"I Am (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford: A Majestic Declaration of God’s Glory


Avery Stafford's "I Am (Radio Edit)" is a breathtaking song that invites us into a moment of awe and worship as we celebrate the unmatched majesty of God. The song uses imagery of creation—from the "light of day" to the "peaks of Kilimanjaro"—as Avery points us back to the Creator. You'll quickly find yourself singing along with the refrain, "The Alpha and Omega—I Am," lyrics that emphasize God's eternal nature and remind that sovereign over all things.

Avery Stafford - I Am (Radio Edit)Avery wrote the song in 1995, when he moved from his youth ministry in Port Orchard, WA, to pursue music in Portland, OR. It became part of his groundbreaking work with One A'Chord and was later featured on his 2005 album "Undignified." Together with Tim Storms (known for his Guinness World Record-breaking vocals), he adds a unique richness to this timeless song. 

The song calls us to join in unity with heaven and declare, "All over heaven, hear our voices ringing!" Its message is clear: no matter where we are, we're invited to magnify His name and proclaim His glory. May this song bless you and its profound declaration of faith point your heart to God.

(Related scripture: Revelation 4:11; Isaiah 42:8; Exodus 3:14)

"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....
