Praise & Worship

Immensely talented Christian music singer Anne Wilson put on a spectacular live performance, rocking the stage as she sang her tune “Rain in the Rearview.”

Life can often be a painful and hurtful experience. As most people are likely already familiar, some situations will leave you battered and bruised. Circumstances will leave you devastated, reaching for any kind of help and relief from the present situation.

Sadly, it can reach the point where giving up and throwing in the towel is preferable to any other option. But those trials and hardships will not last forever. Something better is just beyond the horizon. There is light at the end of the tunnel, as the old saying goes.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Anne delivers an exquisite live performance of her hit song “Rain in the Rearview.” Her tune is about continuing to fight, battle, and drive through the storm, even when there appears to be no end in sight.  

“When the storm rolls in and the sky won’t quit crying

And you’ve lost more tears than you thought you could ever lose

Oh, I swear, somewhere out there, the sun is somewhere shining

So, drive, baby, drive, baby, drive ‘til it shines on you”

Unfortunately, no one will be able to escape this life without going through their fair share of hardships. By the time it’s all said and done, all will have their collection of scars. But quitting and giving up the fight is never an option. If things were easy, we wouldn’t appreciate the good things in life as much.

Additionally, God will always remain by our side during these intense periods of pain and difficulty. We are never alone in the fight. He is still in control and has things under control. There is nothing too big for Him.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Two immensely talented musicians, Zach Williams and Dolly Parton, joined forces for a stirring duet performance of “Lookin’ for You.”

People are constantly looking and searching for connection and meaning in their lives. Individuals will go to great lengths to find something that makes them feel whole, connected and not so alone.

Everyone wants to know they are not alone and going through this life by themselves. Some people will fill this need for connection and love with work, romantic relationships and when nothing else seems to work, even with drugs and alcohol. 

Zach and Dolly, in their song “Lookin’ for You,” sing about this desire everyone has to feel needed and loved, that they matter simply because they are human beings. The two country musicians sing how they tried to fill this desire, this hole with things and achievements, but came up short and felt empty every time.

However, it wasn’t until they had reached their lowest point and were down on their knees crying out to God that they realized He was what they were looking for the whole time. 

“And I cried out to Heaven

I could finally see

Jesus, Jesus, I know it’s true

All of my life, I was lookin’ for You”

It’s a beautifully written and performed tune that perfectly captures the brokenness of people and where individuals will search to find something to make them whole. But as people often do, they will look for answers in all the wrong places. Too many people have to experience too much hurt before considering turning to the one true, trustworthy source of comfort, healing and peace. 

The world offers many temporary fixes to our problems and issues, but they all wear off and eventually cease to be. However, as Jesus told the lady at the well, “But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.”

This video is a beautiful melody by Caleb and Kelsey. Caleb and Kelsey Grimm are a husband and wife duo who have been singing together since they met in college in 2012. 

They released their first EP in 2018, and in 2019, they collaborated with Lauren Daigle and TobyMac. They combine folk, rock, pop, country, and jazz elements into their music. 

The two songs they include in this performance, ‘Open the Eyes of My Heart’ and ‘Lord I Give You My Heart,’ are staples in Christian worship music. The melody of the two together by Caleb and Kelsey is a lovely blending of music.

When it comes to worship music, many songs can touch us in different ways. The lyrics always have a lot to say, and we can take them with us in our hearts. 

‘Open the Eyes of My Heart’ starts with:

“Open the eyes of my heart, Lord

Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You”

While the lyrics are basic in nature, they are filled with much meaning. They call out to God, asking him to show us who he is. 

‘Lord I Give You My Heart’ is all about giving our hearts to Jesus, as we should. 

Many in the comments agree about how lovely a performance this is. One commenter says, “Kelsey has a really beautiful voice. Caleb's voice is a perfect match for hers. Their melody and harmony are extremely beautiful and extraordinary. Sounds like angels singing. God bless.” Another says, “Keep doing worship songs. They really inspire people like me to sing Christian songs exclusively and worship with all my heart. It's not all boring as the world claims it to be.....you guys just proved em wrong.”

“That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:” - Acts 17:27

Origianal Song by Fernie Campos.

We have a Creator and Savior who loves us more than He loves Himself. Romans 6:23 says: "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Jesus took our sin and guilt upon Himself that we might have eternal life. Thanks be to Jesus for His tremendous sacrifice for us!

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!

This video is from Gaither Music TV, where the Goodman Revival sings, ‘I Don't Want To Get Adjusted,’ and it’s quite the energetic southern gospel performance. 

The song is very upbeat and catchy, with the Goodman Revival using their vocal talents and character to put on a performance. It would be very easy to learn the lyrics of this song after just listening to it a handful of times. 

The lyrics begin with:

“In this world, we have our troubles

Sometimes lonesome, sometimes blue

But the hope of life eternal

Makes all old hopes brand-new”

We can all relate to these powerful words about how we each have our troubles, but we also have the hope of eternal life with Jesus. The song is about not wanting to adjust to this world because we know that a better one is coming someday. 

There are so many times in this life when we can become overwhelmed with our struggles or get too involved in what is going wrong in our world. However, this song is a good reminder that we will be in a different place one day. 

The Goodman Revival is made up of three members. Tanya Goodman Sykes, her husband, Michael Sykes, an acclaimed producer, and their friend Johnny Minick, a gospel music veteran. Johnny used to perform with Howard and Vestal Goodman in years past. 

Many in the comments enjoy this performance. One commenter said, “The fact this has millions of views and that so many people want to fall asleep listening to God's word is absolutely heart warming and soul refilling. God bless each and everyone of you, in Jesus name, Amen” and another commented, “Yes, we have home that's so much better.” 

“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” - John 14:2

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.”

Jesus lives

This YouTube video is by the Gaither Vocal Band who sing their catchy tune, ‘Born Again’. The song will make you want to sing along.

“Lord I've (I've been born again)

I've been born again (I've been born again)

Lord I've (I've been born again)

sure been born again (I've been born again)”

The lyrics talk about being born again, being baptized, being connected with Jesus, and how he helps us. The song is a good reminder of what is important, and how we belong to Jesus once we have been born again.

Music is the best way to get a message across and this video has definitely done so. The vocals are strong, and the performance is engaging. If you didn’t already know the song, you would be able to pick up the lyrics pretty easily. This song would be a great one to listen to when you need a little pick me up. 

The Gaither Vocal Band is an American Southern Gospel vocal group. It’s named after its founder and leader, Bill Gaither. The lineup of the group changes often as artists leave to work on solo careers and new ones replace them. 

Some of the longest-running singers are Mark Lowery, Michael English, and Wes Hampton. The current lineup includes;  Reggie Smith - tenor, Wes Hampton - tenor, Adam Crabb - lead, Todd Suttles - bass/baritone, and Bill Gaither - bass/baritone.

So many in the comments were very touched by this song. One commenter said, “I have been born again. Therefore I will never die. Thank you Jesus. Thank you God. Thank you Holy Spirit” and another, “Praise God I've been born again! Am baptised unto resurrection with Jesus Christ my Personal Lord and Saviour. Alleluyah!!!!!!!”

“Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” - John 3:3 

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.”

This song was inspired as I read the account of the Triumphal Entry (Palm Sunday) found in Luke 19:37-40. As it spoke about the stones crying out, my heart was moved and this song was born. I pray it will encourage us all to sing and speak our praises to the Lord often. He is worthy!!

This is a sheet-music playback that makes it easier to learn to sing this song

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;”
