Slow things down for a few minutes and enjoy this soul-stirring cover of ‘Praise’ by Christian artists Caleb & Kelsey. A variation on the uptempo and spirited original, this couple’s version takes more time, providing the listener with extra seconds to linger on the lyrics. And they are indeed beautiful words, written by Brandon Lake, Chandler Moore, Chris Brown, Cody Carnes, Pat Barrett, and Steven Furtick. When Caleb and Kelsey sing those perfect lines of ‘Praise,’ it’s another big hit! 

Sitting at the edge of the water with the forest at their backs, Caleb and Kelsey Grimm are dressed in fall clothing. The changing color of the trees and the sunshine reflecting off the water create a gorgeous gold around the couple. The setting is certainly praise-worthy, as are their harmonies. When Kelsey sings the main message line, we hear just how pretty her voice is—simple, pure, and perfectly pretty!

She turns her brilliant blue eyes toward the heavens before Caleb joins her, and the song continues. Kelsey sings backup vocals for Caleb, and he points toward the skies. They sing together and individually, all the while exclaiming the greatest of God. 

Here is one verse from ‘Praise:’

‘I’ll praise in the valley, praise on the mountain 

I’ll praise when I’m sure, praise when I’m doubting

I’ll praise when outnumbered, praise when surrounded

‘Cause praise is the waters my enemies drown in’

Few among us don’t find it hard to praise at times, particularly in the midst of trials. Of course, everyone experiences hardships, and Kelsey wrote about her battles with suicide, faith, and identity in her 2021 book, Over It. 

When asked what advice she has for those struggling with their faith, Kelsey told the Christian Post, “We all struggle in our faith. It’s part of having faith at all. Believing in someone or something we can’t see is confusing and hard sometimes. Surround yourself with people who give you space to ask questions and sit with you wherever you are on your faith journey.” 

Among the infinite number of reasons we have for worshipping, Caleb & Kelsey are one. Their voices raised in praise stir souls, teach lessons, and touch hearts!     

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.” Psalms 150:6 

Check out this modern video for a classic song known worldwide. Luca Brugnolia is only 13 years old, and he is sharing his talents with the world. His voice is pure and poised, and it is such a joy to listen to him. This video is the teen’s awe-inspiring cover of ‘The Prayer.’ 

At the start of the music video, we see clips of two precious babies. Then, a father holding the hand of his young son. Luca appears in a dark corner of a concrete building and begins to walk down the stairs. He sings with such heart and passion. He is shown playing his guitar like a beggar on the street as people walk by. He is in ragged clothing but sharing his love for music with others. Luca is artistic, and his voice is very impressive for his age. He continues with the chorus in Italian and translates it to English. 

Luca is then another “character” when he sings Italian. He is dressed in a suit vest and walking in an elegant setting. He is showing a story of two boys living in very different worlds who have a love for music. One plays guitar on the streets and is poor, and the other is wealthy and plays piano in a high-end studio. The creative storyline has you intrigued during the entire performance. It is as if he is showing that no matter who we are or what our life circumstances are, that God hears our prayers.

The harmonies on the chorus will almost bring you to tears. It is absolutely stunnings. He is absolutely a wonderful singer that you want to hear more from. Watching this video inspires us to pray. At the end of this video, the two boys meet, and their worlds collide. It is beautiful. 

“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” Colossians 4:2

THESE WORDS ARE FROM MY BOOK titled Creating Your Best Life Now. And I am singing my original song DEEP INSIDE MY SOUL from my CD “Jesus Paid The Price”… A husband and wife prayed for prosperity and good fortune. One mystical evening, three angels visited them; Wealth, Success, and Love. The angels stood outside their door and told them they could only pick one of them to come into their home. After they thought over their choices, the husband shared this with his wife. "If we choose Wealth, we can buy our Success, which will bring us Love." She disagreed, "If we choose Success, it will bring us Wealth, and then we can afford to be in Love." After much back-and-forth discussion, they both agreed to choose Love. The couple asked the three angels, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and fill our home." As Love started walking toward them, Wealth and Success followed Love into their house. Surprised, they asked, "You told us we could only pick one of you, so why are all of you coming into our home?" Love answered, "If you had invited Wealth or Success into your home, I would have stayed outside. But since you invited me in, where I go, they follow. Because wherever there is Love, there will also be Wealth and Success." This description of Love from The Good Book says it all... Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy or boast. It is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It isn’t self-seeking and is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongdoings. Love doesn’t delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. Love never fails. If I have faith that can move mountains, yet have no love, I am nothing. And now, these three things will always remain; faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is Love.

THESE WORDS ARE FROM MY BOOK titled Creating Your Best Life Now and the song HIS COMMAND is from my CD “For You”… Love your neighbor as yourself. Loving one another is the heart, mind, and soul, becoming one with another person. It is treating somebody else, how you would want them to treat you. It is loving people the way you want to be loved. It is giving to another person, what you would expect them to provide for you. The best exercise for the heart, is to lift someone up who is emotionally down. When somebody doesn’t have a smile, give them one of yours. Instead of putting people down, raise them up and watch yourself rise along with them. Always use your words for kindness, your ears for compassion, your heart for love, and your hands for helping. There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary, and love for the brokenhearted. The smallest act of kindness can be seen as almost nothing, but the person receiving your compassion and kindness sees it as everything!

The Christmas season is a time to celebrate the miracle of Christ’s birth and embrace the joy, wonder, and unity it brings. And nothing ushers in the season quite like our favorite Christmas songs. You’ll adore the Celtic Woman’s chilling ‘We Three Kings’ performance. The YouTube video of this song combines their ethereal voices, a stunning stage, and the deep reverence of the journey of the Magi. Is it just me, or is this one of their best performances? You be the judge!

As the first notes of the bagpipes fill the air, the stage transforms into a wonderland of red with silver lights. A majestic red Christmas tree is on the center stage, illuminated by lights that glow a deep, vibrant red. Against this beautiful stage, the three Celtic women walk out onto the stage in stunning white dresses with silver accents that take your breath away. It’s almost as if they look like stars shining in the heavenly night sky. They look and sound like heavenly angels. 

‘We three kings of Orient are;

bearing gifts we traverse afar,

field and fountain, moor and mountain,

following yonder star’

Together, the singers carry the story of the Wisemen following the star to Bethlehem, and it’s almost as if you can feel what the Wisemen felt on their long journey to find the truth for themselves. They sang the lilting rhythm with grace and poise. You can’t help but feel as though Christ’s birth is right around the corner, promising us the peace and salvation we long for the whole world to feel. 

We hope you enjoyed this beautiful and perhaps one of the best versions of Christmas songs. May it help usher your heart into the true reason for the season, Christ’s gift for us all. 

Matthew 2:9-10 “After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.”

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;”

Turn your attention to God and shed the burdens you’ve been carrying as you hear this awe-inspiring ‘Trust In God’ cover performed by First Baptist Church in Clarksville. Something powerful happened as the sanctuary lights dimmed and the song's first few chords filled the air. It wasn’t just a song to be sung; it was an invitation to lay down our worries, surrender our doubts, and stand on the unwavering truth that God never fails. 

So often in life, we try to navigate all the ups and downs all on our own. If we can control life’s outcomes, our hearts will remain safe. But that’s not the truth. Just as the lyrics of this song remind us, “Jesus is mine. He’s been my fourth man in the fire, time after time.”

Can we pause here for a second? The song reminds us of the story of Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednago and the fiery furnace. They weren’t spared a life from the fires, but God was with them in it (Daniel 3:25). Isn’t that how God works? He doesn’t always take us around the fire or put out the flames, but He promises to walk us through it. 

Trust In God also reminds us that God is the author of our life stories with the lyrics, “Perfect submission, all is at rest. I know the author of tomorrow has ordered my steps.” I don’t know about you, but I often wrestle with trying to figure it all out on my own. But then I remember that I needed to let go and trust in the true Author and Perfector of my life. God can see things we can’t see and His ways are higher than our ways. He’s always working things out for our good.  

As you listen to this beautiful worship song, ask yourself where you need to trust Him today. What would it look like to stop striving and start resting in His promises? Let this song be a reminder God has never failed you, and He never will. 

Psalm 9:10 “Those who know your name trust in you, for you Lord have never forsaken those who seek you.”

There’s a timeless beauty that is captured when it comes to listening to old hymns. You’re in for a real treat as you listen to this stunning a cappella rendition of ‘Little Is Much When God Is In It’ by Dan Hefner. His version is a perfect example of why these old hymns are still relevant today. It’s the perfect example of worshiping the Lord and trusting in Him. 

If you haven’t heard Dan before, you’ll love his unique approach to singing. Using his voice alone, he layers the harmonies and textures of the song to create a rich choral sound that feels like you’re listening to a big choir as they lead you in worship. His rendition of ‘Little Is Much When God Is In It’ captures God’s message: God doesn’t need grandeur to work miracles. God simply asks us to trust in Him, no matter how small our faith and efforts may seem. When we offer our gifts to God, no matter how modest, God multiplies them in ways we can’t imagine. 

What I love most about the rendition of the song is Dan's passion for singing hymns a cappella. On his YouTube page, he wrote “My name is Dan Hefner. I am a Christian, husband and father, and music minister in my local church. I am blessed to have been reared in a godly, musical home, and I'm passionate about enriching others with Scriptural music. I pray that God will be glorified and you will be blessed by the music you find here!” 

He launched his YouTube page in 2020 and has slowly gained a following since then with almost 7,000 fans. Perhaps as you listen to this incredible piece of music, you’ll become a fan too. Let the message of this song warm your heart, whatever you bring to God, no matter how small, it is enough for Him to do great things. 

Colossians 3:17 "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." 

The Detty sisters sang a stunning live performance of Holy Water, and it was more than just a performance, it was a call for each of us to lay down our burdens and run to Jesus. Don’t miss this beautiful performance. 

‘God, I'm on my knees again

God, I'm begging please again

I need you

Oh, I need you’

There is something sacred about uttering the words, “Lord, I need you.” It’s as if we truly realize how much we need God, His presence, His wisdom, forgiveness, and His deep, boundless love. The song reminds us that as we walk down life’s desert roads, it can leave us feeling parched and weary. The world offers countless distractions and temporary band-aids but only God can ease the ache in our chest. 

At one point during the song, the oldest sister encouraged those listening to remember what it was like the first time we felt God come into our lives. During the interlude, she said, “How many remembers the moment that he touched you and baptized you with his Holy Spirit and with water? The moment that he set me free, I’ve never been the same, hallelujah.”

God’s forgiveness is truly like honey, offering a sweet taste to our souls as we’re comforted by Christ’s love and set free for His purpose and plans. It’s a beautiful reminder that no matter what life throws at us, we can rest firmly in God’s hands. His love takes us to the riverside of His grace as He washes us with the Holy Water of His forgiveness. Through this beautiful performance by the Detty Sisters, we can lean into Jesus and thank Him for the ultimate gift of His sacrifice for us on the cross. 

We hope you enjoyed this sweet ‘Holy Water’ performance by these lovely, Jesus-loving ladies. 

John 7:37-38 "On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’"

Life is full of battles. Some are more visible to the world, while others remain hidden, waged silently in our hearts and minds. Brandon Lake’s ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah’s official music video is a powerful anthem that speaks of our struggles and reminds us to celebrate the victories we claim in our loving Jesus–even when they feel hard-won. 

‘I'll bring my hard-fought heartfelt

Been-through-hell hallelujah

I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail

Story to tell, hallelujah’

We have no idea the battles others face. We can only draw on our own experiences. For some, they’re battling addiction, and every step towards sobriety is a victory. For others, they face health battles, like autoimmune diseases. It’s something that wages war on a daily basis. Sometimes, just making the bed is a hard-fought battle. For others, it’s raising kids, tight finances, or rocky relationships. Life may feel like a constant struggle to make it to the end of the day. 

Yet, even in these moments, God reminds us of His faithfulness. And that’s one of the reasons I love Brandon’s song. It’s an anthem and reminds us that trusting in Him in the small victories–an unexpected gift, a nap, a paid bill, or a meal shared with gratitude becomes an act of worship, a hallelujah in the midst of hardship. Like Brandon sings, these hallelujahs may be born of struggle, but they are also born of grace. They are reminders God is with us in every battle.

We hope you enjoyed the performance of Hard Fought Hallelujah. It captures the heart of what it means to celebrate even the smallest of victories. It’s about praising God not just when the battle is over but while we’re still in the trenches. It’s about believing that every step forward is a moment of gaining more hope in Him.

 Exodus 15:2 “The LORD is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.”

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.

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!

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.”
