Praise & Worship

Listen to the beautiful song ‘Come Thou Fount (I Will Sing)’ performed by Chris Tomlin and be reminded today of all the blessings that God gives us.

“Come thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace, streams of mercy
Never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise, teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above, praise the mount I'm fixed upon it, 
Mount of Thy redeeming love, here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by Thy help I'm come”

Hymns like ‘Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing’ have withstood the test of time. It was written back in 1758, but church congregations still sing out these lyrics today. 

As the hymn says, Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God. Jesus came to us while we were still sinners, not after we had cleaned ourselves up and gotten our acts together. He came right into the middle of our wandering.

The message of the song still resonates with believers, and Chris Tomlin’s rendition continues to remind us that God is by our side. His love and mercy reign down on us each and every day, and what a blessing that is! I am forever grateful that Christ pursued me and poured out His grace upon me, and songs like this are great reminders of that.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to Chris Tomlin’s version of ‘Come Thou Fount (I Will Sing)’ today and the song was able to bring you some encouragement. Let us use these words to sing of His many wonders and unconditional love.

Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Listen to this beautiful performance from Anna Golden with Aodhan King of the song ‘Because Of You.’

“From the moment I rise til I lay my head, You are on my mind, You are the best part
Of every breath, I will spend my life talking about Your faithfulness, because of You
I see a new horizon. Because of You all my fears go quiet, I know You hold the whole world
In Your hands, and this life is worthwhile all because of You. You’re the color in every sunrise”

The song ‘Because Of You’ is the second single from Anna Golden’s new live album titled Church, which is coming out this month. The record has 11 tracks on it, and the songs give a testimony to the power of faith and how Anna Golden refuses to let painful experiences define her life. 

In this song, she is joined by Hillsong Worship's Aodhan King. And the lyrics in ‘Because Of You’ encourage listeners who are hurting to reframe their perspective on life, let go of their fears, and find joy in the small things.

“‘Because Of You' is a song written about how beautiful a life with Jesus is. A love song that captures just how stunning your every day is because of the faithfulness, kindness, and consistency of who He is. A reminder that even though life holds such uncertainty, He still gives us hope for a new horizon and peace in the midst of chaos," Anna Golden shared. "This song pulls inspiration from the old hymn 'Because He Lives,' a modern take on the beautiful message, 'Life is worth the living, just because He lives.’” 

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Because Of You’ from Anna Golden and featuring Aodhan King today! And may it remind you of the beauty of life with Jesus by your side.

Listen to this wonderful duet by two sisters singing the song ‘Homecoming’ by Carl Jackson.

“There'll be a homecoming some morning when Jesus calls us away, I'll see mother and daddy
Lord I am ready for Heaven's homecoming day, precious ones have gone on before
Our Lord waits for no man, salvation will gain us a ticket to see them and a place
In God's final plan, there'll be a homecoming some morning when Jesus calls us away”

Wow! These two sisters, named Sarah and Savannah, are so talented, and their voices and harmonies are incredible. They are known as The Church Sisters, and they grew up in Southwest Virginia. The two began singing publicly after winning a singing competition in 2007, and at just 12 years old, The Church Sisters released their first gospel album titled Farther Along. 

“Sarah and Savannah Church sing this lovely song Carl wrote about seeing all our loved ones by and by. Just remember, friends – we will meet again and walk hand in hand on that golden shore. It will, indeed, be a homecoming,” reads the caption of this YouTube video.

‘Homecoming’ is such a special song, and it is wonderful to hear these talented young women sing it. Many people online thought the same thing.

“Wow, those voices….just beautiful. And the music is just wonderful,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“Oh how this song ministers to my heart,” writes another person online. “The Apostle Paul said for him to live is Christ, but to die is gain. His feet were still on this ground but his heart was already on high with the Lord. This song makes me homesick for Heaven. Thank you, Carl, for writing it and to the Church sisters for singing it with such conviction.”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘Homecoming’ from The Church Sisters today!

Check out this wonderful performance of Lauren Daigle’s ‘You Say’ by viral vocalist Angelina Jordan.

“I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough, every single lie that tells me
I will never measure up. Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know. You say I am loved
When I can't feel a thing, You say I am strong when I think I am weak, and you say I am held”

What an incredible voice Angelina has! And her emotions can really be felt when she is performing this song.

“Nothing has ever quite moved me quite as much as this young lady when she sings. I hang on to her every word. Angelina is truly fantastic,” writes one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“What a gift she has! Astounding! I first heard her on AGT. Much younger but just as good. She blew the socks off of everyone, including Simon! The judges were visibly captivated! Love this humble, beautifully talented young woman!” comments another person online.

Angelina Jordan was born and raised in Oslo, Norway, and her incredible voice has been heard all over the world. Angelina’s videos have received over several billion views on YouTube and more than 4 billion views on Facebook. 

At just the age of seven, Angelina auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent, performing Billie Holiday’s ‘Gloomy Sunday,’ and she won the competition with the show, drawing record TV audiences.

Throughout her rising career, Angelina has been featured in prominent media outlets, including TIME, CNN, BBC, and People, while also performing on network TV shows Little Big Shots and The View.

We hope that you enjoyed this great performance from Angelina Jordan of the song ‘You Say’ today!

Healer is a song for everyone. Anyone going through sickness, diseases, depression, mental illness, heart break etc. God can heal you. God loves you and wants the best for you. God believes in you even if you might not believe in him.

Listen to this live performance of the song ‘By The Grace of God’ by Katy Nichole.

“Never thought that I’d find savin’ in a place where I once was shakin’ 
Never thought you’d take my broken and make it whole again, to some scars, yeah
I’ve been through it, the consequence of my own doin’, never thought that you could use it
To lift your holy name, and I’ll never be the same, by the grace of God I’m not a captive”

What a great song that is part of Katy Nichole’s debut album titled Jesus Changed My Life. Inspired by challenges and victories, the twenty-two-year-old singer, songwriter, and worship leader out of Arizona put together a 11-track album that features a nice blend of upbeat, uplifting anthems and more soulful, reflective songs.

“Through some of the toughest battles I’ve faced in my life, I’ve held onto Jesus and music. I’ve always felt like the Lord would bring me the right song in the right moment. I’ve had songs that brought healing in my darkest moments and made me feel less alone. 

I’ve seen the impact that music can have in my own life, and I hope my songs will do the same for you,” Katy says of her new album. “I am beyond excited to dig deeper into my story and share even more of my heart with you. I pray that these songs will bring you comfort and hope.”

In ‘By The Grace of God,’ you can really hear how Katy Nichole shares her story of how God completely changed her life. She uses her music to glorify Him and share her testimony, and it is a beautiful thing to witness.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘By The Grace of God’ by Katy Nichole today!

Listen to ‘Only One Worthy’ by Jesus Culture and Christ Quilala in this beautiful live worship video. I love being saturated in the Lord’s presence. 

Most often, I find him in the midst of worship. It doesn’t matter if I’m at home, in the office, or in my car. There is something about calling upon the Lord in worship that refreshes the soul. Today’s worship video is no exception. Chris’ voice, accompanied by the Jesus Culture band, plunges us into the glorious depths of praising God. 

“The first chords and words of the song capture your heart and posture it to sing just Christ is worthy. 
Behold the risen Son of God, Who's face outshines a thousand suns.
With righteousness, He reigns in majesty a hundred years are not enough.
To scratch the surface of His love. Thank God we have eternity to sing.”

If God’s love were an ocean, we would know no bounds. His unconditional love is so deep for us it’s incomprehensible to us. The very idea of his love makes me hunger to get to know him more. I wonder if I will spend a lifetime unraveling all the facets of our mighty heavenly father. 

God alone is worthy of all our praise because he is our Creator and Savior. We owe every breath to the One who has made us, and we have a new life, purchased by the blood of Christ because he gave his life for our own.

If you need a refreshing moment with God today, let this beautiful worship song usher you into his presence. May it uplift your soul and keep your faith steadfast. Lift up your voice and praise him!

“The Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. Keep his decrees and commands . . . so that it may go well with you. . . “ Deuteronomy 4:39-40.

Listen to this powerful song and check out the official live video of ‘Faith For It’ by Jesus Culture and Derek Johnson.

“Mighty Mountain, get outta the way, wake oh sleeper, come out of that grave, hey believer
It’s time to walk on waves, by the power of Jesus name, if you’ve got faith for it, lift Him high
If you’ve got faith for it then testify, there‘s a miracle that's coming cause His promises are yes
If you've got faith for it, shout Amen, lowest Valley, you’re gonna be raised, Jericho stronghold”

This amazing song has a great message and reminds us that we can declare unwavering faith and trust in the power of Jesus' name. We can find victory over challenges and obstacles with Jesus on our side, and we can step out in faith because of God's miraculous works.

At the start of ‘Faith For It,’ the lyrics state a declaration to mountains and sleepers to move out of the way and come alive in the power of Jesus' name. Then the song goes on to reference biblical stories like the falling of Jericho's stronghold and the slaying of Goliath. These are all great reminders to us all of God’s faithfulness and power!

As we listen to this great worship song from Jesus Culture, may we be reminded to always lift Jesus high and testify to His goodness. And seeing all of the people in the music video praising God together while singing out ‘Faith For It’ is another empowering way to be reminded of trusting God and His plans. He can do the unimaginable!

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Faith For It’ by Jesus Culture and Derek Johnson today!

Matthew 17:20-21
"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."

Two musically gifted vocalists beautifully perform an expertly arranged mashup of some of the most recognizable and beloved praise and worship songs.

Because of God’s grace, love and mercy, He sent his one and only Son to die a painful, agonizing and wholly undeserved death on the cross. In taking the sins of all of mankind on Himself, He took our place. For that ultimate act of love and sacrifice, there is no way possible for anyone to adequately thank Him. The best anyone could ever hope to do is to live a life that honors and glorifies Him and to sing His praises. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, the husband-wife team – Caleb + Kelsey – turned in a stunning performance, using their immense musical abilities to sing several songs that praise and honor the name of Jesus. 

The two musicians kick off their performance by singing “Bless the Lord, O My Soul.” Next, they transition into a cover of “What a Beautiful Name It Is,” which morphs into “Who You Say I Am” about being a child of the King of Kings.

Other songs that made the cut in the video include “Goodness of God,” “Good Good Father” and “Way Maker.” But no medley of such songs about the goodness, righteousness and faithfulness of God would be complete without a track from arguably the biggest name in Christian music: Lauren Daigle.

Caleb and Kelsey include a few lines from Lauren’s smash hit, which has generated hundreds of covers, “You Say.” 

“And You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You Say I am strong when I think I am weak”

In addition to performing and delivering these songs with such a beautiful tone and pitch, every transition is seamless. The way in which the songs are laid out makes them appear to be one long tune about God’s goodness, love and mercy.

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

Check out this video of Bethel Music and The McClures live on tour singing the worship song ‘Raise A Hallelujah.’

“I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies, I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief 
I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody, I raise a hallelujah, Heaven comes to fight for me
I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm, louder and louder, You’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise, death is defeated, the King is alive”

In this video, Bethel Music is performing live on tour with The McClures in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and they sound incredible together. And this amazing worship song, written by Jonathan Helser, Melissa Helser, Molly Skaggs, and Jake Stevens, has such a powerful story behind it.

‘Raise A Hallelujah’ has touched the hearts of many believers around the world, and it was inspired by the miraculous healing of Jaxon Taylor, the son of Bethel's CEO Joel Taylor. It was around Christmas in 2017 when Joel and Janie’s two-year-old son suddenly became ill and had to go to the ER. 

He was diagnosed with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) due to an E. coli infection and was in a battle for his life. And this battle continued for weeks while he was experiencing kidney failure, seizures, and trouble with his respiratory system. To make matters worse, their four-year-old daughter, Addie, was also diagnosed with the same strand of E. coli.

When Jonathan David and Melissa Helser received word that Jaxon's condition was unlikely to improve, they were devastated. That’s when a melody erupted in their heart, and they sent the song they created to Joel. He listened to it repeatedly and played it for his son Jaxon. Later in January 2018, the Taylor family was finally able to head home from the hospital with both of their kids healed.

The song ‘Raise A Hallelujah’ was used by the family as a powerful weapon of worship against the enemy and their unbelief. What an incredible testimony!
