The Jesus Followers | Pray for the Bad, Pray for the Good (CEDM)


'The Jesus Followers' are a missionary family based in New Zealand. Titus, a member of the family, made a personal commitment to producing FREE Christian music that would encourage the next generation, yet remain faithful to the Bible. 

Let me share with you this interesting fact... Titus is not a professional music producer, but rather he calls himself "just a music lover who collaborates with talented people to create songs aimed at teaching the Bible and glorifying God". These are his first two works! 

It is inspiring to see how God is able to use our talents and bless the work of willing hands for His glory.

'Pray for the Bad, Pray for the Good' is a beautifully made track based on Matthew 5:43-47. "You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?"



Lyrics:

You have heard that it was said
You shall love your neighbor and your friends
And hate your enemy
But I tell you it’s not true
For those who curse you
You shall pray
Pray for the bad
Pray for the good
The power is His
It’s all we should
Do while we’re here
Keep your brothers near!
Let His will be done
Let His will be done
Let Your kingdom come
Let’s all engage our hearts! 
Our Father in Heaven, makes the sun rise 
On the good and the evil
He sends rain, on everyone, just and unjust
Pray for the bad
Pray for the good
The power is His
It’s all we should
Do while we’re here
Keep your brothers near!
Let His will be done
Let His will be done
Let Your kingdom come
Let’s all engage our hearts!
Therefore perfect you shall be,
As your Father in Heaven, is
Therefore perfect you shall be,
As your Father in Heaven, is
Let His will be done
Let His will be done
Let Your kingdom come
Let’s all engage our hearts!
Let’s all engage our hearts!

'Love Might Not Wait' by Jeff H. Ulrich - A Melodic Invitation to Embrace Divine Redemption

I hear echoes of sacred scripture in Jeff H. Ulrich's 'Love Might Not Wait,' rekindling our connection to the divine and calling our hearts toward eternal love. This song is an enthralling testament to God's love and the promise of His soon return. This song is a call to timely repentance set against timely observations of a world that sees good as evil and light as darkness. Ulrich's lyrics gently implore us: 'Are you captive in time to a world of no meaning? But there is the love that liberates.' It emphasizes God's love as the ultimate liberator, and a beacon calling out to all souls. It's a reminder, like a plea from a kindred spirit, that we are not abandoned to darkness, but are the intended recipients of divine love that gave His Son for us. His love is not an abstract concept; rather, it is a gift steeped in profound sacrifice, as demonstrated by Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Listening to 'Love Might Not Wait' is like being on the

'God of Israel' by Sean Feucht: Rising Above Division with Melodies of Unity

As we travel through the turbulent times of today, we discover a divine serenity that transcends cultural divides and societal unrest in the profound harmonies of Sean Feucht's song 'God of Israel.' This is not just another work of contemporary Christian music; it is a prayer that rises like the morning sun from America's heart to the farthest reaches of the globe. Sean Feucht, a Christian from the United States, collaborates with Israeli Jew Yair Levi and Lebanese Christian Carine Bassili to create a melodic message of unity and peace. The song, which is sung in Hebrew, Arabic, and English, speaks of the joy of seeking God's enduring presence while also promoting the virtues of peace and unity in our divided world. The echoes of 'God of Israel' call us all to unite under the sovereign banner of the God of Abraham, whether we are from the bustling cities of America, the tranquil corners of Lebanon, or amid the fiery war in the land of Israel. The lyrics and
