Jenna Northwood's 'Gotta Keep': Finding Strength in the Song


Jenna Northwood wrote the song 'Gotta Keep' when she was going through a difficult time. The song is a testament to Jenna's steadfast faith. It's a rallying cry for everyone who is toughing it out. The beat of the song? A single line: 'Gotta Keep, Gotta keep it all together.'

Jenna Northwood - Gotta KeepJenna helps us to remember that we're not alone. Somedays the news can really hit your sense of safety and security, and you almost wish that you could just switch it off and pretend it's not happening. It's also in those moments that we are blessed with the assurance that God is always with us. He keeps us upright when things get rough. And it is in songs like 'Gotta Keep' where we find strongholds to help keep us strong and calm. Songs that help us to position events in a larger persective, changing how we perceive the news that comes by as well as the day-to-day challenges we face at work and home.

Jenna's song is a call to action, encouraging us to hold onto our hope, trust, faith, and a belief in God's constant presence. There is hope in this song, a hope that reminds us that God will carry us through all circumstances and with His help, all will be okay.

(Related scripture: Deuteronomy 31:6; Psalm 46:1-2; Philippians 4:13)

"Back to Life" by James Bizak: Power in the Name of Jesus With Pop Punk Sound

"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...

"Holy Flame" by Josh Grove - Talented Young Voice Inspires with Worship

Have you already heard Josh Grove's new song, "Holy Flame"? It's an upbeat worship song written and performed by Josh, and what makes this release even more intriguing is that Josh is a super talented 15-year-old singer-songwriter. He first shared this song at a youth event, and the response was so amazing that he was signed up by NRT. This release is the studio version. The song is all about the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, and celebrates God's constant goodness and grace. The lyrics remind us that He is with us in every moment, day, or night, through both joy and hardship.  With lyrics like "I see You rising like a wave // I see Yo u falling like the rain," Josh emphasizes that we can see God in every situation. He's right there with us through all of our ups and downs, offering us hope and ready to guide us (if we reach out and listen). "You're by my side // Until the end of time." What I also find very exciting is that i...
