"If Jesus Could (Walk on Water)" by John Fumo & Robert Fumo: A Funky Call to Compassion


Have you ever considered Jesus’s actions as a benchmark for our own compassion? In their funky, soulful new track, John and Robert Fumo do just that. In their song, “If Jesus Could (Walk on Water)”, the brothers Fumo share how easy it is to be compassionate and loving in light of the accomplishments and miracles which Jesus performed. In other words, His incredible acts should make our own acts of kindness feel entirely achievable. 

John Fumo & Robert Fumo - If Jesus Could (Walk on Water)

For example, “If Jesus could …walk on water,” the lyrics challenge, “then we can …love one another.” There’s more… If He could feed thousands with a few fish and loaves, surely “it shouldn’t be hard to keep the people fed.” 

The song reframes Jesus’s acts into a call to action. Instead of seeing insurmountable problems, we are reminded that if Christ could “rise from the dead, // We could trade hate for love instead.” The song not only triggers a paradigm shift, but it also empowers. At its core, it reminds us of Jesus’s promise that through faith, we too can do great things. 

May this empowering song be your new inspiration. Go ahead, press play, and give the song a listen. Feel the groove, and let the lyrics help you see your daily opportunities for love… and find the strength to love your neighbor as yourself.

(Related scripture: John 14:12; John 13:34; Ephesians 4:32; 1 John 3:18)

"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 ...

"Mid-Broken Sea" by Krystal Dawn Land: When Faith Meets the Impossible

What does it feel like to stand at the edge of one of life's stormy seas, wondering if God sees you there? The seed for "Mid-Broken Sea" by Krystal Dawn Land was planted one early morning in March of 2024, somewhere between a deep sleep and waking up, when Krystal saw the words, "Mid-Broken Sea" appearing one letter at a time across white paper in an old typewriter. As she saw this title, she saw a sketch of ocean waves on each side. This picture kept coming back to mind throughout the following year. As the lyrics and melody shaped, the story danced between Biblical accounts and current ongoings of those we pray will trust God's hand and allow Him to lead them through their Broken Sea.  The message of this song isn't one of abstract theology. It's a practical lifeline for anyone who is going through one of life's storms and it places God center stage: "I'm trying to show you my hand, to lead you to the Promise Land." Notice the i...
