Michael W. Smith - Forever - Live (CCM)

Michael W. Smith has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Forever - Live. Some fans may think: "So what's so special about that? The song was released in 2012!?!". The big difference is the location where this was recorded (Nashville, TN), and the fact that this version of the song was recorded with a symphony orchestra! This release is so impressive! The attached video is a preview of the first 9 minutes of the Worship Forever concert event, 20 years in the making.... The full 90-minute concert will be broadcasted today (on Friday, September 10, 2021) at  8 pm, 9:30 pm, and 11pm eastern time exclusively on TBN for free (Free streaming on-demand at http://watch.tbn.org). This album, WORSHIP FOREVER, is available right now wherever you stream music (Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora and all other major streaming services). Lyrics:  Give thanks to the Lord, Our God and King His love endures forever For He is good, He is above all things His love endures fo

Rowland Sunday - Take All The Glory (Te Dou Toda Glória/Recibe La Gloria) (CCM)

Rowland Sunday's EP 'Community of Praise, Vol. 1' has another song that we want to share with you. The (CCM) song is called 'Take All The Glory (Te Dou Toda Glória/Recibe La Gloria)'. Parts of this song are sung in Portugees and Spanish. We are touched by this group! The ingredients that make us want to listen to more songs are difficult to describe, but I trust that it becomes clear as you watch the video and listen to the passion with which the lyrics are shared.  Rowland summarized this song in the following manner: "In the place of devotion, God speaks, and our mouth opens up, and sing in Praise and worship to Him the Most High - Take all the Glory Jesus!" Lyrics: Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh! Solo: Take all the glory oh take all the glory Take all the Glory it’s from my heart Take all the glory oh take all the glory Take all the Glory it’s from my heart Verse: (everyone unison) Wonderful God you’re the stream of life that flow

Jared Cooper - Five Smooth Stones (CCM)

This song is an anthem of victory and a declaration for anyone who feels inadequate compared to the challenges they may be facing. David’s Faith was always in God and not in his own ability. When we place our faith in God, he can as simple as 5 smooth stones to take the giants in our lives.

Is Your Songwriting Inspiration-Dependent?

Is Your Songwriting Inspiration-Dependent? by Kapa Freeman Talent may be keeping you from your songwriting goals, but not in the way you think. There's an idea in the songwriting community that's really harmful. It's the idea that you have to have "talent" to write songs that people love. I know, because I used to think that too. It was crippling. When you run into negative feedback on your songs, you feel like you should quit because you "Just don't have the gift.". We get this idea because hit songwriters make it look so easy, but watch any documentary on a hit songwriter's life and you'll see how many bad songs came before their good ones... and how many drafts went into the classic ones. Talent can actually be a songwriter's handicap if it's not combined with skill. The talent-only songwriter essentially relies on inspiration to give them songs that people connect with, but inspiration can be a crutch... a pretty unreliable crutch

Fishburn - Pray To Me (CCM)

Fishburn has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Pray To Me. It is a fun little song about "Praying", featuring Jon Becker from Germany! We all do it (whether we admit it or not)! This is "Kygo-esque" message to not forget about praying in times of need. This post also contains a beautiful video tht really helps to bring the message across that prayer is always needed. We asked Russ what the story is behind this beautiful song. Russ shared: "Back in April of this year, I was working on an online music production class, and we all had multiple song projects we were working on with various tracks & songs. This song started as a "friend to friend" song called "Talk To Me", but through the process of molding & forming it, I was inspired to change it to a "Jesus to Us" song and it turned into "Pray To Me". This past year has been a trying year with Covid, and people dying, and jobs changing &am

Damara Melissa - BRAVE (CCM)

Damara Melissa has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called BRAVE. Damara wrote BRAVE in response to the supernatural work that God did in her life in 2020. She writes: "He rid me of my fear of man, and gave me the courage to step into my calling - to write songs and share them for His glory. I hope BRAVE inspires others to live fearlessly for Jesus." Lyrics:  Trapped in my fear, held by self-doubt You whisper child, don’t be so down Lift up my head, sing me a chorus You have a plan, I have a purpose Oh I can do, what you call me to You make me brave, you make me brave In the darkest night, I will stand and fight Cuz You light my way, you light my way You make me brave, you make me brave You make me brave, you make me You shower me, with love and kindness I surrender my heart, you shatter the darkness Call me to go, use all I’m given Tell ‘em we can be free, from every prison Oh I can do, what you call me to You make me brave, you make me brave When I face t

Olly Kiff - When I Survey (Love Amazing) (CCM)

Olly Kiff has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called When I Survey (Love Amazing). The original version of this song was written by Isaac Watts back in 1707. Charles Wesley, who wrote more than 6,000 hymns, reportedly said he would give up all his hymns to have written this one. Olly shares: "This hymn has always been my favorite and I hope this version (with an additional tag at the end) does this song justice. The last lines of verse 4 get me every time: 'Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life, my all'." The lyrics: Verse 1: When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride Verse 2: Forbid it Lord that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His blood Verse 3: See from His head His hands His feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down Did e’er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose s

Harley's new single "Mashup Prophetic" (CCM FR)

Harley surprises you with a music genre that has elements from Jazz to Hip-Hop, assembled by a Pop/RnB beat, ending with a Funk-soul flavor all arranged with beautiful Gospel harmonies in the French language. Harley's song "Mashup Prophetic" grew out of a statement meant to take away preconceived notions and cultural differences about what true worship is; a thought that came to him periodically and deepened. He had a flash of inspiration one night, which threw him in front of a large "tuning fork" that said: "Stay tuned to the frequency of the prophet" . Through this brutal flash of inspiration, the Prophetic Mashup led him on an amazing journey to artistic fulfillment and achievement. Harley explains that the Prophetic Mashup is meant to be scripted and performed in order to make the message clear.  The song mixes:  1) Touched by the wall of sound (relating the experience of a person raptured at the beginning of everything and hearing the reality ans
