The song, written by Bay Turner, Tony Wood, and John Allan, features the talented Tommy Gerlach on guitar. Bay shares a poignant inspiration behind "Beautiful Gospel," recounting a powerful encounter with his grandmother, Joy, days before her passing. Guided by the Holy Spirit, Bay led her through the salvation prayer, and she went to be with Jesus shortly after. This profound experience filled Bay with peace and deepened his understanding of the gospel's beauty and reach.

This is a video I made with the beginning of a song I wrote several years ago after my Mom passed away. I will finish the video at a later time.

The popular and incredibly talented Christian music group Newsboys has released the powerful and moving official music video for their song "How Many Times."

No one deserves God's continued love, forgiveness and grace. The Bible says that every person has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Yet, because of His inexplicable and never-ending love, God sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to Earth.

If sending His son to Earth to pay our debt by taking our place on the cross wasn't enough, God continues to show His love and faithfulness in our lives. He is always faithful in any and every situation. He remains by our side, always protecting, guiding and directing.

God continually does all of this and is always faithful and quick to shed his grace upon us. He has never failed us, and there is no reason that He will ever do so in the future.

In their official music video for "How Many Times, the Newsboys sing about God's faithfulness. God comes through every single time. He's done it so often that counting the number of instances is impossible.

The song's lovely and beautiful chorus tries to assign a number to the instances of God's faithfulness. But even the lyrics in the song's chorus are too finite and restricting for God and His love and grace.

"More than the stars in a thousand-night skies
More than the minutes in a million lifetimes
How many times have You proven You love me
Oh, how You love me"

As the song states, God constantly makes a way when there appears to be none. He can and does inject hope and life into a situation that looks to be lost and without hope. There isn't anything that He cannot and will not do.

Praise His holy name!

Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for his is faithful that promised:"

Sung by my dad, on the CD "Then Sings My Soul", which was recorded when he was 81 in the summer of 2017. Keyboards by Renee Fletcher. My dad went home to be with Jesus on February 19th, 2022.

Recorded by my dad in the Summer of 2017 at the age of 81. My dad went home to be with Jesus on February 19th, 2022. This was one of my favorite songs of his that I heard him sing many times in church in my childhood. I always loved the high note at the end of the song. Maybe that's why I like to sing high notes in many of my songs now...I am so grateful for the dad that God blessed me with and how he and my dear mom pointed me to Jesus! I'm so glad to have this album to be able to still share my dad's music ministry even now after he's gone to heaven.

The Faroese singer / songwriter Eydun Jacobsen wrote this song and has been sung in Scandinavia ever since. It uses the text of Psalm 18. As the Danish lyrics are easy to follow and find online, I have not added it. This version is from Kristent Felleskap, Kristiansand in Norway. I have tried to keep the intimate nature of the original. This texted version was then used successfully at a church service texted in both languages, and it proved successful enough to consider uploading it for the enjoyment of others. The translation I made over a period of 3 days. It may be short, but it takes time to find something that fits the original rythm, text and fits the melody naturally.

A handful of gifted performers gave a stunning rendition of the beloved hymn “Because He Lives” in a lyric video.

Hymns are some of the best, most moving and emotional pieces of music. Also, at the same time, they are some of the most underutilized. Many people and churches have moved away from the classic church tunes. Instead, they have chosen to go with more contemporary Christian music.

That’s a shame because those hymns are so well-written and full of so much truth. “How Great Thou Art,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “Amazing Grace” and many others will never be topped. No matter how many times you hear a hymn, it never loses its meaning or emotional impact. Those words about Christ’s love, faithfulness and grace are as true today as they were when those hymns were first written.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Bill Gaither and his wife Gloria, the song’s original writers, and several other singers perform one of those beloved, classic hymns, “Because He Lives.” It’s an excellent and moving performance that gets the entire crowd on their feet and singing along with them.

Of course, the classic song praises God’s love and sacrifice in sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to Earth to die on the cross for us. But not only did He experience a horrible, humiliating and painful death on our behalf, but He also rose from the grave, winning the ultimate victory over sin and death.

The song’s chorus perfectly and articulately captures Christ’s love and sacrifice for us, a bunch of sinners who were and are not deserving of such love.

“Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living”

This is one performance that you’ll want to listen to and watch repeatedly.

Romans 5:8 “But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.”
