He Restores My Soul is a reminder that even when the enemy tries to entangle us in fear, lies, and mental battles, we are not without refuge. We can run to God. We can anchor ourselves in His Word. And we can trust that He is actively restoring, healing, and holding us in His peace—day by day, step by step. This song isn’t just about healing that has already happened; it’s also about trusting God with the healing still to come, fixing our eyes on Him, and resting in the truth that His mercies are new every morning.

This song was written at the end of a long season in my healing journey—a season where I was finally ready not only to release my abusers, but to move forward in life without what they had done continuing to cast a shadow over me. For a long time, I couldn’t get out from under the weight of their actions or the lasting effects it had on my life. I hated them. I didn’t want them to receive salvation—I wanted them to suffer at least as much as they had made me suffer. But God had a better way. And in the end, I loved God more than I hated them, so I chose to follow His lead. What began as a reluctant willingness to pray for my abusers slowly turned into forgiveness. And eventually, God did something I never expected—He gave me a desire for their salvation. He worked powerfully in my heart during this season, and when this song was written, I knew I was ready to fully and completely release them. I don’t know if any of my abusers will ever hear this song or read these words. But if they did, I would want them to know this: God loves you. God wants you. And while what you did caused deep harm and stole my voice for a long time, you did not get the final word. I still sing. Because God heals—even the deepest wounds caused by the most vile sins committed against me. What was meant for evil has been redeemed and used for good. I have been restored. I have been made whole.

Matt Cooper delivers a powerful acoustic performance of his deeply personal song “Good God,” written in honor of his late mother. With raw honesty and heartfelt faith, Matt reflects on love, loss, and the tension of trusting God through grief. From hospital calls to hopeful prayers, this moving performance captures the ache of saying goodbye while holding on to the promise that God is still good.

“Good God” is a vulnerable reminder that even in heartbreak, there’s breath in our lungs, a song to sing, and Someone watching over us.

This song was years in the making. Thomas Roy "Suicide Tom" Watkins died from Congestive Heart Failure in the early morning hours of April 1, 2003, just 6 days shy of his 45th birthday. He lived in Watsonville, California, and I lived in Capitola. I ran a karaoke show around Santa Cruz County, and Tom set up the shows for me. He got his nickname by letting the karaoke DJs pick his songs. He did songs like “Barbie Girl” and “Man I Feel Like A Woman”, and people loved it. Imagine hearing the man in the image on the screen singing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. He brought life to every show. And then, he got sick. I wasn’t familiar with the symptoms of Congestive Heart Failure back then, but I knew he wasn’t simply suffering from a flu. So On March 21, 2003, a buddy and I took Tom to the ER at Dominican Hospital. The doctor had an x-ray and EKG done, and told Tom his heart was enlarged. Tom told him that enlarged hearts ran in his family. I now know that Congestive Heart Failure can be diagnosed with x-rays and EKGs, because my mother had it, and as her care giver, I was with her when they told her about that, and about her A Fib, and Coronary Artery Disease. But Tom’s doctor said nothing about Congestive Heart Failure. He stuck to the enlarged heart narrative - which was deceptive, since the autopsy showed that his heart was two and a half times the size of a normal heart. But then, Tom didn’t have insurance; so he was turned away in his hour of need. Ten days later, he was dead, and he didn’t have to be. He could have been saved, if only for a short time. And this was a Catholic hospital letting that man go to his death. Of course, the doctor may not have shared that ideology. Either way, even though they swept it under the carpet, and never answered for this crime, they still have to face the ultimate judge. They can’t hide from Him.

About the Song: The Journey on the Ark is a song about caring and loving in a deeper way — more than simply sharing life with someone. It is about loving enough to desire that the souls of those we cherish become our companions on life’s journey. The Ark in the song symbolizes the boat of grace of our Lord Jesus Christ — just as Noah’s Ark was salvation for a few from the waters of judgment. It represents protection, direction, and eternal security. The song is both an invitation and a declaration of love. It is the invitation of someone who longs to walk through life together — and also the invitation of the Bridegroom who calls His bride to journey with Him into eternity. “Join me on the journey on the ark” is therefore more than a romantic phrase. It is a spiritual call — to share not only life, but salvation and hope in the Hereafter.

Jamie MacDonald performs her powerful single 'Won’t Let Go' live during her album release party in Nashville. With heartfelt vocals and a room full of celebration, this special night marked a milestone moment as Jamie shared the message of hope and unwavering faith behind the song.

T. Graham Brown turned in a lively rendition of “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.” The incredibly talented musician’s lovely version of the beloved hymn is one that you, without a doubt, find yourself returning to again and again. Watch the short but powerful clip to see and listen to this upbeat performance of “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.”

Hymns are some of the most underutilized pieces of music. Yes, in many cases, they are extremely old, with some dating back hundreds of years. But simply because something has a little age on it is no reason to do away with it completely. That’s especially true if they are as powerful and wonderfully written as favorite, beloved church hymns.

Sadly, though, that is the direction things are going when it comes to hymns. A lot of people would rather hear contemporary Christian music. Many churches have even drifted away or even abandoned hymns altogether, which is fine, but none of them will ever match, let alone surpass, those hymns. It’s impossible to outdo “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “How Great Thou Art” or “Amazing Grace.” Those will forever and always be favorites.

In a clip posted on YouTube, T. Graham Brown performed one of those hymns that is near and dear to the hearts of many: “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.” Anyone who has spent any time in a church will likely be very familiar with this hymn about deepening their walk with and desiring a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. And that familiarity does not, in the slightest, lessen the song’s powerful and beautiful message.

“I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee”

One reason the hymn has endured over the years is that it describes a place we have all been at one time or another. Human beings are imperfect and weak, and if it were not for His love and grace, we would be lost and without any hope.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Oh, what a beautiful way to celebrate our risen Savior.

Filmed high in the quiet majesty of the Colorado mountains, Matthew lifts his voice in a powerful new arrangement of the beloved “Easter Song.” As the bells ring out, you can almost feel the joy of that first morning when the stone was rolled away and hope stepped out of the grave. The fresh sound carries the same timeless truth straight to the heart: Christ is risen, just as He said.

There is something so tender about hearing those words again, “He is risen.” It reminds us that we are not bound by yesterday’s mistakes or today’s worries. Because He lives, we can be born again. Because He conquered death, we can face tomorrow with courage and praise on our lips.

This worship moment, captured for the Christian music mentoring film “Pioneers,” feels both intimate and triumphant. It is the kind of song you want to sing with your hands lifted, maybe even with tears in your eyes. Joy to the world, He is risen. Hallelujah.

No matter what season you are walking through, the empty tomb still speaks. It tells us that God keeps His promises.

“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” - Matthew 28:6

Psalm 28 carries the urgency of a desperate plea, a voice calling out to God from the edge of silence and uncertainty.

Sometimes we see dark waters in life, but God is always there to see us through and lift the storm. Lyrics by Clare Steffen, Vocals, Music & Production by Raul Barba as a part of the Round The Globe project.

“Power of True Love” — The TEA Collective “Power of True Love” is a heartfelt reminder that real love isn’t built on emotion alone — it’s built on commitment, grace, forgiveness, and faith in God. Written from the middle of real-life struggles and real-life redemption, this song reflects the journey of choosing love even when it’s difficult… choosing faith when doubts are loud… and choosing each other because Christ first chose us. Rooted in the truth of 1 Corinthians 13, “Power of True Love” points to the kind of love that endures storms, heals wounds, and grows stronger through surrender to Jesus. This song is for anyone who has walked through brokenness, questioned their strength, and discovered that God’s love makes restoration possible. From The Drawing Board — a project about faith, forgiveness, and new beginnings. If this song speaks to you, share it, pray with it, and let it remind you: True love isn’t fragile. It’s powerful. Because it’s rooted in Him. The Power Of True Love w/m kevin mccullough Verse Storm filled horizons, innocence long gone, Daughter turns to mother, what did I do wrong, Frustration overtakes her Chorus Love is not the enemy Love is full of dignity And with hurts, the pain, love will prove it again Amazing the power of true love Verse So many storms in his past, yet his future does not die, The trauma of a lifetime, burned in his little eyes, True love overtakes him Chorus Interlude Chorus Chorus

Through the power of God, anything is possible. You only need faith to rise above this earthly chaos, and touch grace.

I wrote this song for the young women (and men) that I've known throughout my life, who felt like they didn't matter, that they had no purpose. Not all of them survived their depression. Some have left this world, but some are still with us, having had their own "come to Jesus" moments, as I did. Having been on the edge myself, wondering if the cliff was high enough to end my suffering, or low enough to cause more, I know how it feels to see yourself as invisible and purposeless. God took that away from me, and gave me a reason to believe in Him, and in myself.

I was going through some of my old poems, and I stumbled upon a short poem called "The Unicorn". It inspired me to broaden the story it told. I drew from my own childhood, the childhoods of my nieces and nephew, and the childhoods of an old flame’s daughters. This is the result. I hope you like it.

He Restores My Soul is a reminder that even when the enemy tries to entangle us in fear, lies, and mental battles, we are not without refuge. We can run to God. We can anchor ourselves in His Word. And we can trust that He is actively restoring, healing, and holding us in His peace—day by day, step by step.
