"Great is Your Faithfulness" by DJ Sm1th: An Old Hymn in a New CEDM-style Variation


DJ Sm1th does it again, this time refitting the beloved old hymn "Great is Your Faithfulness" into a modern energetic track. DJ Sm1th was inspired to reimagine this hymn after realizing how deep and impactful the lyrics are, and knowing how the traditional genre can often fail to connect with the younger Christian generations. He modernized the sound and mixed it with a strong beat, creating a sound that today's generation enjoys (and he knows that the college men's group he mentors already loves it). 

DJ Sm1th - Great is Your FaithfulnessThe main message of the original hymn is still the same: it celebrates God's constant faithfulness, His ever-present mercy, and His endless support for us. "Great is Your faithfulness O God my Father // There is no shadow of turning with You. // You never falter Your love never wavers // Faithful and constant in all that You do." 

The song's lines, "Morning by morning Your mercies I see" and "All I have needed Your hand has provided," remind us that God is always present in our lives. "Seasons may change but Your love stands unshaken" and "You're the same God through all generations // Forever faithful forever my guide," lines that acknowledge the unchanging nature of God's love across all generations.

May this modern variation on the classic hymn touch your heart with the timeless message that His love is also there for you. He is standing at the door of your life and waiting for you to invite Him in.

(Related scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23; Psalm 36:5; James 1:17)

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

"Heaven Country" by Jensen & Company: Where Faith Meets Fiddles

Jensen & Company's 'Heaven Country' features Heidi Jensen North. It's a song that bursts with an infectious Texas swing energy, with steel guitars, fiddles, and washboard rhythms that pull you into the vibe. Beneath this melodic energy is a message with a promise: heaven isn't just a destination, it's a homeland where every tear is wiped away!  Can you imagine streets where lions walk with lambs, hunger vanishes, and divisions dissolve into unity? What a contrast compared with today's world! One of the lines that stands out: "There's no divide - there's just one side // The Son is shining every day."  What if we were to start living today as citizens of that eternal country? What's stopping us? The song challenges us: "All the love that you've acquired here - it's your money // Be sure to fill your account." It's a call to invest in what truly lasts. You've never seen its glory, never heard its songs - but...

"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....
