Christian artists Cody Carnes and Natalie Grant praise the Lord with a live rendition of ‘Good To Be Loved.’
“How You saved me, how You changed me
Amazing grace
I’m no longer an orphan, a captive, a fool
It’s good to be loved by You”
Singer-songwriter Cody Carnes felt a call to worship music from a very young age. In fact, he was just a teenager when he led his first worship service. Since that time, Cody has continued to write music and perform in various bands.
In 2017, he set out on a solo career and it’s been a non-stop worship concert since.
Another notable name in Christian music is Natalie Grant. Natalie has been a staple in the Christian music scene. With hit songs such as ‘Hurricane’ and ‘Held,’ she has truly cemented herself as a talented worship leader.
Now, these two powerhouse artists are coming together for a live performance of ‘Good To Be Loved.’
Just listen as they belt out these words of praise to our King.
“How sweet it is to walk with you Jesus
It is better than life
One thing is certain, I know one thing is true
It’s good to be loved by You”
These lyrics are the perfect reminder that God has given us so many gifts and we should give thanks each and every day. What a blessing to praise His Holy Name through song!
Ephesians 5:20 “Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Take a step back in time as Andrea Bocelli and his children, Matteo and Virgina, sing the classic words of ‘Over The Rainbow.’
This special song was made famous by Judy Garland in the 1939 film ‘Wizard Of Oz.’ Since that time, this tune has been covered by countless artists and cemented its place in history as one of the best, and most beautiful, songs of all time.
“Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true”
For decades, Andrea has been showcasing his incredible vocals with songs such as ‘The Prayer’ and ‘Time To Say Goodbye.’ After a 14-year hiatus from releasing an album, Andrea produced ‘Si’ in 2018.
This international success proved that this Italian vocalist is still a powerhouse. And Andrea has shown no signs of slowing down with several high-profile collaborations and even a record-breaking classical live stream on YouTube.
Now, it’s making it a true family affair as he performs with his children Matteo and Virginia. Just listen as they belt out the iconic words of ‘Over The Rainbow.’
“Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me”
On YouTube, the family shared that ‘Over The Rainbow’ will be featured on their upcoming Christmas album, ‘A Family Christmas.’ They shared, “We are offering our small, intimate, and heartfelt gift to anyone who wishes to enjoy the soundtrack of Christmas in the Bocelli home.”
Who else is looking forward to more Christmas songs from this beloved family.
Listen to this beautiful live performance from Passion and featuring Chidima of the song ‘I Speak Jesus.’
“I just wanna speak the name of Jesus over every heart and every mind
'Cause I know there is peace within Your presence, I speak Jesus
I just wanna speak the name of Jesus 'til every dark addiction starts to break
Declaring there is hope and there is freedom, I speak Jesus
'Cause Your name is power, Your name is healing, Your name is life
Break every stronghold, shine through the shadows, burn like a fire”
This incredible song came from the ministry collective known as Here Be Lions. And the group of people who gathered to write ‘I Speak Jesus’ were Dustin Smith, Jesse Reeves, Carlene Prince, Raina Pratt, Kristen Dutton, and Abby Benton.
“The song came as easy as it sounds,” shared Dustin Smith. “Jesse Reeves prayed over us before we started writing and just said, ‘I just want to speak the name of Jesus over these people.’ That was it. The whole prayer. Nothing more. Nothing less. When we went to write I asked if we could write a song based on his prayer. He said, ‘all I did was say the name of Jesus.’ And that is all I want to say over my congregation, over my family, over my sickness, over depression and anxiety. All we needed was a melody because we already had the most powerful word…Jesus. There is mighty power in the name of Jesus.”
When Passion is singing this song in this music video, it is powerful to see all the people in the arena and on the stage worshipping together and raising up the name of Jesus. And the lyrics of this song remind us that when we speak the name of Jesus over people, anything is possible.
We hope that you were encouraged by this performance of ‘I Speak Jesus’ today!

Listen to this incredible song called ‘Let My Life Be Worship’ by Bethel Music featuring Jenn Johnson and Michaela Gentile.
“This moment is holy and I hear You calling, I turn my face towards You
And my heart is open, You’re always pursuing and my life’s surrendered
You have my affection, so let my life be worship and let my heart stay true
May my love never grow cold, may it burn forevermore, may my life be worship to You”
The writers of this powerful song are Jenn Johnson, Jess Cates, Michaela Gentile, and Sam Hart. And ‘Let My Life Be Worship’ is part of Bethel Music’s new album titled Simple.
“This album focuses on the simplicity of intimate worship with God,” Bethel Music writes on their website. “We want to give the Lord our most honest, vulnerable selves and this album guides us into that desired heart posture before the Lord. As a movement, Bethel Music has been brought back to this word ‘Simple’ time and time again over the last couple of years. This project, from the lyrics and melodies to the visual landscape, has the concept of ‘simple’ woven through it. There is something so special about simplifying our worship and focusing on our song to Him, and that is exactly what this album does.”
‘Let My Life Be Worship,’ along with the rest of their songs on the new album, were recorded in Redding, CA and were captured in real time with no overdubs or augmentation.
“Our heart was to bring as real and genuine an offering as possible, and we feel confident that we have managed to accomplish just that,” writes Bethel Music. “The intentionality of every note, lyric placement, and chord progression translates through each song, as does the tender heart of each person involved. Our prayer is that you are able to pull up a chair and soak in the beauty and authenticity of this project the way we have.”
We hope that this beautiful song was able to encourage you today!
Prepare for goosebumps as the angelic vocals of Celtic Woman perform ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.
This iconic song was originally a show tune from the musical Carousel. Talented composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote the song in 1945.
In later years, other artists lent their vocals to the tune and gave it mainstream media attention. Elvis Presley released his rendition of the single in 1967 and even titled his album after the song.
“When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.”
Today, the amazing vocalists of Celtic Woman are putting their own spin on this beloved tune. This incredible all-female group comes from the creators of Riverdance.
Over the years, Celtic Woman has introduced millions to the sounds of Ireland and, in the process, become a global phenomenon. Their pure tones and hauntingly beautiful harmonies put them in a league all their own.
Just listen as they belt out the words to ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’
“Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.”
These lyrics always make me think of our Lord and His constant presence in our lives. He walks with us each step of the way and we can rest assured that He will always be there to guide us home.
Job 11:18 “And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yes, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.”
