Praise & Worship

An unbelievably talented group of musicians – Brothers of the Heart – once again have displayed their God-given gift for sound with a performance of a beloved and classic hymn, “How Great Thou Art.”

Hymns, even though they may be hundreds of years old in some cases, still deserve to be listened to and played regularly. Tunes like “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” and “Amazing Grace” are timeless and filled with so much truth.

Another of those classic hymns is “How Great Thou Art.” In a clip posted on YouTube, Brothers of the Heart turned in an outstanding and awe-inspiring vocal performance, singing about the magnificence, righteousness and wonder of the good Lord above.

Others who commented on the YouTube link mentioned how much they loved and appreciated the group’s performance of “How Great Thou Art.”

“Absolutely precious and love this group, Brothers of the Heart,” one person wrote.

“Absolutely beautiful. You can feel the presents (sic) of the Lord,” a second individual added.

“They love and believe in the words of this song. Truly inspirational. Love these magnificent men so much. It brings tears to my eyes listening to these beautiful men sing this beautiful hymn!!” another person commented.  

The hymn reminds listeners about God’s undeserving love and mercy. He sent His son to Earth, whose destiny was the cross. But instead of turning away from that agony and torture, Christ willingly went to the cross, bleeding and dying to wash away the sins of man. 

“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art”

The hymn’s chorus is simple but utterly beautiful and memorable. Christ, because of His sacrifice, dying and suffering on our behalf, is worthy of all honor, glory and praise.

How great thou art, indeed! 

Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.”

One talented young woman, Brooke Ligertwood, gave an emotional and stunning performance of a beloved tune about the Lord Jesus Christ.

The world is a lost place filled with sinners who have turned their backs on God and His teachings. Despite that willful disobedience, God still showed wholly undeserving love, mercy and grace to us. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to Earth as a sacrifice. 

Christ willingly went to the cross, enduring a horrible and agonizing death. He took our place, and because of His death and resurrection, we have a chance. We have the opportunity for everlasting life with Him. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Brooke performs “King of Kings.” It’s a song of praise and worship, thanking the Lord for the gift of forgiveness and salvation. He is worthy of all honor, glory and praise. 

“Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings”

Like Brooke’s performance, the lyrics are beautiful. Those words are enough to cause even the most stoic person to become emotional. The song's words detail how much Christ’s entrance into the world immediately and dramatically altered human history forever.  

The opening verse mentions how much Christ changed everything for everyone. Without Him, all creation was without hope, sitting in darkness and living in sin and shame. But as the song states, praise God that Christ did not avoid the cross. He took on the cross and the punishment for our sakes. 

There is nothing to do but praise and worship Him for what He has done. Regardless, there is nothing that we could ever say or do that would even come close to earning salvation. It’s a gift that is offered to all freely. It’s a gift that has changed lives and continues to do so today. 

Christ’s blood, shed upon the cross, wipes away all sin. 

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

The world is full of injustices, but The Lord is forgiving and helps us find our way to the path of love and grace. This Contemporary Christian song by Nashville Country reminds us that if we walk the path of love God will help us find our way to peace. Lyrics and music by Clare Steffen, Music and Production by William Sherry.

This is a music video for "Yeshua is my Messiah". The song is about how Christ came to show the way to the God. He lived as an example for all of us, was crucified, dying for the sins of the world. He then rose to life and ascended to Heaven. Christ will come again to judge the world, reigning for a thousand years. Jesus is surely the Messiah, fully man and fully God. I hope you enjoy this meaningful and soulful Reggae song.

In Exodus 3:14, God said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM." I have contemplated how the great I AM, who has always been and always will be, became a tiny human Baby inside a humble virgin. God is almighty beyond our comprehension, but it is good for us to contemplate. I have shared in this song only a very few aspects of this great I AM who humbled Himself to show us His love and save us. I pray that as you listen to this song I wrote in 2016, that you will be in awe of who Jesus, our Creator, Savior, and great I AM really is.

"I Worship You Mighty God" is a song of praise to God, the creator of heaven and earth. Genesis says that the sky is a vault (firmament/dome). God created the land, and the sky. God made the dome (sky) to sperate the water above from the water below. The God put the sun, moon and stars within the sky. This song is more of an abridged song of creation, and praises God as the creator of everything. This song is similar to "Creation Song". I hope you enjoy this exciting, up-tempo song.

A choir of unbelievably talented musicians turned in an emotional and moving performance of a song about praising and worshiping the Lord for His endless love and mercy.

The world is a fallen and lost place inhabited by people hurting and struggling. They are broken and bruised and looking for hope wherever they may find it. But thanks to Christ’s willing sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection, all have been given hope and a chance at everlasting life with Him. 

For all Christ has done, defeating death and sin and bringing hope, there is no way to praise and thank Him properly. But what else can we do? All we have is our praise to offer Him, and not even that is fit for a King.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a choir performs Brandon Lake’s classic “Gratitude,” about offering our praise and worship to the Lord because that’s all we have to give. It’s an absolutely stunning and moving a cappella performance – one all are sure to enjoy and appreciate.

“So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah”

Christ went to the cross and died a horrible, awful and completely undeserving death. He went through all of that excruciating pain and agony for a bunch of sinners, people who had willingly turned away and were disobedient. But God showed pity and mercy for a lost people by sending His one and Only Son to die for us to bridge the gap and rupture that sin had caused.

That level of love, mercy and grace is hard to fathom. There is nothing anyone can do to become worthy of such a selfless and loving gift. As the song says, all we can do is throw up our hands and praise Him repeatedly. 

Isaiah 25:1 “O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honor to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.”
