Check out the official music video for ‘Before I Knew Jesus’ by Leanna Crawford.

“Before I knew Jesus, all I knew was all my shame, unloved was my life story 
Unworthy was my name, had no future, just a long and broken past 
But I’m standing here today to say, Jesus changed all that 
Now I know freedom, now I know hope, now I know love that will never let go 
Forever forgiven, forever I’m changed, and there’s no going back to the day”

What a wonderful song with a beautiful message. We are forever changed when we let Jesus into our lives!

‘Before I Knew Jesus’ was written by Leanna Crawford, Matthew West, and Jeff Pardo. In the music video, Leanna is singing in a beautiful forest, and at the end of the song, 2 Corinthians 5:17 pops up on the screen. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

“Thank you guys so much for watching!” writes Leanna on her YouTube page. “Jesus is so faithful to each one of us, whether you've known Him your whole life or just met Him yesterday. There is no going back to the day before Jesus!”

According to her YouTube page, Leanna Crawford has spent the past two and a half years “writing, touring and singing with some of the biggest names in the Christian music industry. She’s gained more experience than many artists do in a decade, and while her music certainly displays the vocal and songwriting talent of a rising star in CCM, her grounded and honest lyrics make her feel more friend than star and more approachable than untouchable.”

“I hope [listeners] feel that I care about them even if I don’t know them,” says Leanna, “that they would feel loved and encouraged.”

We hope that this beautiful and sincere song was able to uplift your spirits today!

Where He is found in common ground”

Take a step back in time as Cotton Pickin’ Kids perform the Glen Campbell classic, ‘Gentle On My Mind.’

Glen Campbell was a beloved country artist known all around the world for his musical talent. His songs, such as ‘Rhinestone Cowboy’ and ‘Southern Nights’ earned him much praise.

He enjoyed a long career full of success and admiration. Sadly, the world lost this great artist in 2017 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Glen Campbell originally released ‘Gentle On My Mind’ in 1967 and it became an overnight success. He even won 2 Grammy awards that year for the popular song.

“It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch”

Today, this talented bluegrass family band is putting their own spin on ‘Gentle On My Mind.’ Time and time again, The Cotton Pickin’ Kids have blessed us with their beautiful covers and unique sound.

“And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory that keeps you ever gentle on my mind”

People are already loving this unique rendition of ‘Gentle On My Mind.’ One viewer wrote, “Nothing better then y'alls harmony & instrumentals. LOVE IT!!!”

Another said, “I absolutely LOVE the arrangement you guys did on this!!! Beautiful harmonies!!!! Such strong voices from each of you!!!”

What an incredible performance from this musical family.

Check out this music video of a Christian family singing an inspiring cover of the song ‘Tell Your Heart To Beat Again' by Danny Gokey.

“You're shattered like you've never been before, the life you knew
In a thousand pieces on the floor, and words fall short in times like these
When this world drives you to your knees, you think you're never gonna get back
To the you that used to be, tell your heart to beat again, close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away, step into the light of grace, yesterday's a closing door
You don't live there anymore, say goodbye to where you've been
And tell your heart to beat again”

This touching music video was made by the Mullett family. According to their website, this Christian family “serves across the country in sharing their ministry through seminars and songs. For over 30 years, Duane and Cindy have been involved in full-time church ministry and conduct seminars on grief recovery. Throughout their years of ministry, they have been faced with many painful struggles, including the loss of their son, Austin.”

In this music video, three testimonies are shared, and it is beautiful to see how God redeemed their stories. “This song features the stories of three individuals who faced life-altering situations, and the God who always writes the last chapter,” reads the caption of the video. “We hope this final video in the series, Inspiring Faith, does just that. Inspires your faith in a God who redeems even the most painful events in our lives.”

Praise God for how He worked in the lives of these people, and how He shows up in all of our lives!

“Beautiful and so much hope! Thank you for this inspiring video!” comments one person on YouTube after watching this music video from The Mullett Family.

“Praise the Lord for faithful people like you to allow yourself to be touched by Jesus and to share it with us. May God be glorified and honored by you and through you,” writes another person online. “Thanks again for allowing yourselves to be used!”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘Tell Your Heart To Beat Again' today!

Check out this live performance from Hillsong Worship of their new song ‘That’s The Power.’

“There’s a Name that levels mountains, carves out highways through the sea
I’ve seen its power unravel battles right in front of me, there’s a faith that stands defiant
Sends Goliath to his knees, I’ve seen as praise unraveled shackles right off my feet
That’s the power of Your Name, just a mention makes a way, giants fall and strongholds break
And there is healing, that’s the power that I claim, it’s the same that rolled the grave
There’s no power like the mighty Name of Jesus”

This powerful song was written by Michael Fatkin, Benjamin Hastings, and Alexander Pappas. And it is part of the forthcoming live album from Hillsong Worship titled These Same Skies.

“I’m reminded with this song, that the Power in the Name of Jesus isn’t threatened by the power of the enemy’s camp, it’s in fact the other way around!” says Hillsong Worship’s Alexander Pappas. “The power of the name of Jesus is both dangerous and the final say to all the enemy’s plans. We have access to the same power that raised Christ from the dead and I think that is a profound statement that we as the church should never tire of declaring.”

Alexander continues: “My prayer is that this song would be a weapon for the church. A weapon to be used in the triumph and employed in the trials. A song for your situation and a declaration over those we stand in the gap for. I cannot wait to hear some of the testimonies of breakthrough as faith is stirred and worshippers rise up.”

‘That’s The Power’ is an incredible song that celebrates the matchless power of the name of Jesus. And may it remind us that God keeps His promises and that victory in the name of Jesus is the portion of those who trust Him.

The hope of Christ

Check out this talented a cappella choir perform the song ‘Bless the Broken Road’ by Rascal Flatts.

“I set out on a narrow way many years ago, hoping I would find true love
Along the broken road, but I got lost a time or two, wiped my brow
And kept pushing through, I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
That every long lost dream led me to where you are, others who broke my heart,
They were like Northern stars, pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true, that God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you”

What a wonderful performance! The singers in this video are part of the Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones a cappella group, and this performance is from their Spring 2022 concert.

The singers are dressed to the nines in coordinating sliver, black, and white outfits. They look great, sound great, and put on a wonderful show!

“Wow! What a beautiful sound!” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“Chills all around,” writes another person online.

Now when it comes to the song ‘Bless the Broken Road,’ people always associate it with the country group Rascal Flatts. But the song was actually written by Bobby Boyd, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Jeff Hanna, and Marcus Hummon in 1994. NGBD were the first to record the tune, but ‘Bless the Broken Road’ really became a hit when Rascal Flatts released it in 2004.

The version of ‘Bless the Broken Road’ by Rascal Flatts spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. And their song has been certified platinum and earned a Grammy Award for Best Country Song.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to the Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones version of ‘Bless the Broken Road’ today!

Listen to the new song ‘Hallelujah Anyway' by Rend Collective in this official lyric video.

“I’ll find a way to praise You from the bottom of my broken heart
‘Cause I think I’d rather strike a match than curse the dark
Yeah I’ll find a way to thank You, though bitterness is real and hard
‘Cause I’d rather take a chance on hope than fall apart
I don’t think I’m ready to surrender to the dark, even if my daylight never dawns
Even if my breakthrough never comes, even if I’ll fight to bring You praise
Even if my dreams fall to the ground, even if I’m lost, I know I’m found
Even if my heart will somehow say hallelujah anyway”

What an uplifting song with such a wonderful message! The song ‘Hallelujah Anyway’ was written by Chris Llewellyn, Gareth Gilkerson, and Matt Maher, and it focuses on the verses from Psalm 34:1-3. “I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.”

Many people online shared their thoughts about this new song from Rend Collective.

“Such an awesome song! Whatever we are going through, Hallelujah Anyway! Powerful!” comments one person on YouTube after listening to the lyric video.
