Take 4 minutes and simply breathe in this stunning video entitled “For God So Loved the World,” by Taryn Harbridge. It will be time well spent!
Taryn Harbridge is a Christian musician and video creator, having taught herself to arrange, perform, film, and edit, along with all the other steps involved in bringing her affirming videos to viewers. Her primary instrument is the violin, but her primary purpose is to glorify God through her work and ministry. If you haven’t heard of Taryn, learn a little bit more about this God-driven artist on her website.
For now, just watch as Taryn explains the truth of the gospel with carefully selected scripture.
The video is set in a serene forest. Snow gently falls, but there is already a light, white covering on the earth and trees. Everything is still. Verses from the book of Luke appear, telling the story of shepherds frightened by an angel. They learn that the angel brings news of great joy; a Savior has been born. Taryn, dressed in white warmth, appears in the frame looking upward as that message rests for a few moments.
We are shown a gently-flowing river within the forest, and passages from Isaiah point to the prophecy of the birth of Jesus and that He will be called “Prince of Peace.” Taryn spins around in delight. This is the physical reflection of the inexplicable happiness that He brought to His people.
At 2:00 minutes, there is a shift. The song changes, and an instrumental version of “Jesus Loves Me” begins. Scriptures from John remind us that God sent His Son to die so that we might be saved. Taryn stands on a high rock in the river bed and reaches upward, as if asking to receive His light and love. And, the final verse affirms that this is exactly what we must do to become children of God.
Taryn has created a stunning video, with splendid images and lovely music, that tells the truth of God’s word in four short minutes. However, unlike those with quick glimpses and flashing images, her video forces us to pause and reflect on each frame.
Slowing down and being, listening, absorbing, and soaking in is hard! However, whether the season is winter or warm, taking time to do so while in worship or in prayer is important to do!
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—” John 1:12
A song of gratitude that mark the many blessings that come by way of God's true love. We have much to be thankful for and should always have a ready praise to the Father for His great love toward his children. Let this song encourage you to give him thanks!
Children are precious and are to be treasured. Psalm 127:3 reads, “See, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” One song makes it abundantly clear just how much of a gift children are and how quickly they grow up.
“Let Them Be Little,” sung by husband-and-wife Christian musicians Caleb and Kelsey Grimm, is a cover originally performed by Billy Dean and later by Lonestar.
The video begins with the two singers sitting on stools in a location that all parents are well familiar with: a nursery.
The first verse mentions how quickly children grow up. As the song’s lyrics state, a child changes and grows up with every passing second. Blink and you may not recognize your child, the song indicates.
The chorus really helps to drive the song’s message home. Children can be tiring, in constant need of attention and wear parents out to the point of exhaustion but mom and dad shouldn’t react with anger. Instead, the chorus adds that parents should cherish these times. Those moments are limited and fleeting.
“So let them be little, cause they’re only that way for a while
Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let ‘em cry, let ‘em giggle, let them sleep in the middle”
The song’s second verse points out that, despite their young age and limited experiences, children can teach their parents a thing or two about life and love.
“Let Them Be Little” is a simple and beautiful song with a touching message. It’s sure to make parents with grown children think back and long for those times when their children were little and shed a tear or two or three!
Matthew 18:10 “Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.”
More than 40 years after his death, Elvis Presley remains one of the biggest names and most recognizable figures in all of entertainment. Sadly, it was recently announced that his only child, daughter Lisa Marie, had also sadly passed away.
On “Where No One Stands Alone” Lisa Marie steps up to the mic and joins her famous dad on the tune about loneliness, as the video to the song shows.
In the first verse, Elvis sings about his fear of being alone. He even sings out to the Lord, asking him to not “hide your face from me.”
Images and footage of Elvis and Lisa Marie as a child rolls throughout the video. We are treated to footage of a happy and loving family playing outside, riding in a car and even visiting Santa Claus together.
Then, Lisa Marie joins in with her father and helps sing the chorus. The chorus is a plea for someone to grab their hand and not leave them alone.
“Hold my hand all the way, every hour, every day
Come here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand”
During the father-daughter duet on the chorus, both are featured on the screen together. On half of the screen, Elvis, from one of his many performances, is seen singing. The other portion of the screen is devoted to his daughter Lisa Marie. Lisa Marie stands next to a microphone, wearing headphones.
Lisa Marie, who was Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s only child, died in Los Angeles, California. According to The New York Times, she died after a “medical emergency and a brief hospitalization.” At this time, it remains unclear what led to the death of Elvis and Priscilla’s only child.

My 2nd Verse to "Throw Back Access Denied - Part Deux" (A response to Loki's Invasion in the Movie Avengers) Ephesians 6:12 TPT, "Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms.

Music is a powerful medium. Through eloquently written lyrics and compelling melodies, songs can deliver impactful messages. One group that uses music to impart lessons about Christ is Anthem Lights.
This time, though, the group of talented vocalists comes together for a mash-up of some of the biggest radio hits of last year. To kick off their medley, the guys cover a song from likely the biggest name in music and probably, in all of entertainment: Taylor Swift.
The video begins with the 4 guys near a bridge in what appears to be New York City as they sing Swift’s hit “Anti-Hero.”
“At teatime, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero”
After finishing up with Swift’s tune, Anthem Lights moves on to what was a massive hit last year from former One Direction member Harry Styles: “As It Was.”
Next up in the medley is “Heat Waves” from Glass Animals. Also included in the group's beautifully-performed medley is a song from Rihanna.
Additionally, the guys also show off their impressive range on a song that was originally released in the 1980s but thanks to Netflix’s “Stranger Things," was popular once again: Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.”
The YouTube video has been viewed 31,000 times, liked more than 1,700 times and has more than 80 comments. Most comments are overwhelmingly positive from users saying how much they love and appreciate the group’s work.
One person wrote, “Thank you guys for This! You included all the songs that were important to me this year. What an amazing performance.”
Another user posted: “That was amazing!! Can’t Wait to hear more songs”
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
In life, there are bound to be difficult and tough times. It is hard, will be nearly impossible, to get through life without experiencing circumstances that will test our patience, determination and faith. One song says that even during these times, we have a firm foundation: Jesus Christ.
The uplifting and beautiful song “Firm Foundation” is from Women Who Worship.
Right from the start, the singer in the video makes it clear who is life’s firm foundation, Jesus Christ. He is the rock upon which we stand, according to the song.
The first verse goes on to describe Christ’s faithfulness even in troubled times.
“I’ve never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus
‘Cause He’s never let me down”
The song states that thanks to Jesus, when inevitable chaos does arrive we can have an unbelievable joy and even peace. The lyrics add that He cannot and will not fail us when we call upon Him.
The song's lyrics, toward the latter part, mentions one of the parables Jesus told in Matthew chapter 7, beginning at verse 24. In it, Jesus tells his followers that anyone who hears the Word of God, follows it and puts it into action is like a wise man. That man has built his house upon a firm foundation, according to Jesus.
On the other hand, Jesus says that the one who hears the Word but does nothing with it is like a foolish man. Jesus states that man has built his house upon sand. His house, because of its foundation, will be shaken and fall, unable to withstand life’s troubles and storms.
Give this song about the promises and faithfulness of Christ a listen!
Isaiah 28:16 “Therefore thus said the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste.”
Jesus Christ was sent into the world in order to save and give hope to dying and lost people. John 3:17 reads, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” It was at the cross, on calvary, that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice. One song speaks to the power and message of that sacrifice.
The video to the song “At the Cross” by Tasha Cobbs Leonard begins with the singer walking out onto the dark stage and stepping to the microphone. The singer’s appearance on stage is met with several people applauding.
The song’s lovely music soon gets underway and a video showing an empty cross is shown on the screen behind Tasha. It stays on and plays throughout the entirety of the video.
The song’s first verse makes it entirely clear what Christ did at the cross and how it impacts the lives of everyone who has lived, is living and will live on earth.
Next, the second verse states how Christ, who was perfect, took our shame upon himself. His act of love on the cross gave us a chance. It’s because of his move, as the song points out, that we can be born again, forgiven of our sins.
The song’s chorus, expertly sung by Tasha, reiterates the significance of Christ’s death.
“At the cross, at the cross
Where His grace
It covers me”
Tasha ends the video, after finishing her song, by saying, “he did it for all of us.”
Be sure and give a listen to Tasha’s beautiful song about Jesus Christ’s act of love and mercy on the cross all those years ago.
1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us which are saved it is the power of God.” wall.”
In the Bible, there are massive, central figures who through their faith and trust, did awesome things on behalf of God and his people. Abraham, Moses, Paul, David and even Mary and Joseph immediately come to mind. One new song is all about being completely open and available to the will of God.
The video for the new tune “If I Could Have Anything” by Housefires begins with the musicians in a living room-type setting. The musicians can be seen sitting on the furniture with even one or two of them on the floor.
Dozens of people can also be seen standing around the musicians in the video. On the heartfelt and impactful chorus the crowd joins in and lends their vocal talents.
In the first and second verses, the song makes mention of two giant characters in the Bible: Mary and David. When it comes to Mary, the song’s lyrics ask that, like her, may they remain “open to the movements of your heart.”
When it comes to David, the song’s lyrics ask that, like the Bible figure who slayed the giant Goliath, may they be “unconvinced by power or idols” and keep “worshiping in triumph and in trial.”
The lyrics in the song also point to the fact that while they may not have much to bring or give to God, they hope to remain an offering and be of use.
This song is an excellent reminder that sometimes it isn’t about what we have done or what we can do. Simply being willing to move and act when God calls is just as important.
Give this new and catchy song with an uplifting message a listen!
Proverbs 11:24 “A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need.”
Being in constant agreement with one another, on every topic and subject matter would make for a very boring existence. Having the same preference for food, television shows, movies and music as the next guy wouldn't be any fun.
God’s word even mentions how he made us all individuals and how he has different thoughts and plans for us. Jeremiah 29:11, reads, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.”
Folk music is one of those things that people either seem to love…. or not enjoy so much. For those who do have an affinity for folk music, enjoy this beautiful song, “The Mountains of Mourne,” from Celtic Thunder.
The clip is from a live concert in front of an audience in Ireland. The simple, yet elegant performance of the song features the singer sitting on the steps of the stage as he strums along on his stringed instrument. Several other musicians join in, playing violins. Around the 2:10-minute mark in the clip, we see that an entire orchestra is playing along to the melody.
At approximately the 1-minute mark of the song, a flute player even joins in for a momentary solo. He does so again 2 minutes into the clip.
Much like the song’s melody, its lyrics are straightforward yet clever and unique.
“The people here are working by day and by night
They don’t sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
But there’s gangs of them digging’ for gold in the street”
Be sure and give this beautiful song a listen!
Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I say to you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than meat and the body more than raiment?”
