Gospel

Check out the official music video for the song ‘Fallen’ by Dennis Quaid and see how the lyrics strike a chord as he calls out for Jesus.

“I went for a joyride down the Devi's highway

My eternal soul hanging by the thread

I was determined that the wheel was going my way

Wind up beside the road, left for dead”

What a great song with a country and rock sound. Dennis Quaid does a great job singing ‘Fallen’ and really puts a lot of feeling into his performance. Of course, he is known for his acting, but it is clear he can also sing. 

The two producers for this song were leading gospel music figures Ben Isaacs and David Ferguson, who are part of the country rock world. 

“With two different producers, it reflects me in the sound,” shares Dennis Quaid. “Half Baptist churcher, half country rock. Ben is part of the Isaacs, which is a Christian group. He knows bluegrass and he knows the Gaither Christian audience. These traditional Christian songs, which were part of my Baptist upbringing in Texas, are very important to me. I knew how I wanted it to sound.”

Dennis Quaid recognizes that some people do not want to talk about their faith in their music, but that was not the case for him. “A lot of people are embarrassed to talk about their faith. They think it’s some kind of Boy Scout thing, where you’ve got to follow the rules,” says Dennis Quaid. “But I talk to God a lot, every day. I question everything I do. I believe it’s about keeping trying. It’s about self-examination and throwing your ego out the door.” What a great quote! 

‘Fallen’ is a great song, all about faith, and we hope that you enjoyed listening to this performance today!

An inspirational song that encourages you, in Christ's strength, do not give up, keep hope and carry on.

Singer-songwriters and husband and wife Joey + Rory delivered a powerful and moving performance of the beloved hymn “In the Garden” on Larry’s Country Diner.

Some songs, no matter how many times you hear them, will never become tired or old. Likely, it’s because those lyrics and melodies have an added significance. They hold a special meaning or place in our hearts. 

For a lot of people, a select number of hymns could never be heard or played too much. Immediately, the hymn that comes to mind is “Amazing Grace.” Yes, that is a beautiful hymn that has stood the test of time. It’s been covered thousands of times by hundreds of artists. 

But another hymn, a little less obvious but still just as beloved is “In the Garden.” It’s a piece about spending quality time with the Lord, walking and talking with Him. Those precious moments with the Savior are enough to create an inexplicable joy, one that has never been known, the songwriter adds. 

“And he talks with me

And He tells me I am His own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known”

Joey Feek, who sadly passed away in 2016 following a long battle with cancer, delivered a magnificent country and bluegrass vocal performance. Her husband, Rory, provides background vocals while also strumming along on the guitar.

Before the end of the clip, Joey invites the entire room to join her and sing along. It’s a song that everyone is abundantly familiar with, as all jump in and lend their musical talents to the talented husband and wife team. 

Right before the clip ends, the studio audience gives Joey and Rory Feek a well-deserved round of applause, showing their appreciation for their lovely and dazzling performance of a timeless classic, “In the Garden.”

Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

A father-daughter duo showed off their heavenly harmonies and God-given talent during their stunning performance of the beloved hymn “Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me.”

Everyday living is an experience that can often weigh people down with stress and overwhelming burdens. Getting through another day and battling those trying situations and circumstances can feel like an unbearable and monumental task. It can even reach the point where every decision and choice feels like a no-win proposition. Whatever way we go, feels like the wrong direction.

However, there is one we can call upon during these times. Jesus Christ offers His guidance, direction and protection. He will provide shelter during the storm and rest to the weary. He even asks us to cast our worries and burdens upon Him. Yes, He is more than sufficient, able to handle anything that we may encounter in this life.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one youngster, Claire Crosby, and her father, Dave Crosby, bless everyone with their rendition of the beloved hymn “Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me.”

It’s a sweet and stripped-down performance that features the strength and beauty of their voices. It’s a rendition that deserves several listens to fully appreciate the talent of the little girl and her father and the lovely lyrics. 

“Jesus, Savior, pilot me

Through all life’s tempestuous sea

Chart and compass came from Thee

Jesus, Savior, pilot me”

That hymn should be the constant prayer of everyone following Christ. All will face hardships, trials and testing in life. No one will be able to escape this experience without something that will stretch and test their faith. 

But with His guidance and direction, all can and will make it through whatever situation we face. His Word promises repeatedly that He will never leave us nor forsake us. 

Psalm 55:22 “Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.”

An incredibly talented group of musicians, Mosaic MSC, delivered a beautiful and awe-inspiring acoustic performance of “Everything at Your Feet.”

Human beings are stubborn and strong-willed creatures, determined to do things their way on their own. For some, asking for help or guidance is viewed as a sign of weakness. Those individuals will hold onto that wrong-headed notion even when they are completely stuck in a seemingly hopeless situation with nowhere to turn.

However, there is One who calls for us to cast our burdens, cares and worries onto Him. He can take a situation that appears to be hopeless and make a way. He can inject life into a circumstance where there is none. He offers rest for the weary and shelter during and from the storm.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Mosaic MSC performs a beautiful tune about giving up everything – all our worries, burdens, hopes and cares – to Him. 

“Everything at Your feet

The little things

And everything in between

Surrendering every part of me”

Life has a way of loading us with worries, burdens and stresses. Everyday living can be too much for even the most well-adjusted and together person. These situations and circumstances can become overwhelming and unbearable. But God wants all of it. There is nothing too big for Him to handle.

Not only that, but God asks us to approach Him as we are. His love, mercy and grace are precious gifts waiting for those who turn over everything, every part of their being to Him. He has a knack for making something beautiful out of a mess.

There’s nothing that God cannot and will not make better. He can come into a situation and completely change it, doing things that we never imagined possible.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.”

A Christian husband and wife, Caleb and Kelsey, covered Phil Wickham’s hit song, “The Jesus Way,” turning it into a soul-stirring and lovely duet performance.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of hurting, broken and lost people in this world. They are all carrying heavy burdens and worries, looking for any sign of hope. Many are crying out for help, comfort and healing. They want some reassurance that their suffering will end at some point. 

For those hurting, struggling and battling, there is one who has come to provide that hope and comfort that many desperately seek. Christ willingly went to the cross and died, taking upon the sins of the world on His back. He paid the ultimate price so we could be made new and might receive eternal life with Him one day. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Caleb and Kelsey perform “The Jesus Way.” It’s a song about following Christ’s unbelievable example of love and forgiveness on the cross that day. Because He loved us enough to die and forgive us, we can now act similarly and forgive those who wrong or hurt us. 

“I follow Jesus

He wore my sin, I’ll gladly wear His name

He is the treasure

He is the answer”

The lyrics in Phil’s song are essentially a blueprint for how Christians are to act toward and treat their fellow man. Christ forgave us, going through an agonizing death, which He did not deserve. If he went through all that, how can we, if we’re going to call ourselves a Christian, not show others mercy, grace and forgiveness? 

Christ was and is a perfect example of the love that we are to show others. That is, as the song title indicates, “The Jesus Way.” 

Colossians 3:13 “Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:”

Based on the book of John and specifically 13:34-35 this is a prophetic lyric song was written by Brian back in December 1986 while a member of the Anaheim Ca. Vineyard Christian Fellowship. Love is what God is calling His church into because GOD IS LOVE. We are to love God (the easy part) AND to love one another as God loves us which is unconditionally. The world is going crazy with hate and division, but God is calling His church, you and me to come together in love and unity.

Several incredibly talented musicians, Lynda Randle, Michael Tait and Tony Tait, performed a beautiful gospel tune, “My Lord and I,” and shared its powerful message about God’s love and faithfulness.

Everyday life is filled with trials, tribulations and hardships. Sometimes, situations and circumstances can become overwhelming and unbearable. All will, at one time or another, encounter trying situations. Unfortunately, that is the reality of living in a fallen, broken world ruined and destroyed by sin. 

Despite all the hurt, sorrow and pain this world may bring, Christians must keep their eyes on the prize. Heaven and spending eternity with Him is more than worth enduring whatever troubling situations come our way. Also, the Lord, as the Bible mentions, will go through all of it with us. He will never leave nor forsake us, especially during our time of need.

Lynda, Michael and Tony, with their stunning and awe-inspiring performance, remind us of this fact. God does not leave when life becomes painful. Instead, He is walking right beside us. He offers guidance, protection and shelter during the storm. Like He did with the disciples in the boat, He calms the raging seas.

“Rain or shine (rain or shine), snow or sleet (snow or sleet)

Blessed Lord (blessed Lord) won’t you guide my feet

We’re gonna walk this road to glory

My Lord and I”

At the end of the spirited and uplifting performance about God’s faithfulness and love, the entire room rightly responds by giving the musicians a well-deserved standing ovation. It's a performance that deserves to be listened to multiple times. 

Also, you can’t listen to and watch their performance and not come away in a better mood.

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help for you.”

A group of incredibly talented vocalists, The Detty Sisters, once again put their lovely voices on full display with their touching rendition of “He’ll Do It Again,” a tune that reminds us of God’s faithfulness and love.

The world can be a tough place to maneuver and navigate. Everyday living can become an overwhelming and monumental chore. We may even find ourselves in a lost and hopeless situation.

But when God is involved and in control, that is never the case. God can and has made a way when none seems possible. He injects hope and life into a situation devoid of both. The Bible states in several places that God will never leave or forsake us. He has never let those who love and follow Him down before. There’s no indication He will now. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, The Detty Sisters beautifully perform “He’ll Do It Again.” 

The song’s opening verse perfectly captures a feeling all followers of Christ have found themselves in at one time or another. Everyone, if they are being honest, would admit to believing that God may have forgotten them or that He doesn’t care about our concerns. 

However, the song’s lovely chorus reminds followers of Christ that in those cases, God has come through every time. All one needs to do to prove this is to look at where they are now and where they were at one point.

“If you just take a look

At where you are now

And where you’ve been

Hasn’t He always come through for you?”

And if He did it once, what's keeping Him from coming through and remaining faithful the next time? We can rest assured that God is always loving and faithful. 

Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the Lord your God, he is God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;”

Christian music artist Michael W. Smith delivered a moving and emotional performance of “Above All,” a beautiful song about Christ’s powerful, life-changing love and mercy.

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Everyone on earth is a sinner, having willfully turned away from God’s teachings and commands. With arrogance and total disobedience, all chose their own way, disregarding God.

However, while we were still lost in sin and shame, God's love never stopped. Even while we were still sinners, God sent His one and only Son to die on the cross, taking all our sins and shame on Himself. He died, paying the ultimate sacrifice for us. The Bible says Christ demonstrated His wondrous, perfect, and astounding love for us by dying on the cross.

On Good Friday, we recognize and honor Christ’s painful, agonizing and horrible death on the cross. But Praise God, that is not where the story ends! 

Days later, on Easter morning, the grave was empty, and the stone rolled away. He arose from the grave, winning the ultimate and forever victory over sin, death and hell. 

Christ willingly gave His life for us, suffering death, even death on the cross, so that we may have forgiveness, know Him and have everlasting life. Christ did all of that for you and me! 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Michael W. Smith, backed up by an entire orchestra, plays the piano and sings “Above All.” It’s a song that perfectly captures Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and how he did it all for you and me.

 

“Like a rose trampled on the ground

You took the fall

And thought of me

Above all”

Christ paid a debt, one that we could never repay. He willingly did what no one else could do. Glory and honor to His name!

Luke 24:2-3 “And they saw that the stone had been rolled away. And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.”

Several talented Christian musicians, including Bethel Music, Hannah McClure and Noah Paul Harrison, turned in a moving performance of “Lift Up Holy Hands/He’s Alive.”

Without Christ’s loving and awe-inspiring sacrifice, all would be lost, condemned to live out their days in their sin and shame. But because He willingly went to the cross, taking all sin and guilt upon Himself, forgiveness and everlasting life with Him is possible.

But He didn’t just die on the cross, never to return. Days later, when those who went to check on Christ’s body, they found the grave empty and the stone rolled away. Christ was nowhere to be found in the tomb. 

He has risen! 

He won the victory over sin, death and hell. Praise His excellent name!

In a clip posted on YouTube, several musicians sing praise and worship to Him, singing about the one true and risen King! 

“Oh, oh, He’s alive, and He’s alive and He is risen

Lift your voice, lift up your faith today

He’s alive, and He’s alive, and He is risen

Oh, sing holy”

 

As the musicians put on their outstanding and emotional performance, the crowd, looking on, sings along and lifts their hands up in praise. 

Seeing that many people praise and worship the Lord together is a moving scene. 

What a sight and a shock it would have been to come up to the tomb of Jesus Christ that Easter Sunday morning and see His grave empty. Those women must have been instantly flooded with questions and concerns. But they had no reason to worry or to be concerned, for He is risen.

The one they call Jesus, the Savior, He is alive! Praise God.

Luke 24:2-3 “And they saw that the stone had been rolled away. And they went in, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there.”

The legendary Reba McEntire delivered an upbeat and energetic performance of a beloved and classic tune, “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” in a lyric video.

Everyone’s time on Earth is limited. It’s simply a momentary stop, with eternity awaiting all. As ironic as it may be, death is a part of life. It’s something that everyone will experience at one time or another. Sadly, most people’s lives have already been impacted by death, either by the passing of a friend or a family member. 

However, after that time on Earth has expired, everyone will find themselves spending eternity in one of two places. For those who follow Christ and adhere to His teachings and commands, death is not something to fear. Instead, passing from this world into eternity can almost be something to embrace.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Queen of Country Music, Reba, performed “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” a tune that is a favorite of many. It’s about anticipating the moment when they leave this world and proceed to their eternal home. 

“Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home”

However, instead of performing the familiar song in a way people have heard hundreds of times before, Reba makes it her own. She increases the song’s tempo, making it an upbeat, fast-paced and joyous tune about making it heaven. 

It’s exactly the kind of move you would expect from such a seasoned and professional performer. Prior to her vocal performance, understanding how well-known the song is, she encourages the audience to join in with her. 

Also, for those watching who don’t already know the words to the song about making your way to heaven, the lyrics are shown on the bottom of the screen throughout the clip. 

Reba’s performance perfectly captures the joy and happiness that will be present in the moment when we finally make it to heaven!

Psalm 105:2 “Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.”

This YouTube video, ‘Be There For You’ is by Cochren & Co. The song is from their second album, Running Home, which came out in 2023. The album is about Michael Cochren returning to God and it is a good reminder for us all. 

Cochren & Co. is a contemporary Christian band led by Michael Cochren. After he finished school he started a band with his friends, later adding his wife Leah. In 2018, they signed with TobyMac’s Gotee Records and released their 1st single. They also made their debut at the Grand Ole Opry in June 2023. 

‘Be There For You’ is a song about someone being there for someone else. The lyrics remind us that we are not alone in this life and that we can find comfort in knowing that we don’t have to go through struggles all by ourselves. That other people are there and can help us through. 

In the video, Michael is on the keyboard and vocals and his band members are using different instruments such as a tambourine, drums, and a guitar. It appears that they are singing the song in a warehouse of some kind. The music is comforting as are the lyrics.

“Days fade in and leave the same

An endless battle, seems like nothing has changed

I wish I could tell you when this season will end

Better days are coming and I promise til then”

We can’t know when the bad days will end and things will get better but we do know that God walks with us through them and that he sends us other people to support us. We may go through struggles but better days will eventually come. 

“But they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” -Isaiah 40:31

This YouTube video is a music video for Phil Wickham’s new single, a song called ‘Sunday is Coming - Hometown Version.’ 

This lyric video has a simple background of a sunset over the water. The lyrics appear over the video image, and it's all quite peaceful. 

The song, ‘Sunday is Coming - Hometown Version,’ is about Jesus dying on the cross for us and all he went through beforehand. It’s a reminder of his sacrifice, and that we should focus on Sunday, the day he rose again. That Sunday is the most important day in the history of the world.

The chorus says it all: 

“Friday's good 'cause Sunday is coming

Don't lose hope 'cause Sunday is coming

Devil, you're done, you better start running

Friday's good 'cause Sunday is coming” 

This version of the song is the Hometown version, which is slightly different from the original. It is a softer and quieter version that appeals to some people. 

According to YouTube, Phil Wickham is a Grammy-nominated, Dove award-winning artist and leader in the modern worship movement. He has released 10 worship albums; his first came out in 2003. He started leading worship for his youth group when he was just 13 years old. 

Many in the comments really enjoyed this song and video. One commenter says, “The Hometown Version is filled with God's beauty while remembering Jesus' life and sacrifice for each one of us. We have so much to look forward to - Oh, Church Arise!” and another states, “So beautiful Phil Wickham. I love this Hometown Version. You are a true man of God. I love you and your beautiful music. May God continue to bless you.”

“He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” - Luke 24: 6-

A Grammy Award-winning musician, Mitch Wong, turned in a moving and awe-inspiring rendition of “Because of Christ,” a tune about the love and sacrifice that brings hope and life to all.

No one is perfect. Everyone has failed, stumbled and turned away from God, ignoring his commands and teachings. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, as the Bible says. God’s Word also states that the penalty for that sin is death.

However, God has made a way because of His tremendous, astounding love, mercy and grace. Yes, all will experience a physical death as our bodies will eventually give out. But because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, we don’t have to experience a spiritual death. 

Christ’s death and resurrection won the victory over sin, death and hell. He willingly went to the cross, suffering an agonizing, brutal, and wholly undeserved death on our behalf. He did all that so we might have hope and an opportunity at eternal life with Him. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Mitch performs “Because of Christ.” It’s a song about exactly what the name indicates. The lyrics point out how Christ made all the difference. How He came willing to give up His life, and because of that ultimate sacrifice and act of love, we have hope. 

The lyrics are beautiful, perfectly capturing the difference He made for mankind.

“May I never boast in anything

Except the cross of Jesus Christ

May I not forget the blood He shed

It is by His death I am alive”

What powerful lyrics! 

We could never do anything to be worthy of such a gift. He paid a price, a debt that we could never fulfill. He took our sins on Himself. Because of what He did, we now have hope.

Glory to His name!

Galatians 6:14 “But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.”

So many of us have felt hurt. We need guidance from above. The world is on high alert, mankind's only hope is God's love. Music & Production: Raul Barba, Vocals: Raul Barba, Lyrics by Clare Steffen. Radio Edit.
