Passion, an incredibly talented group of musicians, turned in a lovely and captivating acoustic performance of “How Great is Your Name.”

No one would have the opportunity for forgiveness and to experience everlasting life if not for God’s love and sacrifice. We’d all be destined to live out our days on this Earth lost in our sin and shame. But that is not the case because of God’s inexplicable and never-ending love, mercy and grace.

Jesus Christ, sent to Earth, willingly went to the cross. He suffered, bled and endured a horrible, agonizing and humiliating death for you and me. He made the ultimate sacrifice and paid the biggest price. He did what no one else could have ever done.

Praise His name!

In a clip posted on YouTube, Passion gives an emotional performance of “How Great is Your Name.” The tune perfectly captures and articulates the depths of Christ’s love and the world-changing importance of His death and resurrection.

While the band is fantastic in the five-and-a-half-minute clip, the lyrics set this song apart and will make you repeatedly listen and watch the video. The songwriting is outstanding. The tune’s first verse is compelling and moving, wasting no time getting to the importance of Christ’s death on the cross.

“To the King who left his throne

Trading glory for a cross

To the one who paid our debt in blood

Holy, holy, hallelujah to the Lamb”

You really can’t say or write it any better than that. Christ, seeing the sad state of humanity and the rupture that sin had caused between God and man, was sent to Earth. He gave up everything and died for us.

What astounding love, grace and mercy!  We are not deserving and will never be worthy of salvation.

Ephesians 2:8-9 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God: not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.”

Watching young kids singing brings a smile to anyone’s face. In this video, adorable children give a sweet rendition of ‘This Little Light of Mine.’

At the beginning of this video, we see three adorable young boys under the age of 5, sitting in their family’s living room. They begin to sing, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.” The older adorably sings, “This widdle light of mine.” He is focused, singing with confidence, and enjoying the performance. The middle child is enjoying using his finger to represent the light and spinning it around while he sings with a smile. The baby boy is seated between the older brothers, and he starts to get completely tickled when he begins to shine his little light with his finger. He giggles and smiles so big, and it is precious.

The boys go into the second verse, “Hide it under a bushel, no! I’m gonna let it shine.” The oldest sings clearly, the middle does the motions perfectly, and the little one is there to giggle and be the entertainment again. A highlight moment is when the trio sings about not letting Satan blow it out. Instead of singing blow, they actually blow with their lips. The younger two practice with their little finger lights being blown out. 

They continue to the final verse to let their lights shine until Jesus comes back. The oldest is still leading strong, and the younger two are still having a good time. Watching these boys is a complete delight. They are very into the song and the motions. The message that they are singing is very profound. As we reflect on letting our lights shine, may these little boys remind us of the true joy that is found in the Light of the World, Jesus.  

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

Get ready to worship with this powerful musical testimony of God’s goodness. Soul-stirring ‘Soon and Very Soon’ by Chris Blue Captivates. 

This is a soulful rendition of ‘Soon and Very Soon.’ This is a song straight from the heart. Chris sings and ministers to the audience with a choir of every color behind him. He encourages us to hold on to the hope of heaven. Chris has a crisp and powerful voice. He is easy to listen to and fun to worship with, as you witness this video of praise. Chris asks, “Does anybody want to see Jesus?” He is a motivator to get people excited that we will see our Savior one day. 

All of sudden, he sings in a style similar to that of James Brown. He completely wows the crowd with his improv and his deep and wonderful trills. Chris is so worshipful. This group of talented instrumentalists and singers all worship with Chris to a level of excitement, celebration, and anticipation of heaven.

Life is hard, and this video reminds us of the positive future that all believers have in Jesus. He has created a way for us to have salvation and the promise of heaven. We do not have to face any of the trials listed in this song anymore when we are there, and there will be no more sickness, sorrow, or dying; we will be seeing our King Jesus face to face and become perfectly whole again. This video will make you want to get up and dance, lift your hands, and join in the song that we are going to see the King. Thank you, Jesus, for this gift.

“Soon and Very Soon” was written by Andre Crouch in 1972. This song is a timeless truth that our Savior awaits us. We have so many reasons to celebrate in worship.

“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,—” Philippians 3:20

Every day there are a thousand voices tempting us to think and act in ways that are destructive to us. They come in attractive packages in things like commercials, songs, TV shows and other entertainment. They also come from our own compulsions toward evil. But Jesus showed us another way. We don't have to listen to those voices. It's not easy, but we can follow Him - and His way leads only to life.

For of Him and Through Him

Popular Christian musician Anne Wilson has released the official heartfelt lyric video for her new song “My Father’s Daughter.”

Fathers are extraordinary men that the good Lord has placed in our lives. They are gentle, kind, caring individuals who are also supportive and quick to share knowledge and words of wisdom. Fathers offer protection, guidance, direction and even correction when needed.

Everyone needs someone like that to show them how to handle and navigate life. Even if they aren’t a biological father, men who become father-type figures are invaluable to children. Through their words and actions, those men are shaping the next generation.

In the official lyric video for Anne’s song “My Father’s Daughter,” Anne is spotted in the studio singing and recording the beautiful song. But also included is sweet, heartfelt video footage of little girls interacting with their fathers. Some of the material even appears to be parts of home videos, likely of Anne as a child with her dad.

But as sweet and touching as the images are in the video, the song’s lyrics are just as likely to cause you to shed a tear or two. The song is essentially about how much Anne looks up to and adores her father. She adds that she will always be her father's daughter no matter where she goes or what she does.

The song’s following lines also mention how Anne knows that she can always rely upon her father for love and support no matter what she is going through or experiencing.

“When I just can’t make sense of anything, this woman I’m becoming

The world might put some labels on her, but no matter where I go

I’ll always be

My father’s daughter”

That’s exactly what every child wants, needs and deserves. They need a father figure in their lives to love and support them in any situation, to be someone they can count on when life gets messy and confusing.

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

Written by Darlene Zschech and performed by Dan Adler in this live unplugged version from his CD 'Songs for the Battle' available on iTunes, CD Baby and www.danandsandyadler.com

The Bible tells us that if we resist the devil, he will flee from us and if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. If we are followers of Jesus, we have to do this work of resisting and drawing near if we are going to become more like Jesus. God's mercies to us are new every morning, so begin again today. This song features Native American flute by Sandy Adler and acoustic and electric guitar by Dan Adler. From the CD's 'Songs for the Battle' and 'The Best So Far' available at www.danandsandyadler.com, iTunes and most mp3 sites.

Legendary gospel singer CeCe Winans turned in a powerful and moving performance of her song, “That’s My King,” on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Christians are no better than anyone else in society. We are still human beings and sinners. The only difference between us, as Christians, and everyone else is that we have realized that we are sinners and have asked the Lord for forgiveness. He has forgiven our sins and transgressions because of His incredible, perfect, never-ending love, mercy and grace.

God has done a fantastic, life-changing thing for us, something we could have never earned. But, as the Bible states, Christians are not to keep this quiet and to ourselves. Instead, we are to go about, into all the nations, sharing what Christ has done for us and making disciples for Him.

In a clip posted on YouTube, CeCe performs “That’s My King.” It’s a song about the great and extraordinary things the Lord has done in her life. He has dramatically changed her life, and she shares it with everyone. Her excitement about the Lord and His message of love, hope and mercy are too important to keep contained.

The entire song is an upbeat and joyful tune about Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

“That’s my King

We declare the glory

Give Him all the honor

Altogether worry”

CeCe, as she always does, gives a show-stopping performance. It’s one that you’ll want to watch and listen to repeatedly.

However, before her stunning performance, CeCe sat down with Kelly and discussed several topics, including her grandson’s musical ability, performing live and how she is incredibly blessed to be able to share with others what God has done for her.

“You can’t; it’s a gift and it's a blessing,” CeCe said. “And to be able to use what God has given you and to share good news and to bring life because music is so powerful.”

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.”

Being a follower of Jesus requires us to surrender our all to Him. It's easy to claim to follow Jesus but really live for ourselves. But because He gave His all for us, and because all that we have and are comes from us, we too must surrender it back to Him. And in that surrendering is not defeat but victory and real fulfillment. It's an ideal that we often fail, but it must remain our goal. Written and Performed by Dan Adler from the CD 'Songs for the Battle' available at www.danandsandyadler.com, CD Baby and iTunes.
