Sometimes, we need to sing an old song with a new twist. Check out a fresh take on the classic song, 'I'll Give Thanks' by Housefires.
Every once in a while, we need a reminder to be thankful individuals and a thankful body of Christ. This song is a beautiful reminder of God’s unchanging quality, faithful love, and our abundance of blessing in Him.
As we see this stunning young woman sit and stand in the worship of the Lord, she leads the room in a powerful time of praise and celebration. It is an encouraging take on a timeless worship song. Whether we feel that we have a lot to be thankful for or we feel we do not have enough, we can join in singing with thankfulness to Jesus.
The bridge tells us not to worry because God knows what we need. This repetitive lyric speaks to our hearts. He provides for us and sees us in all things. Just when you think the song is ending, the piano, alongside the vocalist, takes you into the traditional hymn, “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.”
We are compelled to join in the song and worship our living God through this precious and familiar melody. This is an amazing rendition of two wonderful songs that really bless our hearts to sing and join in. Wherever we are today, when we have Jesus, there is always a reason to be thankful. We can use gratitude by His Spirit to help us connect with Christ. Instead of living life defeated, we can give thanks for the victory we have in Him.
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” John 15:5
Chandler Moore and KJ Scriven join Housefires on the song “Good Good Father,” and it’s hard to imagine a more genuine, heartfelt, and beautiful tribute to Heavenly Father than the one they offer.
Written by Housefires band members Tony Brown and Pat Barrett, “Good Good Father” became an instant hit when it was recorded by Chris Tomlin. The song was the first single, released on October 2, 2015, from his 2016 album, Never Lose Sight. Housefires had previously recorded the song on their 2014 album entitled Housefires II.
Chandler Moore begins the song, singing and playing the piano. The 28-year-old Charleston, South Carolina native currently partners with Maverick City Music. He is joined by pastor and Grammy Award-winning songwriter KJ Scriven at 2:30.
The two featured artists are joined by a host of other singers, each uniquely exhibiting their love for Jesus. While some are animated and physical, others move gently and quietly to the music. Some smile brightly, and others are somber. Hands raised, eyes closed, heads bowed, eyes open—there are a hundred different expressions of worship. Isn’t that just how it should be? Each of us is equipped to communicate our admiration and affection for the Savior and Almighty God in the precise and perfect way He intended us to do so.
“Good Good Father” held the number one spot on the Hot Christian Songs chart for seven weeks.
Oh, I've heard a thousand stories of what they think You're like
But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
And You tell me that You're pleased
And that I'm never alone
“Good Good Father” assures believers of the most important things we need to know. He is always with us. He always loves us. He always knows exactly what we need. Seriously, a Father’s love doesn’t get any better than that!
“For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness.” Hebrews 12:10
