Check out this final song from Air1’s worship session with Cody Carnes as he performs “Take You At Your Word.” You may find yourself on your feet and singing along with these spirit-filled musicians!
There’s nothing better than a beautiful old hymn. “In the Garden” and “The Old Rugged Cross” speak to our souls, often moving worshippers and sometimes mourners to tears. There’s also nothing better than a rousing, upbeat tribute to Jesus.
Christian singer, songwriter, and worship leader Cody Carnes was born in Atlanta and raised in Texas, and Dallas is where he began making music while serving as the worship pastor at Gateway Church. His solo career was launched in 2017, and these days the three-time Grammy nominee lives in Nashville with his wife, Kari Jobe, and their two sons. The couple now serves in their home church, The Belonging Company.
Here, he sings and plays the acoustic guitar. Cody is joined by a keyboardist, electric guitarist, and percussionist, as well as a dozen or so background singers—hands raised, eyes closed, dancing, smiling, heads bobbing, fists pumping, and emitting joy. They are a pleasure to watch and hear!
The words of the song give them and us a reason to be joyful.
It's a narrow road that leads to life
But I want to be on it
It's a narrow road, but the mercy's wide
'Cause You're good on Your promise
Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of things that we can be certain about; people fail one another all the time. We can, however, trust in Jesus. He is true and trustworthy! The folks singing, playing, and praising together during this worship session feel that. They know that to be true!
Air1 is a Christian American radio network, founded in 1986 under another name, that has as its mission “to create compelling media that inspires and encourages you to have a meaningful relationship with Christ.”
“Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.” Psalms 145:13
Several supremely talented young people beautifully performed a Lauren Daigle hit.
Lauren Daigle is one of the biggest names in Christian music today. Already in her young career, Lauren is responsible for producing such hits as “Rescue,” “Trust in You,” and “Thank God I Do.” However, her most popular and recognizable song is, without a doubt, “You Say.”
Lauren’s songs are also popular targets for covers. YouTube is littered with videos of other musicians covering her hits. Once again, “You Say” appears to be the most covered of her songs. One of those groups who performed Lauren’s massive hit is the Rise Up Children’s Choir.
In a video posted to YouTube, approximately two dozen children sing the 2018 track, which experienced huge crossover success. The children, who wear long, golden gowns and suit jackets and ties, sing in an intricately and elegantly decorated cathedral.
The short, one-minute video perfectly captures the group’s outstanding vocal performance of the popular song. Their harmonies are beautiful, with different parts of the choir vocalizing separate sections of the song all at the same time. It’s literally music to the ears of those in the audience and anyone who views the clip.
The children’s performance is terrific and likely to be appreciated by anyone and everyone who is lucky enough to come across it.
On the About section of their YouTube channel, the choir states they are “Utah’s premiere contemporary vocal performance group.” The choir is on a mission to change the world with music, literally. They describe their aim as to “uplift, entertain, and transform our world through music!”
Rise Up Children’s Choir is made up of members between five and 18 years of age.
1 Corinthians 14:15 “What is it then? I will pray with my spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.”
Watch this music video of a trio of men performing a mesmerizing rendition of the song ‘Be Still My Soul.’
The musicians in the video make up the group known as Simply Three, and the members include Glen McDaniel on violin, Zack Clark on cello, and Nicholas Villalobos on bass. The band shared a message on their YouTube page about their feelings on releasing their rendition of the song ‘Be Still My Soul.’

Our new album 'All Amazed' is filled with arrangements that we absolutely love, so please check them all out and let us know your favorite track(s) and why. Love you guys!” the band writes.
According to their YouTube page, Simply Three “has been captivating audiences worldwide with high-octane performances since 2010. Acclaimed as ‘having what it takes’ (Boston Philharmonic) and ‘highly imaginative and well played’ (Maine Today), Simply Three continues to receive praise for their ability to impress listeners with a multitude of genres that span from Puccini and Gershwin to artists such as Adele, Coldplay, and Michael Jackson.
By reshaping convention through this style of genre hopping, the trio continues to seek the true essence of classical crossover with original works as well as innovative arrangements that showcase their technical virtuosity and heartfelt musicality.”
In this music video, Simply Three is playing the hymn ‘Be Still My Soul’ while heartbreaking scenes of loss and destruction flash across the screen. But as the song takes a more hopeful turn, a sense of resilience is felt. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking production from the talented trio.
We hope that you enjoyed listening to Simply Three’s version of the hymn ‘Be Still My Soul’ today.

The song ‘Goodness of God’ is so beautiful, and Jenn Johnson of Bethel Music shared about how the song came about during the adoption process of their son, Ryder.
“During the adoption process, I found myself driving on a long country road. I was just singing to the Lord when I recorded a song on my phone about the "faithfulness" and "kindness of God." I wrote and sang most of "Goodness of God" as an overflow of my heart at that moment,” she said.
We hope that you enjoyed listening to Caleb + Kelsey’s rendition of ‘Goodness of God’ today and it was able to bring you some encouragement.

A group of talented musicians covers one of the most popular songs to come out of Christian music within the last couple of years.
Performing another musician’s songs, especially when the band or track is widely known, is always a tall task. Listeners will inevitably judge the cover against the original version. It’s a natural reaction because that’s the version listeners are familiar with since it came first.
However, one group of musicians may not run into the same issue that other performers may encounter when covering songs. The Piano Guys, as their channel’s name indicates, perform piano instrumental covers of popular tracks.
In a video posted to YouTube, The Piano Guys covered “Love Me Like I Am” originally by For King & Country. It’s a beautiful and dazzling cover, which makes for an easy and repeatable listen. Even without the lyrics, one can still appreciate the artistry and talent to pull off such a cover.
Others commented on the YouTube video and mentioned their love and overwhelming support of The Piano Guys’ instrumental performance of For King & Country’s hit.
“I’m 13 years old and I’ve listened and loved Piano guys and For King and Country since forever!! This is beautiful thank you!” one person posted.
“Yes. A peaceful, calm, down to earth, godly, fun and no drama kind of love,” a second YouTube user wrote.
“Beautiful rendition. Thank you for sharing joy,” another person added.
The group is composed of four guys who enjoy making instrumental music. The About section on their YouTube channel states their mission is to “inspire and spread hope through incomparably imaginative piano music videos filmed all over the world.”
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.”
Three talented musicians performed a beloved hymn with a timeless, moving message.
If it were not for the gift of God’s grace, no one would have a shot at eternal life. Without God, humanity would be condemned to live the rest of its days in sin and shame. However, because of God’s unending and unceasing love for humanity, He sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die and to take our place upon that cross so that “whoever believes in Him may not perish but have everlasting life.”
While many songwriters have tried to express this astounding and confounding gift of grace, no song has been able to do so as successfully as “Amazing Grace.” It’s a beautiful song, filled with memorable lyrics that so perfectly and beautifully articulate the change God’s “amazing grace” has made in the lives of many.
In a video posted to YouTube, the trio of musicians, known as Simply Three, play a beautiful, melodic and captivating instrumental version of the iconic and beloved hymn “Amazing Grace.”
"Amazing Grace" has been played and performed thousands of times by hundreds of performers, so the lyrics do not need to be sung. The words are so powerful and moving that most already know them by heart.
“Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see”
In addition to the sweet sounds created by the three musicians, the video’s visuals are stunning. There are thrilling, sweeping shots of the vast and breathtaking locations where the musicians perform. In the video’s opening moments, text points out how the Lord has blessed us with an Earth filled with gorgeous scenery and extraordinary views.
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.”
For Christians, the suffering of Jesus Christ is an important subject because they hold that it was through his suffering and sacrifice on the cross that humanity's need for redemption was made possible. One of the most well-known historical occurrences in Christianity is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which is recorded in the Bible. God, who was willing to suffer alongside humanity in order to deliver them from sin and a life of eternal torment, viewed His suffering and death as an act of love.
It has also been proposed that through Jesus Christ's suffering, death can be changed from an end to a beginning. His death and resurrection are thought to have transformed birth pains into birth pangs, opening the doors to eternal life for humanity. This conviction gives Christians hope that there is a promise of eternal life and a new nature even in the midst of suffering and death.
The Christian response to the issue of suffering and evil is to put our faith in God and entrust all of our worries to Him. The Bible claims that everything in our lives, including the difficulties and suffering we experience, can be used by God for good. This viewpoint offers Christians a helpful perspective on who they are and how they relate to those around them. These brief, minor afflictions are thought to be producing for us the eternal weight of glory.
In conclusion, the cross of Jesus Christ is a significant subject in Christianity, and theologians and academics have interpreted it in various ways over time. Whatever the interpretation, it is held that his agony and sacrifice on the cross prepared the way for humanity's redemption and gave suffering a purpose. Christians are urged to put their faith in God and lay all their worries at His feet because they know that He will make everything work out for their best.
Todd Tilghman, a recent winner of The Voice, now has an original song about what will happen to him once he leaves this world.
Death is one of a few certainties in life. Of course, the other, according to the popular saying, is taxes. Regardless, everyone will leave this world eventually. Our time on earth is limited and is not a second longer than the good Lord has permitted.
However, while death will come to us all at one time or another, we can have certainty beyond the grave. Todd, who won The Voice’s season 18, mentions this in his song, “Dig My Grave.”
In the official lyric video posted on YouTube, Todd begins by making the point that every day we’re alive is another moment closer to death. He also adds that death, because of the many unknowns, is a major fear for many. But Todd states that he does not share this fear. Instead, he knows where he’s headed.
“The clock just keeps on spinning
Everybody fears the end
But a six-foot hole in the clay
Won’t be enough to stand in my way”
In the song’s catchy and toe-tapping chorus, Todd adds that others can and will dig his grave, but it’s not where he will remain. Instead, Todd sings that he has a one-way ticket. He knows where he’s going.
Todd, in the second verse, tells his family and friends to not mourn his death. He informs listeners he is headed to “a brand new home.” He is going to his heavenly reward!
What a terrific example of the confidence available to all in Jesus Christ! All can live life this way and have no fear of death because of the power, love and forgiveness found in Christ.
Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”
Often the simplest and most easily discernible messages make for the best, most moving and touching songs as one group of talented musicians show.
Children who grow up in and attend church with any kind of regularity will pick up on a few things almost immediately. Most will learn how to pray to God and about the truth and love detailed in John 3:16. Also, children will soon become familiar with the song “Jesus Loves Me.”
In a video posted to YouTube, the group Souvenirs Worship performs a beautiful and powerful rendition of “Jesus Loves Me.” Dozens circle around while they sing the beloved and classic song about Christ’s immense love for all of humanity.
In the opening verse, the musicians mention that they know Christ loves them because of the words contained in the Bible. Also, it specifically points out that children hold a special place in Christ’s heart.
“Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong”
While the song’s message is very straightforward and simple, it’s one that many need to be reminded of from time to time. Many today often deal with feelings of inadequacy, that they don’t measure up, that no one cares or they are unworthy of being loved. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Christ willingly gave himself up to die a horrible, painful death upon the cross because of how much he loved everyone in the world. He did and still does care enough to go through that entire ordeal so that humanity may have a shot at eternal life with Him.
Yes, Jesus loves me the Bible tells me so!
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
