"Your Kingdom - Live" by Justin Barnett: Anticipating Christ's Eternal Reign


Justin Barnett's "Your Kingdom—Live" captures the heart of anticipation and encourages us to think about what it means to long for Christ's return. A song that was recorded at Riverside Revival in East Nashville and written by John Chisum & Bonnie J. Barbey. 

Justin Barnett - Your Kingdom - LiveThe song looks at the fact that we're already citizens of heaven and that we ache for the day when Christ's kingdom fully comes. It makes it clear that we live between a promise and the fulfillment of that promise. Barnett sings about Christ's kingdom being characterized by love, mercy, and power, and how it touches our present reality. 

The lyrics encourage us to recognize our identity in Christ. We are "children of light," and are called to lift our praises and anticipate the moment "when we look on Your face." The lyrics also links its message to the Lord's prayer, "let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on earth as in heaven," where the prayer is both a petition to God and a proclamation of our faith. 

Go ahead and give this song a listen. May it help to grow your longing and remind you of your ultimate citizenship, as children of light, sons and daughters of a Heavenly Father, where we may stand together as the children of Heaven.

(Related scripture: Matthew 6:9-10; 2. 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 22:20)

"Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" by Century Worship: A Palm Sunday Call to Rejoice the King

Century Worship's "Hosanna (Palm Sunday) [Live]" is a joyful gathering cry: "Can you hear it in the distance? The King is coming." The song takes us back to the Palm Sunday moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem, humble and righteous. The lyrics invite us to gather because something is happening. The King is approaching - not with spectacle, but with humility, faithfulness, and saving grace.  Our response is that of expectation, not spectatorship. This is worship that moves us and lifts our eyes. Instead of holding back, we're encouraged "raise up your voices" and prepare the way by laying down symbols of surrender. "Oh lay down your branches, make way for the Savior."   So, why does this song matter today? Because it reminds us that worship is both a response and a declaration. Rejoice, make room, and speak it out! We're reminded of His goodness "to save us, to change us, to bring us home again," and it anchors our hope: ...

"Lord You Are So Awesome" by Mario Tucker: Turning Everyday Moments into Praise

“Lord You Are So Awesome” by Mario Tucker is a reminder that worship doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be powerful. The song is based on the fact that what matters the most is that God’s greatness deserves our constant praise. Our praise doesn't have to meet any quality standards for it to be pleasing to God. So, ask yourself... when was the last time that you took a moment to say, “Lord you are so awesome / Lord you are so great / Your name is above the Heavens”? This song invites you to be constantly aware of God’s greatness, and that includes awareness outside the walls of church, like during car rides, your quiet time, and those precious triumphs in life. It's an awareness that leads to response. “So let’s praise and magnify your name.” Praise is not a matter of passively observing and responding... it’s a call to turn your admiration into active devotion. Think about it for a moment: what would change in your life if praise became your first reaction instead of ...

"Heaven On Earth" by Eauclaire: Finding Sacred Wonder in the Everyday

Have you ever struggled to see God's presence in your daily life? After a few chaotic days, it is easy to lose sight of the sacred. "Heaven On Earth" by Eauclaire is all about discovering the sacred in the everyday. An interesting fact is that the song was written beneath the "Looking Glass Arch" at the Heaven on Earth Music Festival in Moab, Utah (USA).  The song emphasizes that heaven isn't just a distant promise. And best of all, we don't need a "looking glass" to see that heaven is right here. So, instead of looking "out in the atmosphere," Eauclaire reminds us to simply "take a minute, take a breath," and get out of your head and into your chest.  Do you trust that God will order your steps, even when life gets heavy? Sure, easy to forget to see His hand around you, and the beauty is that you already have the ability to find His beauty and Love in the "wild flowers," the "golden hour," and even t...
