"Jesus, I Love You"by Derrick McDuffey & Kingdom Sound: When Words Fail, Sing Your Praise


Derrick McDuffey & Kingdom Sound released a song called "Jesus, I love You". "Jesus, I love You," three simple words, but these words carry more weight than a lifetime of sermons. The original song was written by the late James Hamler in the mid-90s, and Derrick McDuffey & Kingdom Sound are breathing new life into it with this release. The words "Jesus, I love You" are a mantra that every Christian may feel deep in their heart. Can you feel it? Do you hear that quiet whisper in you saying, "Lord, I want to thank you"? This song gives you the words for those moments in life when all other words fail. 

Derrick McDuffey & Kingdom Sound - Jesus, I Love You"I cannot tell it all // All You've done for me"… How many times have you stood before God (in prayer) with tears in your eyes, and nothing you can say really expresses the gratitude that you feel? Just like the lyrics in this song, our prayers don't have to be poetic. God isn't waiting for beautiful words. He wants to hear our raw thoughts, straight from the heart. He asks us to be real. 

Go ahead and follow the example given in this song. Start your conversation with God with a personal confession: "Jesus, I love You // I cannot tell it all // All You've done for me." James Hamler and now Derrick McDuffey create a vulnerability that sets the tone for a deeper understanding of His redemption and grace. 

What's beautiful is that we don't have to do this on our own. There is a reason why God invites us to be part of His body, His church… This becomes more clear in the chorus, where we are invited to a joint affirmation: "Anybody that loves the Lord // Let me hear you say 'yes, oh yes!'" This isn't a solo journey. We're invited to be part of a community and rise together. We don't need perfect pitch. We just need an open heart. 

So sing it, shout it, whisper it in your car, your kitchen, or at your bedside. May this truth echo beyond your lips. We all need to remember why we love Him!

(Related scripture: 1 John 4:19; Romans 5:8; 1 Peter 2:24)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
