Listen to this wonderful live worship performance from Pat Barrett of his song ‘Better Hands.’
“Don’t want to get ahead of myself, don’t want to go my own way, cause when I go my own way
I always fall short, been learning how to let it go, I’m learning how to trust You
Cause every time I trust You, I’m never more sure, this is in better hands
This is a better plan, this is in better hands than my own"
What a great reminder to us to leave our hands and our plans open to God. And Pat Barrett shares on YouTube about how this song helps him with that.
“If you’re anything like me, faith often feels like ‘letting go.’ Letting go of the things I can’t control, of the unnecessary worrying about tomorrow, of the constant lie to try to prove myself or earn my worth,” he writes.
“This song helps remind me that there’s no one who loves me like He does. Living in this love has been the most profound and liberating experience in my life. I’m so happy to finally share this song with the world! It’s all in Better Hands.”
Pat also shares in an interview about Bible verses that remind of the truth that is sung about in this song. “The scriptures remind us that the hands of God that formed the world (Psalm 95:5) and made us (Psalm 139:13) and meet our needs (Psalm 104:28) can be trusted every day,” he says. “So on the days when trust feels easy, I’ve been singing this song as a hymn of joy. And on the days when it feels like even a seed of faith is hard to come by, I’ve been singing this song as a reminder of the truth: that this is in better hands than my own.”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Better Hands’ by Pat Barrett today!
This is a Latin Pop mix of the song, "Live Your Life for God/Jesus". The song is about making God a priority in your life. It is also about making a joyful noise unto the Lord - praising God with music and dancing. The music video features 3D animation.
Gifted artist Danny Gokey releases a lyric video for his song ‘No Pressure.’ He knows a thing or two about the pressure of life and the pressure to be someone Jesus can be proud of. In the midst of striving, we sometimes lose sight that nothing we do or don’t do will earn us favor with the Lord. Sometimes striving in life through careers, achievements, and awards misplaces Christ from the throne of our hearts. But the Lord gently reminds us of his infinite grace and the depth of his love for us.
In this moving video, he sings:
That there's no pressure to be someone
Other than who You love
I can let my stress fall to the floor
There's no pressure to earn Your grace
He then brings us to the point of giving everything over to Jesus as he sings:
You gave it all away
I don't have to be perfect
You tell me I'm worth it
There's no pressure (no pressure)
This powerful song reminds us we need to stop striving, stop fighting with God and surrender. Surrender the worry, the pain, and the struggles. As we lay our worries down, he fills us up with his peace. Danny is no stranger to struggle and striving. He lost his first wife to a congenital heart disease before he found himself competing in American Idol. As the season finale came to a close, Danny went from being one of the top three contestants to losing and going home seemingly empty-handed. What he didn’t know was how God was working all things together for Danny’s future in order to glorify Christ through music.
Since then, Danny has released several albums and is now a popular Christian music artist. His music inspires others to rise up from the ashes and focus their hearts and souls on their savior. May this worship song help you reflect on how much Christ loves you unconditionally as it melts away the pressure.
Listen to this beautiful song that reminds us that Jesus is our anchor and all that we do, all that we are revolves around Him. ‘Christ Is The Center’ performed by Danny Gokey, and The Belonging Co, ushers us into a moment of reverence as we are reminded how Christ paid the ultimate price for our sins. In moments like this, we need to lay down our burdens, agendas, and offenses and open our hearts up to repentance.
“In the morning, in the evening, You’re the one thing we are seeking
We come boldly. We are open to You now. You are healing all division
You are mending all that’s broken. Make us holy, make us holy like You are.”
The Belonging Co is a church worship group based in Nashville, Tennessee. They proudly state Jesus is above all. Written on their website, “We desire encounter over entertainment, intimacy over industry, presence over presentation, people over position, and Jesus over everything.”
Some days, we struggle to put our feelings and circumstances aside and put Christ above it all. However, God loves us and reminds us of His love when we get distracted. Sometimes it’s not easy to keep Christ at the center when we are pulled in dozens of directions. In order for Jesus to be the center of your life, it means we give Him complete control. Why wouldn’t we want Him to be in the center? He created us. He has a purpose for us, and He is faithful. When we turn to Jesus and surrender, He does a much better of running our lives than we can.
In this genuine, awe-inspiring moment of worship, Danny Gokey and The Belonging Co sing our heart’s desire, we want Jesus and nothing else. We hope this worship video gave you a moment to praise God and thank Him for loving you!
Matthew 22:37-38 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.”
A group of musically gifted young women turned in a stunning cover of “Holy Water,” a song about the Lord's love, mercy and grace.
No one walking on the face of the earth is perfect. When sin entered the world through the bite of an apple, the world became a fallen place. Everyone has their flaws, failures and shortcomings. Achieving perfection on this side of heaven is not possible.
God, because of His love, mercy and grace, devised a plan to bridge the gap and the rupture that sin caused between Him and man. Thankfully, that same grace and mercy is available to all today. In a clip posted on YouTube, The Detty Sisters sing “Holy Water” a tune about God’s gift of grace, mercy and forgiveness.
The five women beautifully belt out the lyrics, singing about needing the Lord’s grace and His presence in their lives on a continual, daily basis. Without His constant presence and guidance, they would surely not make it in this life.
In the song’s lovely chorus, the women sing about the priceless and precious gift of the Lord’s forgiveness. It’s one that without, no one would ever have a chance, and all would be lost.
“Your forgiveness
Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
Like Holy water on my skin”
Each of the five women gets their time to shine in the clip. They all take turns showing off their vocal talents.
Before God mercifully sent His Son to die as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind, no one had a chance at eternal life. People were lost and fallen, destined to live out their days in their sin and shame. Now, thanks to Christ’s death and resurrection, everlasting life with Him is possible for those who confess their sins and accept Christ into their heart and lives.
Matthew 3:11 “Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:”
A young woman showed her unbelievable voice by turning in an inspired cover of Andra Day’s hit “Rise Up.”
Life is a journey, often consisting of a series of unexpected twists, turns and detours. No one can be sure where life will take them. But no matter where life may lead someone, there will be plenty of happy and joyous occasions. But on the other hand, there will be instances of hardship, trial and heartache.
In a video posted on YouTube, Jadyn Rylee covers “Rise Up,” a song meant to inspire and push others to continue going when it appears all hope is lost. The song’s opening verse is full of encouragement, telling listeners they can move mountains.
“And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains”
In addition to the song’s uplifting and positive message, Jadyn shows off her stunning voice. The control she possesses over her voice, able to move it up and down with ease, hitting nearly every single note, is remarkable. She can do things with her voice that most singers can only dream of doing.
One could easily listen to this young lady’s cover of “Rise Up” several times without ever getting tired of it. She has been abundantly blessed with a terrific voice.
During these periods of pain and struggle that the song mentions, exhibiting a spirit of perseverance and resilience is a must. Giving up and quitting has not served many people well, and that isn’t likely to change anytime soon.
Additionally, God remains by our side during unpleasant situations. His Word states on several occasions that He will never leave or forsake us during our time of need.
Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord your God, he it is that does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.”
A group of talented musicians, Mountain People Worship, made up of “notorious sinners” gave a stunning and moving performance of a song about how much they desire Jesus Christ in their lives.
There are some segments of the population that society looks down upon, wishing to avoid interacting with them at all costs. Those who have experienced issues with drug abuse or were previously incarcerated aren’t people others rush out to befriend. Sadly, this is the attitude of some in the church as well. People tend to pass judgment if others don’t adhere to a particular look or if some sin in their past is revealed.
But of course, this is the wrong attitude, which Jesus mentioned in Mark when He was accused of affiliating with tax collectors and “sinners.”
In a video posted on YouTube, a group of people the world often looks down upon - orphans, ex-drug addicts, those who spent time behind bars and “other notorious sinners” - sing “My Hearts Wants You.”
In the song’s opening verse, the singers mention how much they want and desire Christ in their lives. The lyrics state that it has become so strong that they cannot sleep. Their heart’s need for Jesus Christ is literally keeping them awake at night.
“I lie wide awake in bed
With my heart beating out of my chest
Jesus, Jesus
My heart wants You
My heart wants You”
In addition to the lovely lyrics about wanting and needing Christ in their life and heart, the video is also a beautiful representation of this desire. The camera moves through a cabin filled with people singing, praising and worshiping Christ. Nearly everyone seen on camera has their hands up, praising the name of Jesus.
Mark 2:17 “When Jesus heard it, he said to them, ‘Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
A group of musically gifted children turned in a stunning performance, singing a song about finding and having hope and faith even in the bleakest of situations.
Throughout history, human beings have shown that they are capable of some truly horrific, revolting and sickening things. One of the most prominent examples, which perfectly illustrates the level of evil humans are capable of, is the Holocaust during WWII. But even during that time, when Jews were systematically murdered and forced into hiding, some still managed to search for and find hope.
In a clip posted on YouTube, a couple of dozen children sing “I Believe.” According to the video’s description, the song’s lyrics were found, originally written on the wall of an underground shelter in Cologne, Germany. That location was used for those of the Jewish faith to hide and avoid the horrors of the Holocaust.
The words the children so beautifully sing are moving, heartbreaking and full of hope at the same time.
“I believe in the Sun, even when, even when it’s not shining
I believe in love, even when, even when I don’t feel it
I believe in God, even when, even when He is silent”
Those powerful lyrics help to put things in perspective. If someone, when one group of people was slaughtering another simply for being different, can hold out hope and faith for a better tomorrow, what excuse do we have?
It’s likely that none of us will ever face a situation like the Holocaust but people still complain about their present circumstances, believing that the world has somehow conspired against them. Even when it may not appear like it, even when all hope appears to be lost, God is still in control. He is still working and will never leave nor forsake us.
Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”

Are you looking for a song to motivate you about the power and strength of our God? Look no further and check out this incredible new song by Brooke Ligertwood - Fear of God.
The beginning of this song has a powerful instrumental. We see riveting clips of studio recording sessions and live worship events. We get close-ups of electric guitars and Brooke behind a microphone.
She begins singing a very catchy melody. The lyrics are proclaiming the power of Jesus against Satan. It is an empowering message of hope and confidence in the work of Christ.
The chorus sings out impactfully:
In the blink of an eye and a trumpet sound
We will be changed by a supernatural power
So lift up your voice if God's called you too
While we're still here we've got work to do
We see back-to-back clips of the musicians in this creative display of work. The words remind us that Jesus is coming back and there will be a last day, but right now, we call on our great God to work and move because we are still on His mission. He has called all who believe in Him to go and make disciples of all nations. We have the best news in the world that we get to share with others.
Brooke reminds us that we all have failures, but Christ has won the war with sin and death. We have the victory in Him. She excitedly and visibly extols the Lord through her singing and physical expressions of praise. This song has an edgy rock feel to it. The style of music gives us a feeling of readiness and anticipation of the return of our King.
Are you ready for Jesus’ return? May we live each day in the victory and on the mission that He has entrusted to us.
“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.” Revelation 22:12
Listen to Condy Carnes perform ‘Firm Foundation He Won’t) combined with ‘Great Are You Lord.”
The music will set you firmly on solid ground and anchored in God’s greatness. Cody reminds us to put our faith in the Lord. We will never be disappointed. Yet, we’re flawed human beings, and we put our faith in silly things. We have faith that our car will get us from home to work.
We have faith that the roof over our heads will keep us dry and warm. We have faith the mail will be delivered every day. In the grand scheme of life, these everyday moments are trivial when we compare them to God.
Cody wrote Firm Foundation as a reminder to stand firm in your faith when everything else seems to be faltering. He wanted to write a song that reflected the declarative promises in Matthew 7 when Jesus shared the story of two houses, one built on solid ground, the other built on sand.
The story proclaims Jesus will not fail us no matter how much the ground shakes or how hard the winds might blow. If we build our lives and faith on the Rock of Christ, we can face any storm.
“Christ is my firm foundation. The rock on which I stand. When everything around me is shaken. I've never been more glad. That I put my faith in Jesus. 'Cause He's never let me down. He's faithful through generations, so why would He fail now?”
What a blessed assurance and faith-boosting confidence God’s Word gives us. We can rest securely in His mighty hands. Through Him all things are possible. We hope this sound grounded you in God’s promises today.
Matthew 7:24-25 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.”
