"Tell The World" by JIMMY ROCK, featuring K Anthony, is a high-energy song with a clear mission: to inspire you to shine the light of His gospel into the world. The song comes from a desire to spread God's love into the world… a 'world' that is on a downward slope toward more and more hate and intolerance. The 'world' isn't going to heal by itself.  This song is a call to action and a celebration of faith in motion. "This song is about showing God's love and preaching the gospel everywhere," Jimmy explains. The song reminds us of a passage in Matthew 5:14–16, "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."   The opening lines set the tone: "We ...

"Angels and Fire" by Calm The Storm is a gritty yet melodic rock/alternative track born from A.J. Ogg's life-changing journey of faith. Once an atheist battling alcoholism, Ogg found hope in surrendering to God and embracing the fullness of the gospel.  Calm The Storm is a prophetic invitation, a break from our daily noise, to experience the nearness of their Creator and a love that is impossible for us to fully comprehend.  The lyrics cry out with anticipation: "Oh Jesus, Return to us // Oh Messiah, Take Your throne." It reflects our common longing for His return, that day when He'll "split the sky with vapor of smoke and thunder and lightning." Ogg sings "Every eye will see," reminding us of His undeniable arrival. Revelation 1:7a "Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; …" He paid the price for us, and that is why we may sing, "We've been washed in the blood of ...

"All I Know (To My Knees)" a beautiful song by Estella Kirk, and features Hunter Plake. Estella describes the song as "an invitation to trade exhaustion for intimacy with Jesus—offering peace in the middle of uncertainty." Inspired by Psalm 23, the song captures the beauty of surrender and His unconditional love, "thought that you would find me appalling." There is always a way forward, to better, not because we have everything figured out, but because we trust the One who's preparing the table for us.  Estella explains, "If I never fully understand God's love, at least I know this: He's preparing a place of rest. The kind of rest that feels like sitting with my closest friends or family." He offers us a safe haven and reminds us that He is there when we fall, "Never thought I'd be the one falling // Lost in your gaze." At times life can feel overwhelming, a deafening noise that distracts us from feeling His presence...

"Manna from Heaven" by Angela Charles is a beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness and encourages us to stand firm in every trial or challenge we may face. Angela highlights that "despite how difficult times may get, victory is the Lord's, and our enemy is defeated!"   The lyrics of the song are filled with examples of this confidence: "When water's deep and I can't stand // You are my mountain, God, You are my land." It's a reminder that even when we surrender, "When giving up, I lift my hands," God remains unshakable. The song recalls some of the miracles: "You sent Manna from Heaven // You split the Red Sea // You fed the 5000," and shows how this applies to us, "I know you won't forget me." As we have seen in the past and in the present, God provides and protects when we place our trust in Him and follow His lead.  God knows exactly where we are and what we are going through: "In darkest t...

The 20th Anniversary Edition of “A Love So Real” by Thoughts And Notions is a reimagined classic of theirs. It has the 90’s pop/rock vibe, with a few modifications, and retells a message about God’s unwavering love. As the band recreates 20th Anniversary Editions of their favorites, it feels like stepping into a nostalgic time machine. The world has changed, but God's immense love for us has never changed! It's a message worth retelling for the many early-day fans that are now going through their mid-life challenges. Thoughts and Notions sing about feelings of brokenness: “My days have darkened and it looked so bleak // For my troubles made me weak.” The song points out that we're not going to find the answer inside ourselves, “Though I had no hope // Though I had no love,” and here it comes.... “You’re my shining light.” No matter what we're going through, the key to real change is God! He paid it all for us, He prepared the way forward, “I’m saved by a love so real...

"Back to Life" by James Bizak is a raw, high-energy pop punk track with a bold Christian truth… Whenever we are feeling broken or lost, we will find hope and redemption in Jesus. The choice of this genre is intended to reach a wider audience, as well as more youth, right where they are—possibly feeling broken, abandoned, or even feeling dead inside.  The lyrics reflect a pain and emptiness that so many people are feeling: "I've been broken // Beaten down // My faith stolen." The song acknowledges our feelings of despair, and even more important, it points us to hope, "There's power in your blood // There's power in the name of Jesus." With lines like "When I was dead inside // You brought me back to life," the lyrics emphasize that redemption and restoration can only be found in Him.  James Bizak highlights that Jesus has ultimate authority over darkness, "You see me surrounded // The demons fall back. // … // A sea of never e...

"Psalm 3 (Save Me)" by Red Letter Society (featuring Jordan West) revamps a well-known prayer into a modern song filled with joy and confidence. Red Letter Society with Jordan West is on a mission to revamp all of the Psalms, and this is the third release in that project. In Psalm 3, David wrote about his experience being surrounded by enemies. His enemies mocked the idea that his God would save him, but David had confidence in the Lord. He wrote about how he cried out to God and God heard him. Today, Psalm 3 is a reminder that God is our protector, glory, and refuge whenever we face challenges/hardships in our lives.  Even though there are—literally—thousands of people against him, David's faith is not shaken (Psalm 3:3–6). David's plea echoes in the song: "O Lord, my God, save me again // So many foes to resist." It's easy to feel overwhelmed, David prays for God to protect him and help him to keep his focus, just like we can ask God to shield us, ...
