New ccm original worship song based on the Lord’s Prayer and highlights the attributes of God through the use of the Hebrew names for God a musical prayer
Sometimes we wonder how we can make a difference in a world filled with darkness. As children of God, we are called to be His hands and feet in a broken world. By sharing His love to all we can make a difference. That’s what we can do!
Take five minutes and savor this glorious classic performance of “I Bowed on My Knees” from Voices of Gaither. It will make your day better!
The video, recorded live from Tarrant County Convention Center in Fort Worth, TX, in 1996, features five primary voices from Voices of Gaither, along with dozens of gifted artists on stage. Countless others sing from their seats in the audience.
From the gentle and genuine eyes of the first vocalist to the passionate praise of the final two minutes. From the smiles on their faces to the tears running down the faces of some, this is a body of believers on fire for Jesus!
The father of Gaither Music, William James Gaither, now almost 87 years old, wears a blue suit and quietly directs the soloists to come forward. Bill and his wife, Gloria, have written hundreds of songs—they’d composed over 700 by 2012! Two of the most recognizable are “He Touched Me” and “Because He Lives.” Their ministry is expansive but not nearly as fabulous as the Home they sing about in this song!
“I Bowed on My Knees” tells the story of a person entering Heaven, greeted by angels, and given a tour of the mansions there. But, the new resident wants to see Jesus more than anything else. Full of joy, the song reminds us of the eternity that awaits believers.
Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
"Holy, Holy, Holy."
I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
Glory to the Son of God."
At 2:55, Jonathan Pierce sings the line about meeting Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Mark, and Timothy. Can you imagine! Mr. Pierce has surely met Jesus and every single one of the Bible heroes; he died at the age of 49 following heart surgery. Like so many others on the stage in Fort Worth in 1996, he left an inspiring musical legacy!
“‘Don’t cling to me,’ Jesus said, ‘for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” John 20:17
Two award-winning musicians took the stage and surprised the audience at a popular theme park in Tennessee with a beautiful duet about the power and promises of Christ.
Dolly Parton is a beloved Hollywood icon who can do it all. She has starred in several hit films and produced dozens of memorable songs throughout her illustrious career. Now in her 70s, Dolly has shown no signs of slowing down.
As the video posted to YouTube shows, Dolly joined forces and teamed up with fellow musician Natalie Grant. It’s clear Dolly’s appearance was completely unexpected but very welcomed. The crowd goes wild when the “Jolene” singer takes the stage at Dollywood.
After a few warm pleasantries between the two singers, Dolly and Natalie treat the audience to a rendition of “Just a Little Talk with Jesus.” Natalie, after some light prodding from Dolly, kicks off the song, taking the first verse.
The song’s opening lyrics mention that, while lost in sin, Jesus Christ displayed His abundant love, mercy and grace. Christ after cleansing her heart, “wrote my name above” and it was “just a little talk with Jesus” that made all the difference, Natalie sings.
Dolly then joins Natalie for the catchy and truth-filled chorus about relying upon the power, love and faithfulness of Jesus Christ.
“Let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
And He will answer by and by”
What powerful words, which are an excellent reminder that Christ cares about whatever obstacle that stands in our way. He wants us to bring those worries and requests to Him and lay them at His feet. He, as the song’s chorus mentions, will answer those prayer requests in time.
Dolly takes the song’s next verse, which points out that despite our fears and tears, Christ is a trusted friend and savior that will never leave or forsake us. He is an ally who keeps a constant watch, day and night. Christ, the verse adds, knows our every care.
Natalie and Dolly have a wonderful time entertaining the crowd at the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee park!
What an excellent performance by two terrific singers! Also, what a special treat for those park goers who just happened to be in the park that day.
2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
It’s something they love to do, praising God morning, noon, and night. You’ll love ‘The Blood Covered It All’ church performance from the Detty Sisters. The girls have loved Jesus from the time they could walk. The oldest, Peyton, is 11. Caidence (Cadie) is 9, followed by Lily, who is 5. And the baby of the family is 3-year-old Sophia, who goes by her nickname Curly.
If you ask them if they want to praise Jesus forever, the answer is a resounding yes. Both Peyton and Cadie, accepted Jesus at the age of 7. How did they fall in love with Jesus? The girls grew up around praise in worship, thanks to their mother Amber Detty.
She would say what they do at home is no different than at church or anywhere else. She had worship music playing at home and especially in the car. One of the first songs Peyton and Cadie learned to sing by heart was ‘Can’t Cross the Bloodline’ when they were 4 and 2 years of age. Amber had the song on repeat in the car.
Those seemingly mundane moments of riding in the car and listening soaked into the ears of her little girls. They had learned every word by heart.
Soon, their enthusiasm for Christ caught the attention of others. They began performing at church. In 2018, Amber felt the call to do something unique with her family. Amber sensed God saying, “ What we are doing at our church and in our home, I want you to share it with the world. That is exactly what we began to do.”
The Detty Sisters group was born. It took Amber out of her comfort zone, but she wanted to honor God in what their calling. From their humble beginnings of singing in the car to singing in church, the family is now booked months in advance for their special way of praising God. They recently released their first album, ‘In The Meantime,’ and they are working on their second album.
You will love watching one of their first performances, ‘The Blood Covered It All.’ It will capture your heart in their genuine love for Jesus with their sweet voices.
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin,” 1 John 1:7.
In life, everyone will endure hardships and trials, which at the time, seem like they will never end, but one song reminds us that those difficult periods are only temporary.
Bill Gaither, a massive figure in Christian music for decades, sang recently about these times. In a video posted to YouTube, Bill is joined by friends as he sings “These Things Shall Pass.”
The video shows Bill sitting at a piano as he sings the beautiful lyrics to the uplifting and encouraging song. The song reminds us that despite our current troubling circumstances, “The Lord our God is still the King upon his throne.”
The song also mentions that these trials, while only temporary, will help to make us stronger in the long run. The lyrics state that “steel is strong because it knew the hammer and white heat.”
Also, the song adds that if we hold onto our faith and love and they remain strong, these troubling situations “cannot long endure.”
Praise God!
Unfortunately, no one will escape this life unscathed. Heartache and trouble will visit us on occasion. But instead of giving up and throwing in the towel, there is hope just beyond the horizon because God is still in control. He knows what troubles us and will never leave or forsake us, as the Bible mentions.
Others commenting on the YouTube video mentioned how they appreciated the song’s wonderful, encouraging and hopeful message.
“What a beautiful song! It touched my soul, tears came from my eyes! Thank you, Jesus! These things shall pass!” one person posted.
Thank you for this song guys. My life hasn’t turned out the way I expected but Good is good. He brought me through it all and He still is,” another person added.
2 Corinthians 1:3 “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.”
God’s love and protection keep us safe during dangerous and trying circumstances in life. A catchy and new song reminds us about the power of His love.
Anthem Lights, a Christian band best known for their harmonies, covers and mashups, recently released a new, original song. In “Surrounded,” the four talented singers sing about being protected and surrounded by the love of God.
Early in the song, the lyrics mention that even when we may feel alone, dealing with and facing every difficulty by ourselves, God is by our side. The Bible states in several places that God will never leave or forsake us during our time of need.
The next verse adds that God’s love is so massive, powerful and unconditional. God's love is also something that we could have never ever earned. There is no person alive deserving of such a gift!
None of us are promised tomorrow. Every day we’re alive, able to enjoy His creation, is a day to celebrate. Every breath God gives us is also a gift from Him and not something to take for granted, the song states.
After mentioning that God’s love surrounds us, the song’s lyrics add that His love is enough! Instead, the singers tell listeners that they are “never letting go” and inform God that He is in control of their life.
Without God’s unconditional love, humanity would not stand a chance. He made that ultimate sacrifice of love, dying upon the cross, taking our place all those years ago.
What a fun and catchy little song that reminds us about the unearned and unconditional love of God!
Psalm 139:5-6 “I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me. Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.”
So God is doing something in my life. I haven’t thought about these songs He gave me so long ago in quite a while. I think He wants me to share and I’m trying to figure out what that means. I hope you enjoy this humble sharing.
This video is of a song I wrote a long time ago. I feel like God is asking me to share the music He has given me and I am trying to figure out a way forward. Thank you for listening.
As I walk my dogs in the morning, I hear the birds singing and God’s wonderful creation is all around me. His glorious sun lights my way throughout the day and His twinkling stars look down at me at night. This song, Creator, got its inspiration from those morning walks with God.
This song was written at a very special time when I found “New Life” in Christ. I pray that it is a blessing to all who hear it. Thank you for listening.
So...I got one of those stands to hold the phone while you video your rehearsal. We tried it out today for Aunt Miriam and Shanan and my weekly time together. Aunt Miriam is so funny and a joy to work with. At 92 years young, she is amazing! Hope you enjoy!
