'Hope in The Morning' by James Kelso - Grooving with Grace and Truth


There's a new song that beutifully captures the feeling of frest start, like the sunrise that announces the beginning of a new day full of hope. The song is called 'Hope in the Morning' by James Kelso. It has a beat that gets your feet tapping and lyrics that cleanse your soul. It's a song for anyone who is seeking comfort in Jesus.

James Kelso - Hope In The MorningKelso's song is about our walk with Christ. The lyrics describe how empty and fake life was 'before him.' But then comes an encounter with Jesus, and life changes. Just like how each sunrise chases away the darkness, Jesus brings a fresh start, filling our lives with hope and peace, and each morning becomes a testament of His unwavering grace.

Some people look at the brokenness of life and question if God really exists. Kelso also sees a shattered world tainted by sin. He also sees the broken pieces that God is lovingly putting back together through Jesus. It's a sentiment that is easy for us to relate to because it reminds us of the grace and salvation that we all may find in Christ.

'Hope in the Morning' is a personal call to rejoice and walk in our divine calling. It's a funky beat with powerful lyrics that encourages you to move, both physically and spiritually. After all, each new day presents an opportunity, a walk with Jesus, a fresh start filled with His amazing grace.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

Brandon Lake - Praise You Anywhere (CCM)

'Praise You Anywhere' by Brandon Lake is a powerful anthem that encourages us to turn to praise in every season of life. No matter the circumstances we face, choosing to praise God will shift our perspective and ignite faith within us. The lyrics of the song remind us that in the midst of darkness, fire, and challenges, we can dance, sing, and praise God. We are called to worship even when it doesn't make sense and to boldly face the giants that stand before us. The song emphasizes the power of praising God in the highest, acknowledging His worthiness of all our praise. Brandon Lake's heartfelt message resonates with the reality that there are times when we find ourselves in prisons and battles. However, even in those moments, we can cry out to heaven, stand firm, and worship with our hands held high. The song encourages us to trust that God will bring us through, and in response, we will praise Him anywhere. The bridge of the song beautifully highlights God's faith...

"Listen to Our Hearts" by Avery Stafford: When Words Fall Short of Worship

Have you ever felt something that is so profound that you can't find the right words to describe it? How do you explain a love "that goes from east to west and runs as deep as it is wide" ? How do you describe something as simple as the flavor of a strawberry? That's the beautiful tension that Avery Stafford sings about in his cover of the song "Listen To Our Hearts."  "Listen To Our Hearts" is a classic praise and worship song written by Geoff Moore and Steven Curtis Chapman. Avery Stafford recorded it for his album "Undignified" in 2004, after discussing it with a friend following a worship concert. His friend was impressed by the jazz-influenced version of this beloved song and encouraged Avery to consider recording it. This recording features Tony Bolivar (saxophone). Until now, "Listen To Our Hearts" had never been released to radio.  The lyrics are about the moment when our words fall short, when even "a thousand year...
