"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)

"I Love to Praise Your Name" by Chrystal: Worship That Survives the Storm

A declaration of consistent devotion and faithfulness to God (by Jasper Tan) Chrystal Williams-Alberty’s “I Love to Praise Your Name” is a beautiful and heartfelt contemporary praise and worship song. The song focuses on our devotion and adoration to our God. The lyrics are simple but deep in expression. Reminding us that to worship God is a lifelong commitment, and we should always give our gratitude and faithfulness to our loving God. The song shares a message that is similar to Psalm 34:1 —  “I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Chrystal came up with the song from her own personal experiences where she wants to praise God even in her most difficult times. This shows us that praising God isn’t just when things are going our way, but even in the most trying times; our devotion and faithfulness to him must remain constant. This is what makes this song beautiful because it came from a place of sincerity and raw honesty. Chrystal shows her unw...

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...

"I'm Still Going to Praise You" by Die Taube: Choosing Praise in the Waiting

Can worship survive a season without answers?  Some seasons don’t resolve on schedule. “I’m Still Going to Praise You” by Die Taube ( ‘the dove’ ) was born from one of those seasons — infertility sitting alongside a father’s cancer diagnosis, disappointment stacking on disappointment. The song is part of an upcoming album, Pilgrimage, releasing one song per month until December. The album is a crossing, not a recovery, not getting back to who one was but coming through changed. The opening line of the song sets the whole tone: “Thank You has no seasons, worship does not wait.” God’s worthiness does not depend on our circumstances. Even when circumstances stay unresolved, we decide to look beyond our circumstances to praise and worship Him.  Notice what the second verse admits. “When I feel like I’ve got nothing and other times so much”  — our praises aren’t conditional on constant victory. The song is honest about fluctuating faith, and pairs it with a steady choice underneat...
