"REVIVAL" by Chad Chaney: Igniting Worship and Renewal


Is there really hope for a Christian Revival movement in these current times? For worship leader Chad Chaney, hope is already here. And this is the premise of his song "Revival." As a worship leader, Chad has the privilege of witnessing people encounter Jesus for the very first time and watching their lives begin to change. And it truly is a sight of beauty and hope. It is through his song "Revival" that he sings about witnessing all these. These are not mere lyrics written from an imagination or inspiration, but in fact, it is his living testimony of seeing people turn their hearts back to Jesus, returning to his fold, and being one with God's promise of hope, love, and salvation. Just the sight of seeing people's voices lifted in praise, hands raised in surrender, and hearts opening to our Lord and Savior is truly an inspiration. 

Chad Chaney - REVIVALChad hopes that this song will be sung in churches across the country, stirring faith, inspiring courage, and celebrating the power of a changed life. And why not? The song has soul-stirring music that energizes us as we join in, as we find hope that a full revival is coming. 

Singing along to Chad's words transports us to be able to witness all of these through Chad's testimony. And if we still had any doubts left, the song further reinforces the promise that Jesus will return at the right time. And that time might just be now, as our world is facing different crises. But let us all believe that strongholds are breaking, healing is rising, and more and more people are turning to Jesus. It's time. It's time for REVIVAL.

(Related scripture: Psalm 85:6; Acts 3:19; 2 Corinthians 3:17)

'Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester: Encapsulating the Resilient Battle of Faith

Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester is a powerful Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song that confronts a universal and challenging issue — the battle with inner demons. Nestled within the soothing melody and catchy rhythm are impactful lyrics conveying despair, struggle, and ultimate redemption. As the song begins, 'All my life, I’ve been battling with my demons,' listeners are instantly embraced with understanding, compassion, and know they are not alone in their struggles. The profound lyrics echo the pain of life's battles and the weariness they create, yet they’re also filled with hope. We are reminded that even while we are lost and conflicted, God's presence becomes our refuge. As we heed the voice of Nester, immersed in sincerity and conviction, the lyrics resonate, 'So fill me with your fire. Until I feel it burning bright and all the darkness turns to light.' It is a plaintive cry for God's sanctifying fire — His divine intervention to ov...

What saddens me is that many Christian artists only scratch the surface of their music marketing possibilities. DIY-platforms, such...

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
