Earth

All hail King Jesus

All hall the Savior of the world”

Genavieve routinely puts out short clips featuring herself performing a classic hymn or a popular contemporary Christian hit. But this one of her singing “All Hail King Jesus,” has to be one of her best. Not only does she sound terrific, showing off her lovely voice, but she does it easily, making it appear effortless.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

With their inspiring cover of ‘He Brought Me Out,’ Dan and Amanda created a beautiful moment of worship as sunlight poured through the windows, casting a gentle glow across their music room. Seated together, Dan at the piano and Amanda with her guitar, the couple transformed their home into a space of reverence and gratitude.

The song ‘He Brought Me Out’ is an old hymn written in 1898 by Henry J Zelly. It is a timeless, beautiful song that draws people into worship with its words. Hymns like these are often rooted in personal stories of faith, loss, hope, and redemption. They carry a richness to the song that modern music sometimes lacks. They remind us of the enduring truths of the Gospel and why we follow the Lord. That’s what I love about Amanda and Dan. They take old hymns and breathe new life into them. 

Sitting close together, the couple began to play with Dan’s fingers moving gently over the piano keys. His voice was filled with sincere gratitude as he sang alongside his wife. Amanda strummed the guitar and soon joined in, adding more depth to the music with her voice. When their voices met, they both carried a harmony that was full of thankfulness and strength. 

‘He brought me out of the miry clay,

He set my feet on the Rock to stay;

He puts a song in my soul today,

A song of praise, hallelujah!’

As they moved to the end of the song, Dan and Amanda’s voices rose together as if they were lifting up the Gospel message and serving it to the hearts of those who would listen to their music as they sang, “He puts a song in my soul today. A song of praise, hallelujah.” 

When the last of the notes faded they both smiled at each other as if they both knew they had worshipped the Lord through the song to the best of their abilities. Talk about a job well down! We hope you enjoyed this song as much as Dan and Amanda loved performing it. 

Lamentations 3:22-23  “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Two people delivered an emotional and heartfelt duet cover of the beloved hymn “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.” This particular cover of this familiar tune is one that you’ll want to listen to repeatedly. It will touch your heart and likely even move you to tears.

Hymns are lovely and beautiful pieces of praise and worship music that honor and glorify our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sadly, people and many houses of worship have moved away from hymns. Instead, churches have opted to fill the praise and worship portion of their Sunday morning services with contemporary Christian songs.

That genre of music is excellent, and there are some genuinely talented and fantastic contemporary Christian music artists. However, no contemporary Christian song will ever top a hymn. Sure, hymns are old—hundreds of years in some cases—but they are still as powerful, moving and relevant today as when they were first written.

Suppose you’re looking for evidence of hymns' continued relevance and power. In that case, this clip posted on YouTube provides plenty. Gary Talley and his mother, Nita Talley, perform “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.” Gary plays the guitar and joins with his mother as they sing about the power of Christ’s blood spilled on the cross for sinners together. 

“What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can make me whole again?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus”

In the first verse—four short and succinct lines—that hymn summarizes the Gospel and Jesus Christ’s entire reason for coming to Earth and dying on the cross. He came to rescue sinners and offer hope, love and forgiveness. The only way forgiveness can be obtained is through repentance and confession of sin, which was made possible through His death and resurrection.  

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Listen to Anne Wilson's "Red Flag."

Listen to Riley Clemmons' "All Is Well."

Listen to Tauren Well's "Making Room."

“Y’all, my mama raised me on two things. All things God and all things country,” Anne said as she started strumming the first few notes of her new hit song. You don’t want to miss Anne Wilson as she wows with her song God & Country live performance. With a powerful voice and tender heart, Anne not only entertains but inspires us to be proud of our country roots.

‘Mama put a Bible in my hands

And daddy put my hands in the dirt

I grew up in the heart of the heartland

With a vintage Johnny Cash on my shirt’

Her song doesn’t just have a good beat, and the lyrics hit home for most people. We were raised by God-fearing mothers, hard-working fathers, and grandparents who filled in the gaps and put down deep roots. It was the same for Anne. 

You can’t help but smile and feel as though she is singing about you. The way you were raised on the Good Book, going to church on Sundays and how it feels to drive down dirt roads in your old car with a humble heart that loves everything about small towns, country life, and Jesus. 

Anne didn’t know she was called to be a singer for the Lord until she was in her late teens after her brother passed away in a tragic accident. While she was searching for direction in her musical career, she went back to her roots and realized she wanted to write country gospel songs that resonated with people. 

She said, “So, then I started to realize, once I released those songs, that people were messaging me, saying, ‘Hey, we’re not Christians, but we love the sound of your music cause it’s country. So, we listen to your music, and it’s led us to Jesus.’”

Her heartfelt, upbeat performance, the down-to-your-roots lyrics, and Anne’s incredible voice will have you replaying this song over and over. It’s a stunning example of how faith and music can unite people and point them to the cross. Anne’s message is spot on: we are all made by God, for God, and with a purpose deeply rooted in His love. 

Proverbs 22:6 "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."

Listen to Passion's "He Who Is To Come."

Listen to Bryan & Katie Torwalt's "Thank God I'm Free."

Listen to Me'Kayla's "Give Me You."

A handful of truly talented musicians turned in a powerful, soul-stirring cover of the popular tune “I Speak Jesus.” You’ll want to watch and listen to this moving performance repeatedly. It is simply outstanding.

Musical covers are a timeless tradition, likely dating as far back as sound and music itself. Musicians performing songs previously written, recorded and sung by others is a practice that will continue long into the future. It’s something that every single musician and band does at one time or another.

Even the biggest bands in the world will occasionally play someone else’s tune. Who doesn’t want to hear a different take on a popular and beloved song now and then? Who knows, a cover version may even be better than the original. It’s a rare occurrence, but it does happen from time to time.

Contemporary Christian music is a genre full of covers. One of the tunes that is a popular target for the cover treatment is “I Speak Jesus.” It’s an incredibly powerful and moving song, with lyrics that speak to the power of the name of Jesus. There is nothing that He cannot do, heal or defeat, which the song’s beautifully written lyrics make abundantly clear.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a handful of musicians performed the familiar but beloved tune about the mighty name of Jesus Christ. No matter how often you hear the song, those lyrics will likely always cause you to become emotional.

“I just wanna speak the name of Jesus

‘Til every dark addiction starts to break

Declaring there is hope, and there is freedom

I speak Jesus”

Jesus Christ is the end-all, be-all. Whatever we encounter in this life, there is nothing greater or more powerful than Him. He is still fully capable of changing lives, dramatically alerting situations and performing miracles.

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.”
