Olly Kiff - When I Survey (Love Amazing) (CCM)

Olly Kiff - When I Survey (Love Amazing)
Olly Kiff has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called When I Survey (Love Amazing).

The original version of this song was written by Isaac Watts back in 1707. Charles Wesley, who wrote more than 6,000 hymns, reportedly said he would give up all his hymns to have written this one.
Olly shares: "This hymn has always been my favorite and I hope this version (with an additional tag at the end) does this song justice.
The last lines of verse 4 get me every time:
'Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all'."

The lyrics:

Verse 1:
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Verse 2:
Forbid it Lord that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

Verse 3:
See from His head His hands His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Verse 4:
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

Tag:
Love amazing, grace unfailing
Lord Your saving love has brought me here
A love that demands every part of my life
Love amazing, grace unfailing
Lord Your saving love has brought me here
A love that demands every part of my life
Here I surrender my life

"Nothing Can Separate Us" by Divine Vibes: A Melodic House Drop Inspired By Romans 8

What if the one thing you've been searching for was by your side all the time? That's the question that Divine Vibes answers in his latest track "Nothing Can Separate Us." This track is a dance-pop and melodic-house collaboration with the Mexican artist Bervmen. The lyrics are based on Romans 8:38–39, and this production turns the scripture passage into a powerful and danceable anthem. Like always, the message of Divine Vibes is beautifully direct. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither present nor future can separate us from the love of God. You'll hear how the lyrics build on the previous line and dismantle every fear that could make you believe that God's love has limits. It doesn't, it can't, and this song makes that perfectly clear. What makes this track stand out is how Divine Vibes and Bervman deliver their message. You'll hear soaring vocals in a melodic house production that celebrates the joy found in the promises of R...

"Now And Forever" by John Perkins: When God's Faithfulness Outlasts Your Doubt

Doubt is a heavy thing to carry, and can cause one to question if these doubts could disqualify you from His presence? That's what "Now And Forever" by John Perkins is all about. It's a song about renewed faith and the stunning realization that God never leaves… even when you did.  John opens with honest praise: "You gave me breath when I was breathless // You gave me life when I wasn't there." That's not a performance or pretense… just an acknowledgement that our very existence is an act of grace. John shows us that the cross and His resurrection are very personal: "You showed me love through your crucifixion."   What makes this song very relatable is its refusal to dress up the struggle. Just like doubt didn't disqualify John from God's presence, your doubts won't disqualify you either. Weakness, low moments, our wavering faith — none of this can cause Him to break His promise. "Your word lifts me up when I'm feeling...

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
