The world is filled with unpredictability and unknowns. We do not know what will take place the next day, the next minute or even the next second. Really, the only way to deal with such uncertainty is to ask for help, guidance and protection. That is exactly how one song handles a situation brimming with such unpredictability.
“Tallis’ Canon” by Sounds Like Reign, which is a lullaby, begins by praising the Lord for everything he has done and all that he has accomplished.
But then, understanding that the future is unknown, the songwriter requests that the Lord keep them under his protection for whatever may come up. Next, the song asks the Lord to remove from what is and has always been a major fear of humanity: death.
“Teach me to live that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed
Teach me to die, so that I may rise glorious at the judgment day”
What a powerful request!
Finally, the song, essentially a prayer, concludes by praising and thanking God for all the good and blessings that have transpired in their life.
The song's video shows the singer as she tenderly and sweetly puts her children to bed, giving them their favorite stuffed animal and kissing them goodnight.
The video of the lullaby also shows the singer in a rocking chair holding a baby, who stays sound asleep throughout the entire clip.
Several users publicly stated their love of the song and the singer’s performance.
“It is so sweet to trust in Jesus and teach our kids about him in songs of praises. Well done sister,” one person posted.
Matthew 18:10 “Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.”
Praising and thanking God is easy when times are good and things are going our way. Praising Him amid struggles and awful circumstances and being joyful despite everything can be difficult. However, God’s Word commands us to do just that.
Romans 5:3 reads, “And not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance.” One song from the Cotton Pickin’ Kids is about being happy and content, praising God no matter the situation - good or bad.
The beautiful lyrics of the song “It’s a Beautiful Day,” performed by the six kids, describes someone who has the desire to continually praise and thank God, regardless of what may be taking place.
The chorus of the song helps to drive this point home.
“Lord, thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain
Thank you for joy, thank you for pain
It’s a beautiful day, it’s a beautiful day”
Not only can the kids in the video sing, but they can also more than adequately play several instruments. One child is spotted playing the cello while another child strums on the banjo. The child who is front and center in the video plays the violin as the girl to her left plays the bass guitar.
The amount of musical talent on display in the video is stunning!
The video has already been viewed more than 11,200 times!
People commenting on the video of the kids singing and playing the lovely song are also singing – the praises of the young performers.
“What a great song – done so very well showing much love by a great family with such beautiful names,” one person posted on YouTube. “May God bless you! Best to you on this voyage of music & life!”
Matthew 19:14 “But Jesus said, ‘Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Listen to “Joy In The Morning” with Elevation by Tauren Wells.
Unfortunately, life is filled with many unpleasant experiences and circumstances. At times, it can feel as if the entire world is conspiring against us. As much as we may want to give up, we can rest assured that God is still right there with us as we endure those hardships.
Tauren Wells and the musicians in Elevation Worship loudly proclaim this uplifting and inspiring message about God’s faithfulness and grace.
As the first verse of the song explains, everything that happens in life is for a purpose, even when we don’t like or understand it. However, in order to get peace during those circumstances, we must have faith and hand over those worries to God.
The song also points out that even when it seems impossible to do so, we must keep faith and the belief that God will see us through it. We must hold on to that belief because, as the song’s chorus mentions, joy will soon return.
“If it’s not good, then He’s not done
No, He’s not done with it yet
There will be joy in the morning”
This promise of joy in the morning comes from a verse in Psalms chapter 30.
The amount of musical talent on display in the video to the song “Joy In The Morning” is unbelievable! All three singers belt out the beautifully written song with a ton of emotion.
You can’t listen to this song and not come away in a better, more positive mood!
Whatever troubling situation you’re dealing with, just remember, as it reads in Psalms, something better is coming just over the horizon.
Psalms 30:5 “For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Real, true and honest love is powerful. Love drives people to act selflessly for those whom they cherish and adore. Love will move people to do things they once thought impossible. Love, as they say, can change the world.
The Word of God places a big emphasis on love. In John 15:12, Jesus issued an order concerning the topic of love. Jesus said, “This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.”
The new song, “Beautiful,” by Gene Moore features India.Arie and is all about love and the importance of love. “Beautiful” has a soothing and pleasing R&B sound and feel to it.
Now, there are several different forms of love. There is a romantic love between a husband and a wife. Also, there is brotherly love like the feelings between close friends and the kind of love a parent has for a child.
However, the lyrics to “Beautiful” points to more of a romantic love, similar to that between a husband and a wife.
The song’s second verse mentions several reasons why the songwriter loves this other person, including that their love comes from Heaven and does not compare to any other kind of love they’ve felt before.
The song’s chorus indicates what has happened since this person entered their life.
“Every day with you is so beautiful, what you do to me is unusual
Better than any, better than any, better than anything I’ve ever had
Every day with you is so beautiful, what you do to me is unusual”
“Beautiful” is a charming and lovely sung song with an infectious melody and lyrics that are sure to get stuck in your head. Be sure to give “Beautiful” a listen!
1 Corinthians 13:13 “But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three: and the greatest of these is love.”
Growing and changing, in general, can be a difficult and painful process. Whether we like it or not, we are constantly changing and always growing. We may grow in stature, knowledge, wisdom or age. One new song perfectly captures this idea of a season of growth and change.
“So Long Dixie” by the group Home Free talks about this time of growth and clearly articulates how tough change can be in life.
The song's video opens with a couple of shots of gorgeous landscapes and scenery. The picturesque settings act almost as a central figure in the YouTube video. The awe-inspiring backgrounds are featured prominently in nearly every shot of the video.
Seconds after the beautiful establishing shots, we next see a singer and a guitarist standing along a dirt road in the middle of a rolling field with breathtaking rock formations in the background.
The song’s lyrics begin right away with this idea of change. They mention that despite all the knowledge and life experiences obtained from a place, it is just time to move on.
“So Long Dixie, it’s time to let you go
It’s awful hard to do with roots this strong
You’re just on the wrong end of a one-way road”
The musicians add that despite the inevitable change, they are not ashamed of where they grew up. Their place of birth taught them and helped make them who they are today.
As the song’s lyrics state, their place of birth taught them how to pray, work, play and defend themselves.
People on YouTube commenting on the video stated how much they love and appreciate the song.
“I love their covers, but man, their originals like this one really allows us to get to know the guys better. It also shows how immensely talented they are,” one person wrote.
Hebrews 6:1 “For this reason let us go on from the first things about Christ to full growth; not building again that on which it is based, that is, the turning of the heart from dead works, and faith in God,”
