Worship the Lord as contemporary Christian artist Matt Redman performs a live rendition of ‘Son Of Suffering.’ As you hear these words, remember that God has given us the greatest gift by sacrificing His Son to save us all from our sins.
“Blood and tears, how can it be
There's a God who weeps, there's a God who bleeds
Oh praise the One who would reach for me,
Hallelujah to the Son of Suffering”
Matt Redman has been a staple in the Christian music scene for decades. Over the years, he has given us beloved hits such as “Bless The Lord (10,000 Reasons)” and “Gracefully Broken.” And “Bless The Lord (10,000 Reasons)” even went on to win 2 Grammy awards and multiple Dove awards.
Today, Matt is sharing a live performance of his single, ‘Son Of Suffering’ and it’s full of love and praise for the Lord.
“Your cross, my freedom, Your stripes, my healing
All praise King Jesus, glory to God in Heaven
Your blood still speaking, Your love still reaching
All praise King Jesus, glory to God forever”
On Instagram, Matt shared the inspiration behind the song. “It’s astounding to think that we worship One who is infinitely holy, and yet walked the same dirt as you and me. One they called a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief and familiar with suffering.”
Jesus died for our sins and now we are all forgiven. What a beautiful gift that we will continue giving thanks for each and every day.
John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.”
Listen to this recording of the hymn ‘Give Me Jesus’ from Lynda Randle and Little Big Town's Kimberly Schlapman.
“In the morning, when I rise, in the morning, when I rise, in the morning, when I rise
Give me Jesus, give me Jesus, give me Jesus, you can have all this world
But give me Jesus, and when I am alone, oh, and when I am alone
And when I am alone, give me Jesus, give me Jesus, give me Jesus
You can have all this world but give me Jesus”
These two artists do an incredible job singing this powerful hymn together. Lynda starts off the song, and then Kimberly joins her. Their voices blend together so beautifully!
“In a world where people are crazy and folks are not getting along, we need more of this. But especially in the body of Christ, we need this,” Lynda says to Kimberly. “We need it bad,” Kimberly replies.
“I’ve heard people do these songs and they don’t understand, like, what it’s born out of, right?” shares Lynda. “You’ve got people working in the fields. They were tired, they were worn, they had been abused and mistreated. And their like, ‘God, in the morning when I rise, I wanna see Jesus, give me Jesus.’”
Lynda is talking about how the song ‘Give Me Jesus’ is known as a spiritual, and spirituals are an expression of the Christian faith seen through the lens of slavery and set to music. “Spirituals are powerful, beautiful music of sorrow and hope.” In his autobiography, Frederick Douglass describes spirituals as “those simple and apparently incoherent songs” with “strong, long and profound accents” that “breathed the prayers and complaints of souls suffering the most cruel anguish. Each voice was a witness against slavery and a prayer that God would deliver us from our chains.”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to this powerful rendition of ‘Give Me Jesus’ today!
Worship along as for KING & COUNTRY performs a special rendition of their song, ‘Love Me Like I Am.’ As you hear these words, remember that God always stands by our side and supports us each step of the way.
“I am a little uneven
In need of a little more healing now
Yes I am. And I feel a little unfixable
You're nothing short of a miracle now cause somehow You're still with me”
Brothers Luke and Joel Smallbone make up the Christian duo for KING & COUNTRY. This Grammy-winning duo are known for songs such as ‘God Only Knows’ and ‘Priceless.’ They’ve performed for sold-out audiences all over the globe and they do it all to give praise to God’s Holy Name.
Today, they are sharing a special studio session of their hit single, ‘Love Me Like I Am.’ Just listen as they belt out these lyrics of thanks and praise to the Lord.
“Oh, I don't know how You do it
And I know I put You through it
Yeah, It's amazing that You can
Love me like I, Love me like I am”
On Instagram, the duo shared the heart behind ‘Love Me Like I Am.’ “A song celebrating those who love us despite our flaws, and a God who does the same.”
1 John 5:13 “These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
You have got to listen to this amazing folk duo sing this medley of 'House Of The Rising Sun’ and ‘Amazing Grace.'
“There is a house way down in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy, and God I know I'm one
Mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans
And my father was a gamblin' man, down in New Orleans”
The singers in the music video are Nate Jones and Taylor Haring, and they make up the group called Athens Creek. The lead guitarist in the video is Oscar Sosa. All of them together sound incredible, and the vocals and harmonies in the song are just wonderful! And their unique approach of blending 'House Of The Rising Sun’ and ‘Amazing Grace' is quite impressive.
“I love the juxtaposition of these songs sung together at the end,” writes one person on YouTube after watching the music video. “The desperation and pain of ‘The House of the Rising Sun’ being sung, even as the answer to those pains is delivered in ‘Amazing Grace.’ It was well performed by the group, and a huge congratulation goes to the arranger of the piece.”
“In my 76 years, I have heard many renditions of ‘House of the Rising Sun,’ but this rendition is quite possibly the best that I have heard, at least in my opinion,” comments another person online. “Your voices meld together yet remain separate, and blow the roof off the joint! Impeccable lead guitar playing, also!”
The band in the video, Athens Creek, is a country rock band out of Southeast Michigan, with a true Americana sound. And according to their YouTube page, they have been described as “the perfect blend between modern and classic and an excellent listening band for all ages.”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to this medley today!
Check out the official music video for ‘I See Grace’ by Micah Tyler.
“I’ve seen shame, the kind that comes from mistakes, the kind that won’t go away
When I turned around, they were right there to remind me, I’ve seen regret
The kind that messes with your head, the failures and the can’t forgets
But standing here now, I’m thanking God it’s behind me
Cause I’ve seen nail scarred hands, reach out and wipe it all away”
‘I See Grace’ is such a powerful and uplifting song and one that you could listen to over and over again! It is filled with so much truth and the music is just wonderful to listen to.
Zach Kale, one of the co-writers of the song, shared a little bit about how ‘I See Grace’ came to be.
"Last Christmas, I was walking through the most difficult season of my life. Out of that pain I wrote ‘I See Grac’ with my brothers Micah Tyler and Matthew West. Micah, being the rockstar he is, recorded it,” Zach said.
"There's a verse in the Bible (Philippians 1:6) that says, he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ, When I find myself stressed, anxious, depressed, angry, uncertain of what decision to make, hopeless, or a thousand other emotions, I remind myself to look back at God's goodness/faithfulness in my life. Because when I look back... I SEE GRACE and if Philippians is true and God is who He says He is, then I believe grace is with me now and will meet me in the future as well."
We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘I See Grace’ today! May the song remind you of God’s goodness in your life, and may you praise His name when you think about His faithfulness.
Remember the goodness of God as the Newsboys perform their powerful new song, ‘I Still Believe You’re Good.’
“You keep every promise, every word is true
There’s beauty from the ashes in everything You do
Even in the valley I still believe
You’re good”
The Newsboys was originally founded in 1985. Though there have been various members, the current lineup is comprised of Michael Tait, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Jody Davis.
For decades, this Christian rock band has led us in worship with hits such as ‘God’s Not Dead’ and ‘We Believe.’
Today, they’re sharing the official music video for their newest single, ‘I Still Believe You’re Good.’
“I’m finding a peace that’s real, no matter the way I feel
One way or another You heal
You’re going to turn my broken into whole
Turn my hopeless into hope, God no matter where I go You lead”
The group traveled all the way to Wales to film this special music video. On Instagram, they wrote, “I Still Believe You’re Good is one of our favorite songs off of STAND, and so when the opportunity to film a music video for it in the United Kingdom came up, it was a no brainer.”
From the scenery to the lyrics, this worship song is the perfect way to praise His Holy Name. Who else agrees?
