One of nine songs in a song cycle written by Heidi Jensen North for a living Nativity performed in theaters in New England for the last 16 years.

Salvation is a gift of God. As believers in Jesus Christ we have an eternal future waiting for us in heaven. While we are here and still in our earthly bodies we will still struggle with sin and the flesh. We are not helpless though anymore, we have the Holy Spirit and the ability to choose to do what is right now because of our union with Christ. The battle in our minds will continue until we go home and as Paul has said “Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” , we too can trust the Lord for the strength that we need in times of temptation and trial to help us overcome the world the flesh and the devil. The Lord also says “ Call upon Me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you and you will glorify me”

"I Praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made" - Psalm 139:14a "Masterpiece" the single, was officially released on October 12, 2025 though Julie Kinscheck has been performing it live since it was first composed in 2017! Here is the official lyric video done artfully by LyricVids.com Much of the artwork found on this video was created by Hannah Kinscheck, who also co-created the cover art for the single with Julie Kinscheck. Live performances clipped within this video include a performance at the Calvary Chapel Christian Arts Festival and another from the Summer Singer Songwriter Soirée at Berklee College of Music. There is also a short snippet from the basics session for an earlier version of this song recorded at Kinscheck Productions studio in Billerica, MA. Masterpiece is a folky- jazzy- poppy tune, reminiscent of some of her earlier songs like "You Are" or maybe Laufey. The lyrics carry the spiritual message that you- each of you- were made uniquely and wonderfully (Psalm 139) by God. This is especially an important message for young women to hear; why there are so many portraits of young women in the video. When God created the sun, moon, stars, animals- even Adam He said it was good; but when he created Eve He said "It was VERY good"- Ladies, You are His Masterpiece! Enjoy the gorgeous piano by Chris Rosser and lovely violins by Lyndsay Pruett and Ginny Luke!- And of course a taste of SCAT singing from the Queen of SCAT! This finished version of "Masterpiece" was produced in Black Mountain, NC with producer Neal Merrick Blackwood. "Masterpiece" is a jazzy story of how special you are to our ABBA God! Thank you for saving & sharing!

I am singing and playing the classic Christmas song Away in the Manger. I hope you like it

Check out this soul-stirring song called ‘Dear Jesus’ from We The Kingdom. This is the title track of We The Kingdom’s new album, which will be released on January 30, 2026. The song was written with the sinner’s prayer in mind, and we hope it encourages you today.

‘Dear Jesus, it's been a long, long time
Been runnin' 'round, rackin' my brain
On why I've wasted life lookin' for freedom
I tried every high, I thought I saw the light but I been seein' blind’

The song ‘Dear Jesus’ was inspired by a conversation with a man whose life was transformed by grace. We The Kingdom imagined that man’s story as a letter written to God from a place of brokenness and hope, and the song serves as a voice for those who have experienced pain and struggle to find words for prayer. The song truly embodies the album’s heart, which is honest, unfiltered, and anchored in redemption.

When it comes to the songs on We The Kingdom’s new album, they are all ones that are deeply personal, rooted in faith, and unafraid to wrestle with both light and darkness. It builds on the honest storytelling and musicianship that have defined We The Kingdom since their debut in 2018.

“After spending two years recording, it’s beautiful when you can tell the story of reality,” the band shares. “This record is a culmination of the beauty that came from freedom: no themes or motives, but truly authentic.”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Dear Jesus’ from We The Kingdom, and may the song serve as an encouragement for you today. Many of us have walked through pain and felt like we didn’t have the words to pray. This is a song that reminds listeners to remember the healing, resurrecting, and saving power of Jesus at work in their hearts.

Jeremy Rosado sings a powerful ‘Keep Holding On’ the way a weary soul prays—slow at first, honest and trembling, and then somehow rising into something strong enough to carry you through. His voice feels like a hand reaching for yours in the dark, whispering, “I know. But don’t give up yet.”

And friend… that’s exactly the message we need in the long nights, the heavy mornings, the unseen battles we carry in quiet.

This song, now streaming as a lyric video on GodTube, is for the worn-out heart, the one that keeps showing up even when the strength feels thin. Jeremy once said it’s for “This song is about encouragement and is a reminder to that person that the same God who showed up before will do it again. Miracles are what this song is declaring over every person who hears it.”

There’s something encouraging about that kind of honesty. Something tender. Something deeply human.

Because sometimes faith looks less like hallelujah hands in the air and more like fingers clinging to the hem of hope with everything you’ve got. That’s where this song meets you, in the middle of your waiting room, your valley, your unanswered prayers.

And woven through the lyrics are threads of Scripture—quiet echoes of every moment God told His people:
“Hold fast.”
 “Do not fear.”
 “I will never leave you.”
 “I am working, even now.”

You can almost hear the promises beating beneath each note. From Isaiah’s reminder that God gives “strength to the weary,” to the psalmist’s cry that “the Lord upholds those who fall,” to Paul’s assurance that “He who promised is faithful”, the song feels like it was stitched straight out of Scripture’s most comforting pages.
Jeremy doesn’t sing from a place of pretending. 

He sings from the lived-in place where brokenness meets belief. The place where the night feels long, but grace keeps finding you anyway. The place where you learn that holding on isn’t weakness—it’s worship.

And this is what I love most: The song doesn’t try to rush your pain. It doesn’t command you to “get it together.” Instead, it sits with you. It breathes beside you. It reminds you that God’s promises do not come late; they come right on time. Yes, even when the waiting feels unbearable. Yes, even when nothing looks like it’s changing.

Hold on, the song says, because God is still holding you. Because the story isn’t done. Because the miracle you can’t see yet is already in motion.

If you need that kind of encouragement today, a soft place to land, a whisper of hope, a reminder that you’re not forgotten—go listen to this beautiful song. Let it wash over you. Let it remind you that holding on is not the absence of fear, it’s the presence of God.
And friend…
He’s here.
He’s working.
He’s not finished with your story.
Keep holding on.

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Christmas song

Christmas music

Rising Christian singer and worship leader Toni LaShaun sits down in Nashville to share her inspiring journey, from high school teacher and longtime songwriter to stepping out front with her debut EP and now a brand-new Christmas project. Toni opens up about grief, calling, writing music that brings hope, and the heart behind her new “Toni LaShawn Christmas” EP. She also talks about her students discovering her music, the story behind her breakout song “Don’t You Worry,” and what’s coming next with her full Christmas album in 2026.

Prepare for a wonderful and encouraging moment of genuine worship and invitation. Check out this lyric video for CeCe Winans' beautiful rendition of ‘The First Noel.

The music will immediately invite you into this video. The piano is stunning. Suddenly, you will hear the beautiful and soothing voice of CeCe Winans. 

The lyrics are accompanied by the white and gold candles on the altar, with the offering plate, in a church building. It reminds us as we reflect on the birth of the Savior and His offering of His own life for ours.

This classic Christmas hymn will have you excited and celebrating the birth of Jesus. You will not be able to contain yourself from singing along. What you will notice as you listen is that a powerhouse vocalist like CeCe Winans could sing loudly and wow in an obvious way; however, her vocal humility, even at the bridge, has such control and posture of praise upwards that you will not help but be in awe. 

Her clear goal of this song is to create an inviting sound for all to join in so that we, too, can humbly come before God with confession, gratitude, and great joy. 

This song is peaceful, and every word leads us to remember the Christmas story from many years ago when Jesus, the Savior of the world, came to us in a manger. He did this to live the perfect life, die, and raise Himself back to life on behalf of sinners who accept Him. Be stirred and motivated this Christmas season by this awe-inspiring song.

The chorus sings out:

Noel Noel Noel Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!

Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords. We celebrate His Majesty today and always.

“The king answered and said to Daniel, “Truly, your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.” Daniel 2:47

First Baptist Clarksville's praise team's chillingly beautiful rendition of “Sweetest Name I Know” will have you feeling serene and joyful. It’s uncommon to hear a modern praise band singing a song like this one, which doesn’t sound like most modern songs, but that makes it all the sweeter. Play the video to hear it. 

The church always does an excellent job when they take on a new song, and “Sweetest Name I Know” is no exception. The music and harmonies all come together to create a great, smooth sound. 

First, Clarksville’s worship leader chose a song with truly incredible lyrics. The song was written in 2024 by Charity Gayle, Will Yates, Crystal Yates, and David Gentiles. Some of the words in the song go:

Got filled with the Spirit, now I'm satisfied
Now I get to tell you there's power to save
'Cause that Living Water, He has a name, oh
Jesus, Savior, sweetest name I know
The song takes inspiration from scripture and the old 1924 hymn, “Jesus is the Sweetest Name I know.” It speaks of the power of Jesus' name and the relationship that believers have with him. 

Charity said of writing “Sweetest Name I Know” and other songs on her Rejoice album, “We started to notice the joy we would have in the midst of our storms when we wrote songs… because they were truths of God’s word to remind ourselves that our God is bigger than our circumstances and still worthy of praise in spite of them!”

As you reflect on “Sweetest Name I Know’s” meaning, be reminded of Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life. He is bigger than anything we are going through, and His name really is the sweetest name we know!

“Oh that you had listened to my commandments! then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea:” Isaiah 48:18

A Passion musical, particularly suitable for Easter. Texted in English, but sung in Norwegian. Someone gave their life to Christ every single time it was performed.

Thank the Lord not only on Thanksgiving day but thank Jesus Christ for all He has done for us.

Kentucky-based husband and wife duo Crown of Life join Brandon Woolum in Nashville to share their journey from firefighting and teaching to full-time music ministry. They talk about stepping out in faith, recording their new studio album New Beginnings, the mission trip that inspired it, and their heart for ministering in churches, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and through their “Sing Me Home” ministry.

Listen to this beautiful and chilling rendition of the Christmas carol ‘O Come O Come Emmanuel.’ The singer in the video is Stephen Mcwhirter, and this is one artist who is wholeheartedly committed to worshipping Jesus and leading others to him. Let his version of this song encourage you today.

‘O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear’

What an excellent rendition of this beloved Christmas classic. And Stephen Mcwhirter shares some encouraging words about the song in the caption of his video.

“This isn’t just another Christmas carol — it’s a cry from deep within the heart of God’s people.
‘O Come O Come Emmanuel’ carries the ache and anticipation of generations waiting for Jesus — the Messiah, the Deliverer, the God who comes near,” Stephen writes. 

He then goes on to talk about how he included Hebrew in this rendition of ‘O Come O Come Emmanuel.’

“In this version, I’ve woven in part of the ancient Hebrew Shema — ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is One.’ Because from the beginning, God’s people have declared His oneness, His faithfulness, and His promise to dwell among us. This song is a reminder that Emmanuel has come — and He’s still coming for our hearts today. Whether you’re in a season of joy or waiting, may this worship moment remind you: He is God with us. He is still worthy of our hope, our worship, and our surrender.”

Along with his music, Stephen's testimony of Jesus taking Him from addiction to redemption is a central part of his ministry. He used to be a meth addict, but his life turned around once he put his faith in Jesus, and he hasn’t looked back since!

We hope you enjoyed this wonderful version of ‘O Come O Come Emmanuel’ from Stephen Mcwhirter today!
