J Richmond - Hallelujah from the musical "Gethsemane" (CCM)


If you're a fan of uplifting music with a Christian theme, you should definitely check out the musical 'Gethsemane' by John Richmond. We selected the song 'Hallelujah' to introduce you to John's musical. The song serves as the grand finale to his musical, 'Gethsemane,' which explores the relationships between Nadi, his family, friends, and Jesus and his disciples during the historical events of 33AD in Israel. It is a song full of energy, that could be the next Christian anthem.

J Richmond - HallelujahThe lyrics are powerful and moving, reflecting on the meaning of life and the importance of faith. Singing about the memories of our past and how they linger in the air like fossils, wondering if anyone will care. The lyrics also ponder the fleeting nature of life and how we must hold on to our hopes and dreams, even in the face of suffering and pain.

But the overall message of the song is one of hope and celebration, as the joyful refrain of 'Hallelujah' is belted out. The music is divine and will connect with your soul, evoking deep emotions and inspiring you to push forward toward your goals.

So if you're looking for a musical that will lift your spirits and remind you of the power of faith, give the musical 'Gethsemane' by John Richmond a listen. It doesn't matter what your religion, sex, creed, or age is - this musical will appeal to anyone who loves a good story and uplifting music.

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
