"Bless His Name" by Kwame Acheampong H.: A Reggae Song of Gratitude


Kwame Acheampong H.'s reggae version of "Bless His Name" is a cheerful worship song. The lyrics were inspired by passages in Psalm 103. The song invites us to remember God's endless goodness and celebrate His faithfulness throughout the day. From the opening lines, it's clear that this is an invitation to reflect on the many blessings that we have received through His grace and respond with deep praise. "From the depths of my soul to the crown of my head," Kwame sings about God's overwhelming generosity, and you'll quickly find yourself joining the praise in the chorus. 

Kwame Acheampong H. - Bless His Name - Reggae VersionIn the chorus we may sing, "Bless His name, oh my soul… Your mercy is new in my life." Lyrics that remind us that worship isn't about being perfect but it's about recognizing God's hand and love in our lives and the people around us. God removes sins "like the east from the west" and renews us daily with His grace. His "compassion flows like a river that never runs dry." This is a song that feels as if His Spirit is dancing in our hearts, repeating praises that extend beyond the boundaries of any language. If you listen closely, you may notice that some parts of the lyrics are sung in Twi. 

This reggae-infused gem is not only a pleasure to listen to, but it also encourages believers to express their adoration for who God truly is. If you need encouragement or a spiritual boost to start your day, then this song is a must-listen. May the rhythm and truth help you to continue your day in God's way.

"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.

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...
