Two talented musicians turned in a soul-stirring duet of the classic and beloved hymn “Leaning on The Everlasting Arms.”

There are plenty of fun, joyous and happy occasions in life that are worth celebrating and recognizing. However, as everyone knows, life is not always an enjoyable experience. Sadly, it can often be the exact opposite. Many situations and circumstances will leave you battered, bruised and severely diminished, with the scars to prove it.

Everyone has likely gone through a deep, dark valley in life, a time full of grief, sorrow and pain. There may have been instances where you felt like you had reached your limit and that going on was asking too much. It’s in these times when deep pain and sorrow set in that we must remember to lean upon the One who willingly gave His life for you and me. We can lean on the everlasting arms.

In a clip posted on YouTube, two individuals give a most enjoyable duet performance of that old hymn that reminds us that we have the Creator and Savior of the world in our corner. Likely, “Leaning on The Everlasting Arms” is a song you know very well. But the hymn’s beautifully written lyrics are still as accurate today as when they were first penned.

The song’s chorus is certainly memorable and iconic, one that most people likely know by heart. But arguably, the hymn’s second verse is the most powerful, especially for someone enduring one of life’s many storms.

“What have I to dread, what have I to fear
Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms”

What beautiful words and reassurance for someone going through experiencing hurt or pain! What do we have to fear with our Lord and Savior? 

Praise Him!

2 John 1:9 “Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God. He who keeps to the teaching has the Father and the Son.”

A family of incredibly talented and gifted musicians, Sounds Like Reign, has turned in a beautiful rendition of a beloved hymn, “O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus.”

Without the love of Jesus Christ, no one would have any hope. All would be destined and condemned to live out their lives on Earth, walking about in their sin and shame. There would be no hope for anyone after their death. All would be looking at spending eternity lost in hell.

However, because Christ willingly went to the cross, suffering and experiencing an excruciating and humiliating death, we have hope. The Bible says that Christ, in doing this, going to the cross and dying on our behalf, demonstrated His love for us. Christ’s love for sinners is abundant, never-ending and inexplicable.

No one deserves forgiveness and eternal salvation, but Christ freely offers them to all because of His love. That is why they are often referred to as gifts. There is nothing we have done or ever could do to earn such lifesaving and changing things. Only because of His love are they available to anyone and everyone.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Sounds Like Reign covers a tune about Christ’s love for sinners. As you would likely expect, the vocal performances are outstanding as the talented musicians sing the beautifully written lyrics about Christ’s deep, awe-inspiring love for you and me.

The song’s opening verse compares Christ’s love to an ocean. It’s as vast, deep and strong as the waters in one of those large bodies of water.

“O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me”

Of course, the point and message of the hymn are that Christ’s love is like nothing you’ll ever see or experience. It doesn’t make sense, and we don’t deserve it, but it is still there no matter what we do or where we go.

Romans 5:8 “But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.”

This is a video I made with the beginning of a song I wrote several years ago after my Mom passed away. I will finish the video at a later time.

The popular and incredibly talented Christian music group Newsboys has released the powerful and moving official music video for their song "How Many Times."

No one deserves God's continued love, forgiveness and grace. The Bible says that every person has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Yet, because of His inexplicable and never-ending love, God sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to Earth.

If sending His son to Earth to pay our debt by taking our place on the cross wasn't enough, God continues to show His love and faithfulness in our lives. He is always faithful in any and every situation. He remains by our side, always protecting, guiding and directing.

God continually does all of this and is always faithful and quick to shed his grace upon us. He has never failed us, and there is no reason that He will ever do so in the future.

In their official music video for "How Many Times, the Newsboys sing about God's faithfulness. God comes through every single time. He's done it so often that counting the number of instances is impossible.

The song's lovely and beautiful chorus tries to assign a number to the instances of God's faithfulness. But even the lyrics in the song's chorus are too finite and restricting for God and His love and grace.

"More than the stars in a thousand-night skies
More than the minutes in a million lifetimes
How many times have You proven You love me
Oh, how You love me"

As the song states, God constantly makes a way when there appears to be none. He can and does inject hope and life into a situation that looks to be lost and without hope. There isn't anything that He cannot and will not do.

Praise His holy name!

Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for his is faithful that promised:"

Recorded by my dad in the Summer of 2017 at the age of 81. My dad went home to be with Jesus on February 19th, 2022. This was one of my favorite songs of his that I heard him sing many times in church in my childhood. I always loved the high note at the end of the song. Maybe that's why I like to sing high notes in many of my songs now...I am so grateful for the dad that God blessed me with and how he and my dear mom pointed me to Jesus! I'm so glad to have this album to be able to still share my dad's music ministry even now after he's gone to heaven.
