Two immensely talented musicians performed a song about God’s love and shifting our focus and direction onto Him.
Life is often a busy, bustling, chaotic experience and filled with distractions. Daily life, with all its demands and obligations, can shift our focus onto things that are either wrong or don’t even matter in the first place.
In the video for the song “Kinda Wild,” Christian musicians JUDAH. and Ellie Holcomb sing about God’s amazing love. They also request that God turn their focus and shift their attention in a different direction. They both sing about their desire to see and understand the work God has been performing in their lives.
The song’s opening verse is a series of questions posed to God, asking Him how he’s working in their lives. They want to know what method He is using to communicate with them because they don’t want to miss it.
In order to not miss a message from the Lord, the chorus asks God to reorient their focus so that they can better pick up on Him working in their lives.
“So come and change my focus
I don’t notice where you’re going near enough
Come and change my focus
Help us know what you’ve been doing over us”
The song’s second verse also asks God about His chosen communication method. Also, the lyrics state that the singers may have overlooked God’s presence in their lives. They have been going after something, working toward a goal but they’ve been too busy and blind to notice God has been near them the entire time.
On his YouTube channel, JUDAH states what he hopes to do with his music. He wants to “scream out Christ’s love to followers and doubters alike, and share the real grace and redemption that’s been found by someone walking in their shoes.”
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.”
Check out this wonderful acoustic performance by Cody Carnes of the song ‘Plead The Blood.’
“Here and now I draw a boundary, against every weapon that’s formed, the thief and his plans
Will pass over when he sees the red on the door, I plead the blood, the enemy
Can’t take my family cause this home belongs to the Lord, so I’m not afraid to remind him
That he has no claim in this war, I plead the blood, I plead the blood of Jesus”
What a great song and acoustic performance from Cody Carnes! ‘Plead The Blood’ shares the hopeful message of freedom from condemnation, and also brings in the classic hymn ‘Nothing But The Blood’ that shares the same sentiment. Similar to the old hymn, ‘Plead The Blood’ recognizes that in Christ’s blood, “my freedom’s been purchased in full.”
The song ‘Plead The Blood’ was written by Chris Davenport, Cody Carnes, and Brandon Lake, along with Pat Barrett and Alexander Pappas. And Chris Davenport shared what the team imagined when they were creating the song.
"When we wrote 'Plead The Blood,' we imagined a song that could serve as a spiritual applicator for Christians everywhere, a song that confesses the blood of Jesus over every area and circumstance in our lives," Chris said. "So, wherever you hear it, my prayer is that it reminds you of the most powerful defense, the most assured claim that you can wield – the blood of Jesus."
We hope that you enjoyed listening to this beautiful acoustic performance by Cody Carnes of the song ‘Plead The Blood’ today. May it bring you hope and encouragement!
Matthew 26:28
This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Check out the music video for ‘Who Is Like The Lord' from Passion with Kristian Stanfill and Landon Wolfe.
“Who was there before there was creation, who illuminates the stars and sun
Who has set eternity in motion, there is just One, who can calm the storm with just a whisper
Who can make the darkest demons run, who can break the curse of generations
There is just One, the mighty Lion of Judah, the pure and spotless Lamb”
What an incredible song that will have you singing praises to our Heavenly Father. And the simple music video really highlights the song and the power behind the lyrics.
The message of ‘Who Is Like The Lord’ focuses on God’s attributes, and it was written by Kristian Stanfill, Sean Curran, and Jeff Pardo. Some of the scripture references in the song include Revelation 1:8, Revelation 5:5, and Psalm 89:6-8.
The song lyrics mention “the mighty Lion of Judah” and “the pure and spotless Lamb” who is “the Alpha and Omega, the good and great I Am.” When we listen to the lyrics, we are reminded of how great our God is and how He bows low to love us.
He isn’t a far-off, distant God, but He is near and lavishes His love on us. When you think about the great disparity between us, you can not help but be overwhelmed and worship Him.
We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Who Is Like The Lord' today and the song was able to bring you joy.
Psalm 89:6-7
For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings? In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.
Check out this wonderful live performance by Canton Junction of their song ‘I’m Free.’
“So long I had searched for life’s meaning, enslaved by the world and my greed;
Then the door of the prison was opened by love, for the ransom was paid, I was freed.
I’m free from the fear of tomorrow; I’m free from the guilt of the past; for I’ve traded my shackles
For a glorious song; I’m free, praise the Lord, free at last! I’m free from the guilt that I carried”
What a great song with an incredible message. And the members of Canton Junction did an amazing job with this live performance in Indianapolis, IN.
The members of Canton Junction include Matt Hagee, Tim Duncan, Casey Rivers, and ACM Award-winning vocalist/musician Gordon Mote. Their individual resumes include Grammy Award nominations, multiple GMA Dove Awards, and Singing News Fan Awards. They are such a talented group that is united by their love for music, family, and the desire to proclaim in song what God has done in their lives.
In an interview, Canton Junction shares about how their song ‘I’m Free’ has a special meaning to them. “The message of the song ‘I'm Free’ has always spoken to me. Freedom is something that everyone craves, and when it comes to our spiritual freedom none of us deserve it. We should be bound in the chains of our sin and transgressions to a pure and Holy God. However, because of what God has done for us by giving us Jesus Christ as a sacrifice for our sin, you and I have been set free; and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. As the song so beautifully puts it, ‘I've traded my shackles for a glorious song, I'm free, praise the Lord free at last!’ I'm not sure I'll ever get over that.”
We hope you enjoyed listening to ‘I’m Free’ by Canton Junction today!
This is one of the best new Christian songs out there. Take a listen and enjoy the creativity in this video. 'Jesus Does' We The Kingdom Official Music Video.
At the start of this video, we see a young girl in a beautiful white dress at a lake with a waterfall. She gets in a boat and appears to give up and falls out into the waters. As she swims tired back to shore, she has just a little strength to get out and begin to pull her boat back by the ropes.
The chorus says:
“So we sing praise to the Father who gave us the Son
Praise to the Spirit who's livin' in us
When I was a sinner, He saved me from who I was
'Cause that's what Jesus does.”
The girl then realizes that there are the hands of God pulling the weight of the rope with her. Suddenly, she exits the waters (Now as a woman) relieved.
Next we see a boy roaming the woods, looking up for the sunlight and digging in the dirt. There is a man (The boy grown up) trapped buried under the ground that the boy is digging out. We see the hands of God encouraging the boy as he digs. The man escapes the grave and the woman escapes from drowning because of the work of Jesus. The band is then seen dancing and celebrating in the rain that Jesus has saved them from their sins.
Suddenly, the band appears in their children form again. They are symbolizing how Jesus invites us as sinners (through his death and resurrection) to bring all who believe in Him into the family of God as His children. This is a very unique and fun depiction of that truth.
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Check out this worship performance by Luke Finch from The Revelation Room of their song ‘I Was Made.’
“I am a temple, Your Tabernacle, a dwelling place, a space you call Your own
There’s no rhyming or reason, simply I am a vessel, this jar of clay you made
To be Your home, so come home, I was made, I was made
I was made to be Your home”
This is an amazing worship song with powerful lyrics and touching vocals. The words and music for ‘I Was Made’ was written by Luke Finch and Ali McFarlane. And The Revelation Room, which is a prophetic worship movement that seeks to raise and equip a generation of modern day Levites, recently collaborated with Global Prophetic Alliance while recording ‘I Was Made’ and a handful of other songs from their new album in Glasgow, Scotland.
It is powerful to watch everyone in the music video using their voices to sing out ‘I Was Made’ together while worshiping our Heavenly Father. From the musicians and the vocalists, to the other people in the room, they are all so focused on the Lord. The humble atmosphere of worship can definitely be felt when witnessing them all sing ‘I Was Made.’
“Anyone can feel the presence of Him throughout the entire song! Amazing!” one person comments on YouTube after watching the music video.
“What a beautiful song on identity! I can see people singing this and coming into their identity in Christ! Beautiful!” writes another person online.
We hope that you enjoyed watching this music video from The Revelation Room of their new song ‘I Was Made’ and it was able to bring you some joy and encouragement today.

Check out this live worship performance from Bethel Music of Hannah McClure and Amanda Cook singing the song ‘Precious Blood.’
“Guardian and keeper of my soul, laid to rest to make for us a home, blameless Son
And perfect cornerstone, all my sin Your sacred gift atoned, oh the precious blood of Christ
How it held me through the night, oh it brought me back to life, I am alive
By the precious blood of Christ, love has paid to make me whole again”
What an incredible and beautiful song with a message that will lift your soul. And seeing Amanda Cook and the rest of the band pour it out for Jesus while they are singing is so wonderful to see.
‘Precious Blood’ is a celebratory anthem of new life in Jesus and the acknowledgement of the sacrifice He made to provide an eternal home to us all. It was written by Hannah McClure, Paul McClure, Amanda Lindsey Cook, and John-Paul Gentile. And ‘Precious Blood’ is part of Bethel Music’s newest album titled Come Up Here. Each song of this album is an invitation to the listener to draw near to God in a profound and transformative way.
When you listen to ‘Precious Blood,’ the lyrics remind us how amazing it is that we are made new in every way because of the sacrifice of Jesus. And the same power that raised him from the grave is the same power that is in each of us through the Holy Spirit. There is nothing more incredible than that!

Hebrews 9:14
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
Ready for an anointing from the Lord, listen to ‘Graves Into Gardens performed by Brandon Lake live from Passion. Do you ever find restlessness in your soul? You search for something to fill. Time and time again, we’re left feeling emptier than before. Relationships, career promotions, and otherworldly things don’t touch the emptiness we feel until we turn to Jesus. He is the only one who can fill it. Brandon reminds us there is nothing better than Jesus, our Savior and Lord in this beautiful worship song. He turns our mourning into dancing, God won’t fail us.
No matter our failures, God still calls us friends. No matter our mistakes, we are washed clean and forgiven. No matter our actions, we have been given mercy and grace. One of the chorus lines truly hits home as we think of all the amazing things Jesus can do. He reminds us we serve a powerful God who cares about every aspect of our lives. And he is truly the only one who can.
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You're the only one who can
No matter what mountain you face, know that Jesus is with you every step of the way. We count our hardships as joy knowing God is using these moments to refine our faith and draw us closer to him. If you are in need of a moment alone with Christ, take a few minutes to let this song play in the background as you remember all the things he has worked for your good and his glory.
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing,” James 1:2-4.
