Natalie Grant Official Lyric Video 'In Christ Alone'

It never gets old listening to the voices of powerhouse singers. Check out Natalie Grant’s Official Lyric Video, “In Christ Alone.”

The video begins with a stunning piano and Natalie walking into a conservatory in a floral dress. She looks toward the sun. The words are powerful in talking about the humility needed to seek the glory of the Lord in our battles, not to pride ourselves in our own strength. The words remind us that even our most precious and valuable successes mean nothing compared to the gift of salvation in Jesus.

“In every victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope, is Christ alone.”

Natalie’s newest album is called Seasons. It features this classic hymn modernized. Natalie doesn’t just sing with her voice. She sings from her heart. The way that she hits the notes feels deep, as if it were a prayer. 

She cries out to God and has such confidence behind the One whom she is singing. We glorify and praise Jesus for being our only way to heaven. He is our strength and our joy. He is the reason that Natalie sings the way that she does and desires to spread the message of hope through the gospel to the world. 

The beautiful videography is dreamy and reminds us of the Garden of Eden. The entire aesthetics propel our hearts to celebrate the reconciliation that we have been given through Jesus. 

He gives us new life and redeems our broken lives through His death and resurrection. Listening to Natalie Grant’s voice truly is a glimpse of Heaven on earth.

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

Don't Stop Praying' Matthew West Official Music Video

This music video is a reminder that we can never stop praying and that God is always here for us. 

Matthew West is a contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter and his latest song, ‘Don’t Stop Praying’ is all about how we should keep praying, even when it might be hard to do so. 

“Don’t stop praying
Don’t stop calling on Jesus name
Keep on pounding on heaven’s door
Let your knees wear out the floor”

The song talks about the feeling of hopelessness and even if we don’t always feel like it we need to keep praying. It is a reminder of how important it is to call on Jesus’ name and that we need to keep bringing our prayers to him. 

The music video begins with Matthew West walking into an art studio and making signs that say, “Don’t Stop Praying.” You can see him and others hanging up signs around town as a reminder of what we need to do. 

Matthew West started as an independent musician in the late 1990s before he was signed with a label. He has also written for other contemporary Christian artists such as Point of Grace, Mandisa, and Casting Crowns, as well as for Country artists, Rascal Flatts, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Vince Gill. 

‘Don’t Stop Praying’ came out in January of 2024 and many in the comments are talking about situations where they kept praying even when it was hard. One commenter says, “Just had that experience today! I saw God change two individuals hearts that I've been praying for for 19 years!! His ways are perfect, and his mercies never cease” and another comments, “This song has carried me through a very difficult situation. The Lord has wonderfully answered my prayers in such a way I never dreamed. Keep praying it works and your break through may be just around the corner.”

“Pray without ceasing.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Do as Jesus Would Do

I once read a book where a lot of the people in a town decided to live their lives according to God's Word. I was so taken in by it that I decided to write this song. Yes to live a godly life style sure does make a big difference!

Oh The Cross He Saw Us

While Jesus was on the cross he prayed for us and kept his promise to his father that he would stand in for us and suffer so that we can have eternal life in his presence.

Hope For The Lonely

Jesus is the hope for the lonely, and all those living in unfortunate circumstances. He has promised to love His people forever.

Anthem Lights 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness' Beautiful A Cappella Cover

The harmonies with this version of ‘Great is Thy Faithfulness’ are simply beautiful. You want to keep listening to the song over and over again. 

Sung by the Nashville vocal group, Anthem Lights, this song is a popular hymn in the Christian church. ‘Great is Thy Faithfulness’ was written as a poem by Thomas Chisholm in 1923. He sent the poem to William M. Runyan to put it to music and the song quickly became popular among church groups.

The lyrics reference Lamentations 3:22-23, “It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is your faithfulness.”

“Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be”

is how the song begins, and it truly is a timeless piece. 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness' was relevant for people 100 years ago just as it is today. 

Billy Graham and Dr. William Henry Houghton also helped make the hymn popular with Billy Graham using the song in his crusades

Anthem Lights sings a range of covers, medleys, and mashups of popular music. The group is made up of Caleb Grimm, Chad Graham, Joey Stamper, and Spencer Kane and they definitely know how to sing. 

You can hear the passion of this group behind their vocals as they sing ‘Great is Thy Faithfulness.’ So many in the comments are loving it. One commenter stated, “WOW. Blown away. Those harmonies are so wild, I love it! Hallelujah” and another said, “SO GREAT IS HIS FAITHFULNESS! I have your amazing voices on repeat…such gifts He has bestowed upon each of you.”

An a cappella cover of a hymn is a great way to listen to one. This one is especially so. 

Gaither Vocal Band Wonderful Performance Of ‘Have I Told You Lately’

An immensely talented group of vocalists, the Gaither Vocal Band, flexed their musical talents with a delightful performance of a love song previously performed by Rod Stewart and Elvis Presley, “Have I Told You Lately?”

Love is a popular subject for musicians and songwriters. As the saying goes, love makes the world go round. Apparently, it also keeps musicians and songwriters employed and busy. There is an endless collection of love songs from every style and genre.

The Bible also places a lot of emphasis on love. In 1 Corinthians, God’s word states that love is greater than faith and hope. But while it’s necessary and important to show someone how much you love them, it’s also vital to inform them how much they mean to you. Who doesn’t want to hear “I love you” regularly?

In a clip posted on YouTube, the members of the Gaither Vocal Band sing, “Have I Told You Lately?” It’s a pitch-perfect performance as all the guys sit and take turns serenading their wives. 

“Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told you with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well, darling, I’m telling you now”

It’s a terrific rendition of the popular love song, with each member getting adequate time to show off their vocal skills. In addition to their musical performance, the visuals are sweet, with each member singing to their better half.

Others who commented on the video’s YouTube page also expressed how much they loved and adored the Gaither Vocal Band’s cover of the classic love song.

“I love this so much, absolutely beautiful,” one person wrote.

“Absolutely beautiful! I love everything about this,” a second person added.

“The Gaither Vocal Band makes every song sound lovely,” someone else pointed out

1 Corinthians 13:13 “But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

‘Place In This World’ For King + Country And Michael W. Smith Lyric Video

Two of the biggest names in the Christian music scene, For King + Country and Michael W. Smith, brought their immense talents together for a “Place in this World.”

Everyone wants to feel loved and needed and that they belong. Being left out and feeling as if their thoughts, opinions and concerns do not matter is one of the worst feelings in the world. This thinking can lead to loneliness and impact someone’s self-esteem and self-worth. That’s why being with people and in a place where you are loved and cared for is vitally important.

In the official lyric video posted on YouTube, For King + Country and Michael W. Smith sing “Place in This World.” It’s a beautifully written and performed tune about finding one’s reason, mission and calling in life. 

“Feels like I’m looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find my place in this world
My place in this world 
Not allowed to lean on”

“A Place in this World” is such a beautiful tune about reaching out to and seeking Him for one’s purpose and mission in life. 

Others who commented on the video’s YouTube link also expressed their love and adoration of For King + Country and Michael W. Smith’s collaboration.

“I Love this version of the song! It was truly so moving! God is definitely using For King In Country to further His kingdom! They have such amazing voices too!” one person wrote.

“This song is beautiful and so powerful,” a second individual added.  

No one wants to go through life feeling as if their existence did not matter or that they didn’t make a bit of difference to someone. This can be a painful and heartbreaking experience. 

But no matter how we think or feel about ourselves, God is always faithful and loving. He offers shelter and comfort in the time of life’s storm. God has a will and purpose for every life. 

Everyone on Earth has a reason for being. Nothing God does is by accident.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Brandon Lake Rocking ‘Count Em’ Live Performance

Brandon Lake, a Grammy Award-winning Christian music artist, put on an upbeat, catchy and energetic live performance of “Count Em.”

Most people, when they think about Christian music, probably imagine hymns. “Great is Thy Faithfulness", "Victory in Jesus” and the always-popular “Amazing Grace” likely immediately come to mind. And those hymns and others are beloved and still performed in churches and for good reason. 

But not all music that shares and spreads the words of Jesus Christ are hymns. Instead, some might sound like a tune right from a rock-centered radio station. A clip of Brandon Lake’s performance while out on tour is an excellent example that some Christian music has a more modern rock sound to it.

“You got power, demons cower when they hear Your name called
You got power that still towers, make Goliath look small
You got power to devour any counterfeit roar
Even Your tongue is a sword, count up the score”

What a powerful song! It is a tune that details God’s overwhelming power – power that can take on and defeat anything and everything that the powers of Hell may throw His way. Nothing will overcome and overwhelm God. 

Not every kind of music is for every person. Some people prefer more relaxing, quieter, smoother and more soulful kinds of music. Others enjoy music with more of an edge to it – louder vocals, more pronounced guitars and drums. That’s to be expected. No two people are made the same or think the same, which also includes their preference in music. 

Likewise, different people are reached and impacted in different ways. Someone may get inspiration and hear God’s message of love and forgiveness through a beloved and classic hymn. Someone else may be reached through a song like Brandon’s “Count Em.”

1 Chronicles 29:11 “Yours, O Lord, is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honor: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all.”

Danny Gokey Uplifting ‘I Got You’ Official Lyric Video

An immensely talented musician, Danny Gokey, turned in an emotional and uplifting performance, singing about God's love, protection and faithfulness. 

Life is a series of unexpected events and situations, some of which can result in difficulty, hurt and sorrow. Everyone walking on Earth will encounter unfair and unpredictable circumstances, periods of confusion and dark valleys. Some times will pull, test and stretch the faith of Christians - even those who have followed Christ for decades.

However, God, in His word, promises on multiple occasions to never leave or forsake us during our time of need. He understands the situations, knows our hearts and is still in control even when He may appear to be absent. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, former American Idol contest Danny Gokey sings, “I Got You.” It’s a tune about relying upon God, having faith and knowing He is still there through everything. He is by our side through every high and every low. God is faithful.

“Why should I tremble with worry and fear?
If I am your temple, You’re already here
Heaven surrounds me when I call Your name
There’s nothing that You cannot change”

Those beautifully written lyrics reinforce the idea found several times throughout God’s word that He is always guiding, directing and protecting. He provides healing and comfort during the storm. He can also bring hope to a situation that, at first and even second look, would appear to be hopeless. 

Everyone will face terrible situations, hardships and trials. Those times may even cause us to ask questions of God. But Christians can stand on God’s promise that he will never leave or forsake us. He is merciful and loving and uses all things for the good of those who love Him. 

Deuteronomy 7:9 “Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;”

‘Place In This World’ For King + Country And Michael W. Smith Lyric Video

Two of the biggest names in the Christian music scene, For King + Country and Michael W. Smith, brought their immense talents together for a “Place in this World.”

Everyone wants to feel loved and needed and that they belong. Being left out and feeling as if their thoughts, opinions and concerns do not matter is one of the worst feelings in the world. This thinking can lead to loneliness and impact someone’s self-esteem and self-worth. That’s why being with people and in a place where you are loved and cared for is vitally important.

In the official lyric video posted on YouTube, For King + Country and Michael W. Smith sing “Place in This World.” It’s a beautifully written and performed tune about finding one’s reason, mission and calling in life. 

“Feels like I’m looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find my place in this world
My place in this world 
Not allowed to lean on”

“A Place in this World” is such a beautiful tune about reaching out to and seeking Him for one’s purpose and mission in life. 

Others who commented on the video’s YouTube link also expressed their love and adoration of For King + Country and Michael W. Smith’s collaboration.

“I Love this version of the song! It was truly so moving! God is definitely using For King In Country to further His kingdom! They have such amazing voices too!” one person wrote.

“This song is beautiful and so powerful,” a second individual added.  

No one wants to go through life feeling as if their existence did not matter or that they didn’t make a bit of difference to someone. This can be a painful and heartbreaking experience. 

But no matter how we think or feel about ourselves, God is always faithful and loving. He offers shelter and comfort in the time of life’s storm. God has a will and purpose for every life.

“You got power, demons cower when they hear Your name called
You got power that still towers, make Goliath look small

What a powerful song! It is a tune that details God’s overwhelming power – power that can take on and defeat anything and everything that the powers of Hell may throw His way. Nothing will overcome and overwhelm God. 

Not every kind of music is for every person. Some people prefer more relaxing, quieter, smoother and more soulful kinds of music. Others enjoy music with more of an edge to it – louder vocals, more pronounced guitars and drums. That’s to be expected. No two people are made the same or think the same, which also includes their preference in music.
