Listen to this beautiful acoustic worship performance of the song ‘Praise The King’ by Corey Voss.
“There's a reason why the curse of sin is broken, there's a reason why the darkness
Runs from light, there's a reason why we stand here now, forgiven, Jesus is alive
There’s a reason why we are not overtaken, there’s a reason why we sing on through the night
There’s a reason why our hope remains eternal, Jesus is alive”
What a simple yet powerful song with the most important message to share: Jesus is alive!
Corey Voss talks about how the song ‘Praise The King’ came to be and the impact that the song has had on him.
“‘Praise The King’ was written by Michael Farren, Dustin Smith, Michael Bryce Jr., and myself. This song is a powerful anthem for the Church to sing,” Corey Voss shares. “This lyric and melody speak of the resurrection power of Christ and what He accomplished for us. I believe there are some moments in this song that will help every believer to receive and proclaim the work of Christ in their life.
Corey continues: “I’ve loved the process of seeing this song come to be. When we first wrote it, I said to the guys, ‘This is a perfect song for Easter!’ Michael smiled and said, ‘No, this is an all-year-round song! I would lead this Sunday!’ I’ve had the opportunity to lead it at my home church as well as several other churches that have never heard it before. They all had the same reaction…loud shouts and praise unto the Lord when they sing and recognize ‘There’s a reason why we stand here now forgiven, Jesus is alive!’ What an honor it is to write for His glory and for the nourishment of His people.”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Praise The King’ by Corey Voss, and it was an encouragement for you today.
Listen to this beautiful cover of the hymn ‘How Great Thou Art’ performed by a talented a cappella choir in an empty church.
“Oh Lord, my God, when I, in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art”
The woman singing in the music video is Hannah Hill, and she is performing with an a cappella choir at her alma mater. She has such a beautiful and powerful voice, and there is a lot of passion in her performance when she sings.
“What an amazing angelic voice you have been gifted,” comments one person online after watching the music video. “So beautifully done and sung from the soul, wonderful back up group as well. Heartfelt performance all the way through.”
As for the background of the hymn ‘How Great Thou Art,’ it was written in Sweden by Carl Boberg. He was an author, editor, and member of the Swedish Parliament from 1912 to 1931.
Carl shared some background about the song and how he came to write it: “It was in 1885, and in the time of year when everything seemed to be in its richest coloring; the birds were singing in trees and wherever they could find a perch. On a particular afternoon, some friends and I had been to Kronobäck where we had participated in an afternoon service. As we were returning a thunderstorm began to appear on the horizon. We hurried to shelter. There were loud claps of thunder, and lightning flashed across the sky. Strong winds swept over the meadows and billowing fields of grain. However, the storm was soon over, and the clear sky appeared with a beautiful rainbow."
He continued: "After reaching my home, I opened my window toward the sea. The church bells were playing the tune of a hymn. That same evening I wrote a poem which I titled, 'O Store Gud,' (How Great Thou Art)."
We hope that you enjoyed listening to Hannah Hill’s rendition of this beautiful hymn today!
A group of talented musicians performs a song with a beautiful message, which most people would probably do well to listen to and implement.
Generally, most people have several things that cause them great anxiety or nervousness. There are worries about making next month’s rent, being able to afford groceries and fixing the latest issue with the beat-up, old car. Others may worry about employment issues or medical conditions. Some may even worry they've forgotten to do something or accomplish a specific task.
Yes, a majority of the population is good about fretting and panicking. However, sometimes, it helps to let worries go, give the mind a rest and relax a bit.
In the song “Slow Down” by We Are Messengers, the musicians instruct listeners to not get so worked up over everything. Instead, as the song title indicates, people should remember to “slow down.”
The track's opening verse begins by mentioning what is likely a big fear for many: the bank foreclosing on their house. But instead of immediately worrying about the situation and wondering where to live, something rather odd takes place. The lyrics state that the people mentioned in the song dance in the kitchen.
Instead of fear, dread and worry, the songwriter and the musicians have an unbelievable faith. The lyrics in the song’s chorus state that no matter what happens, everything will be OK.
“Slow down
Don’t have much but I promise you
Whatever comes you know we’ll make it through”
What an idea! Yes, there are things to be concerned about, to be prepared for and to avoid. But at the end of the day, what does worry really accomplish? It only multiplies the problem, adding unnecessary stress.
The Bible mentions that God will never leave or forsake us. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to pray and leave the situation entirely in His hands.
Matthew 6:34 “Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
