Missing you, loss

From the Angel's point of view

Listen to this powerful instrumental cover of the beloved hymn ‘He Touched Me.’ This popular hymn was originally written by Bill Gaither. Matthew Holt is the musician performing the hymn on the piano in this video. May this song uplift you today!

‘Shackled by a heavy burden
'Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same’

What a beautiful performance of ‘He Touched Me.’ Matthew Holt has had a full career with his musical talents. In 2004, he joined the award-winning family group The Perrys and played with them until 2008. Then in 2012, Matthew became the full-time keyboard player for the Gaither Vocal Band and the Gaither Homecoming Tour.

Matthew does an incredible job playing ‘He Touched Me,’ and many people online shared their thoughts about his performance. 

“One of my favorite church hymns of all time!” one person writes after watching the music video.

“I think I’m up to seven times watching this tonight. It’s just so beautiful!” comments another person online.

When it comes to the history of ‘He Touched Me,’ it was written in 1963 by Bill Gaither. Gospel singer Doug Oldham was the first to record the hymn in 1964, and not long after that, the Bill Gaither Trio recorded it. Then in 1965, The Imperials recorded ‘He Touched Me’ for their album The Happy Sounds of Jake Hess and the Imperials. In 1969, they recorded a newer version for the album Love Is The Thing. This is the version that Elvis Presley heard that made him want to record the song himself.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this instrumental version of the hymn ‘He Touched Me,’ and may it be an encouragement for you today!
 

Therefore I Tell You, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." - Mark 11:24 I haven't always had faith in God. I used to believe everything in my life was up to me. If I succeeded, I was proud. If I failed- it was all my fault. Though I do not shirk the responsibility to do my best in life in all things, it is a HUGE relief to know I am not all alone. In fact, God is with me every step of the way, lavishing his extravagant grace on me when he sees I need it and at other times allowing me to learn lesson from my mistakes. One of the biggest tests of my faith was when I was facing infertility. The 8 year journey till we finally had our twins Hannah and Caleb was heart-wrenching, but God showed himself to me through that heartbreaking time. -And He left me with the deep conviction that God listens when we pray! "You Listen to My Prayers" is a co-write between Julie Kinscheck and Neal Merrick Blackwood. c. 2023 The single will release on all platforms on June 15th, 2025 on Jharck Records.

No proper recording of the original choral arrangement seems to have survived, but it made a mighty finale to John Steffensen's second musical. Melody and Bible-text re-wording: John Steffensen, using the 1978 Norwegian bokmål translation. Adonai,You know all my heart and fathom me! Where I sit and when I stand, Aware of it My mind seen and mapped out beforehand. Adonai, You know all my heart and fathom me! If I walk or lay me down, discerning it, Preserving my coming and my going. Before the word is on the tongue-tip Hearing it, everything I say! Under, over, covering me You have kept your hand on me. Under, over, covering me You have kept your hand on me. ’Tis far too wonderful for the telling. ’Tis far too high For me ever to understand. Under, over, covering me You have kept your hand on me Where can I flee Far from your presence? Where can I cower from your visage? If I follow the Milky Way, -You are there! You are there! If I follow the Milky Way -You are there! You are there! If my hide-out I make in Hell, —you are there! Though I try the wings of morning on And fly away where sky meets ocean Your Spirit still awaits me there! The hollow of Your hand Encloses me And if I say: “Let darkness cover me,The daylight around me be night!” The dark is as clear as dawn to You! The dark is as clear as dawn to You! The night is as clear as morning, The dark of night, as brightest day. Ransack me God. Discern my thinking. Sift to the heart of my very most soul! Discover where I Cling to roads of wrong, And take me the paths everlasting. The language is deliberately somewhat archaic.

Check out this stunning rendition of the song ‘Mercy’ from Elevation Worship. The song is so beautiful and powerful, reminding us that God’s mercies are new every morning. Let the song uplift your soul and leave you encouraged.

‘I’m living proof of what the mercy of God can do
If you knew me then, you’d believe me now
He turned my whole life upside down, He took the old and He made it new
That’s just what the mercy of God can do’

The song ‘Mercy’ was written by Chris Brown, Jason Ingram, and Dante Bowe. It was released on their collaborative album, Old Church Basement, in 2021. In this acoustic rendition of the song, Chris Brown is performing. He is singing in a hallway with his beautiful voice, and his incredible guitar playing perfectly complements it.

“This needs to be released on all streaming platforms! So well done. Contemplative and worshipful,” one person writes on YouTube after watching the music video.

“Listening to this had me in tears. God’s mercy really picked me up when I didn’t think I’d make it. This song is my story in melody,” another person comments online.

When you listen to the lyrics to this song from Elevation Worship, many key points from scripture are highlighted. One would be from 2 Corinthians 5:17, reminding us that we are new creations based on God’s mercy. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Another scripture that the song calls back to is John 10:10, reminding us that we can find freedom in Christ.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this acoustic rendition of Elevation Worship’s ‘Mercy’ today! May the song remind you of God’s unending grace and love for us all.

Check out this beautiful performance from The Petersens of the song ‘How Great Thou Art.’ Their bluegrass rendition is absolutely wonderful, and the harmonies sound lovely. This talented family band is sure to bring a smile to your face and encourage your soul!

‘Oh Lord, my God, when I, in awesome wonder, 
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, 
Thy power throughout the universe displayed’

The Petersens are a family band that performs full-time in Branson, Missouri. They celebrate American roots music with a focus on family values. The band consists of four siblings —Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne —and their mom, Karen, as well as good friend Emmett Franz.

When filming this music video, the family chose the chapel at College of the Ozarks as the setting. This is where Katie, Ellen, and Matt went to college. 

“One of my favorite hymns sung by my favorite vocalist. Well done Petersens,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the music video.

“It's not just the excellent performance, it's the anointing by the Holy Spirit. And I felt it,” writes another person online.

As for the background of ‘How Great Thou Art,’ the hymn started in Sweden in 1886, and it is fascinating to hear how the song made its way to the United States. Author and editor Carl Boberg originally wrote ‘How Great Thou Art’ as a poem. Later, those words were set to a Swedish folk tune. Then, in 1907, Manfred von Glehn translated it into German, and five years later, a Russian pastor named Ivan Prokhanoff created a Russian adaptation.

Then, in the early 1920s, Rev. and Mrs. Stuart Hine left their home in England and went to Poland as missionaries. That’s when they heard the Russian adaptation of ‘How Great Thou Art.’ Reverend Hine decided to write the English lyrics and make his own arrangement of the Swedish melody. After going through many iterations, we have the beloved ‘How Great Thou Art’ hymn that we know today. 

We hope you enjoyed listening to this version of ‘How Great Thou Art’ from The Petersens today!

This beautiful performance of “I’d Rather Have Jesus” is soul-stirring and powerful. It is one rendition of the beloved tune you’ll want to return to and listen to repeatedly. Watch this short but moving clip to hear this lovely performance of “I’d Rather Have Jesus,” a tune that is near and dear to the hearts of many.

Most people seek something real, authentic and long-lasting, that has staying power and will stand the test of time. Unfortunately, they aren’t likely to find it in this place. Everything in this world is temporary. Nothing on Earth will last forever; everything has an expiration date.

All the clothes, money and other signs of wealth and riches will fade away. Even our time in this place is limited and will eventually end. But there is one who will and does last forever: Jesus Christ. His love, mercy and grace have no endpoint; they have withstood the test of time. So, anyone who puts their faith, trust and hope in anything or anyone other than in Jesus Christ is nothing more than a fool.

In a clip posted on YouTube, an unbelievably talented group of musicians performs “I’d Rather Have Jesus.” The tune speaks to the temporary nature of what many people strive for and aspire to—money and fame—and how Christ and His love and forgiveness will never fade away. The song’s lyrics are beautifully written and powerful and their meaning is timeless.

“I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I’d rather be His than have riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or land
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand”

This is such a powerful tune, wonderfully performed, about where our hope, faith and trust should be placed: Jesus Christ. He will never let us down, is forever faithful and is the same today, yesterday and forevermore.

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.”

A family band has turned in powerful a cappella renditions of “I Sing” and “How Great Thou Art.” They all demonstrate they have been incredibly blessed with an immense amount of musical talent and ability. Watch the short but delightful clip of this family band’s lovely and moving performances of “I Sing” and “How Great Thou Art,” songs that are known and beloved by many.

Talents and abilities come in many different shapes, forms and areas. For instance, some people (not me) are gifted with their hands and can build and put together anything without ever looking at a set of directions. They instinctively know how things work and how they should fit together. That ability and know-how have always fascinated me because they are skills and talents I do not possess.

Others have been blessed with the ability to make beautiful music by either playing an instrument or vocalizing lyrics. While many unique and interesting musical instruments exist, we can all agree that one tops all the rest: the human voice. It’s the most versatile, and the only one that can bring listeners to tears.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a family uses their beautiful voices to praise and worship the Lord. The Hudson Harmony Band stays true to its name as they deliver stunning, jaw-dropping and chilling harmonies while performing “I Sing” and “How Great Thou Art.” There isn’t a flat or dropped note throughout the entire clip. It is literal music to the ears, a most enjoyable musical performance.

Their seamless transition from “I Sing” to “How Great Thou Art” is nearly perfect. The arrangement and the way they do it make the two songs sound like one continuous tune (which is the entire point, I guess).

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.”

An inspired plea for peace in a world that seems to be running amok with no compassion or respect for human life. So much innocent blood being sacrificed while nothing changes. Only a return to love will accomplish what everyone wants and needs. It's time, Lord!

History made in Music City! Today we celebrated the official ribbon cutting of the brand-new Museum of Christian & Gospel Music in downtown Nashville and the long-awaited home of the GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame. TN Gov. Bill Lee, Dr. Bobby Jones, and artists including Natalie Grant, Rachel Lampa, Terrian, and so many more joined us for this unforgettable moment. For the first time ever, Christian and Gospel music’s rich history has a permanent home, just steps from the Ryman. From precious artifacts to interactive displays, this museum is a place where legacies are honored and the music lives on. 🙌

It has drive; it has optomism; and it encourages. Written around 1975, this is one of the many songs composed by John Steffensen.

From stepping out of a longtime duo to finding her voice as a solo artist, Kelly Alayna has been on quite a journey of faith and music. She sat down with Godtube Music’s Brandon Woolum in Nashville to talk about her powerful new single “Purpose” (and the viral dance that came with it!), the story behind her first-ever song “Take Me Back to Church,” and how God has been opening doors for her family since moving to Music City.

Country duo 2 Lane Summer stopped by the Godtube Music Studio in Nashville to perform a special acoustic version of their brand-new single “When You Love Somebody.” With their signature harmonies and heartfelt storytelling, Joe Hanson and Chris Ray bring this love song to life in a raw and intimate way.

Rising Christian Country singer-songwriter Lakelin Lemmings treated us to a powerful acoustic performance of the beloved hymn “How Great Thou Art” during her visit to the Godtube Music Studio in Nashville. The 19-year-old West Tennessee native, recently signed to Stone Country Records, brings heartfelt faith and raw sincerity to every note, offering a moving reminder of God’s greatness.

Giovanna Diaz and Mass Anthem give a stunning performance in this simple and peaceful worship cover. Take a moment to breathe, relax, and worship our great God. Watch this powerful ‘Same God’ cover that will stir your soul.

Giovanna is set against a simple white background. The video is as if you are watching her pray out in song to the Lord. You will love the sweet soprano tone that she has in her voice, the purity of hitting notes with such lightness, and confidence. 

It is really easy to listen to her precious voice. The quality in her sound reminds us of the lightness that Jesus gives us when we go to Him with our burdens. He tells us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. 

Maybe you are seeing this video, and you are in the midst of a storm? The burdens of this life seem too great to bear. No matter what is going on in your heart, Jesus is with you, and He wants to lift the burden and ease your pain in this world. 

Our struggle with sin and hurt will never fully be gone on this side of heaven, but He gives us His victory through His death and resurrection. We can live with hope! 

As you read the lyrics while Giovanna sings, they will remind you of who God has always been and how He is glorified in amazing ways throughout the generations. He hears our prayers, He provides, He is the same God today that He has always been. He is unchanging. While you listen to this beautiful cover, be reminded and prayerful about the nature of the Lord who is always the great I Am.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Enjoy this peaceful and wonderful cover. Sarah will invite you into a genuine moment of praise. Watch this moving rendition of Brandon Lake’s worship anthem ‘Gratitude.’

This popular worship song is always wonderful for reminding us to have hearts of thanksgiving to God. At the beginning of this video, we see a young woman at a piano in her home. Sarah is playing the piano and singing at the microphone. You will quickly recognize that she is a skilled pianist. 

She has such ease and strength as she plays the keys. Sarah smiles and clearly has such joy as she worships God with music. 

You will love that this song is so authentic and prayerful. It is beautiful to hear a woman’s rendition with the tenderness that she brings. Perhaps you are feeling like you do not have the words to say in your current situation? Sing this song as a prayer to God. Sing-along with Sarah in the relaxed setting of her home. 

The chorus the sings out:

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
'Cause all that I have is a hallelujah                                                                                  
Hallelujah

We can often be at a loss for words in our lives. Hardship is inevitable in this sin-filled world. However, when we have God’s Spirit in us through Jesus’ sacrifice, we can somehow find gratitude in the midst of our challenges and sorrows. 

The Lord is worthy of all praise. We can bring Him gratitude even though we are weary and worn. 

On the bridge, Sarah utilizes a wide range of vocal abilities. She is tender and then powerful. She does a great job of tone painting the song. It is as if we are in the living room with her, joining in the song to celebrate Jesus together. 

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

This powerful rendition of "Goodness of God" will move your heart. This version of the beloved contemporary Christian tune deserves to be listened to repeatedly. Watch the short but moving clip to hear this stunning, jaw-dropping vocal performance.

Contemporary Christian music is a genre that continues to grow in popularity, with its many songs about Christ's love, mercy and grace. More and more churches have chosen those popular, modern songs to fill their Sunday morning services' praise and worship portion over the more traditional, old church hymns. Additionally, some Christian music artists have experienced success on pop radio, such as Lauren Daigle, MercyMe and Brandon Lake.

Like every other genre of music, there are classics when it comes to contemporary Christian music. These are typically the songs that continued to get covered by anybody and everybody with a microphone. "You Say," by Lauren Daigle and Hillsong UNITED's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) are two that immediately come to mind.

However, Bethel Music and Jenn Johnson's "Goodness of God" also frequently receives the cover treatment. In a clip posted on YouTube, Stephen McWhirter adds his name to the ever-growing list of musicians who have covered "Goodness of God," and his version is fantastic.

It's understandable why "Goodness of God" gets performed and covered at such an impressively high rate. It's a beautifully written tune about the loving, forgiving and faithful God we serve. It also doesn't hurt that the song has one of the catchiest choruses you've heard within the last decade or song.

"'Cause all my life You have been faithful
And all my life, You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God"

"Goodness of God" is a memorable and iconic tune, and Stephen's acoustic cover of this song is simply delightful. His unique, unmistakable voice adds so much character and meaning to every song he performs.

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."
