Listen to this new song from Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake titled ‘People Of Heaven’ and be encouraged today.
“Come on, get your hands up, hands up, people of heaven, singing hallelujah to Ya
For all we’ve been given, saved, and set apart, ashes into art, children of the King
Every promise kept, only hope ahead, lift your heart and sing, we’re gonna live, live forever
We’re gonna live, live forever, come on, get your eyes up, eyes up, people of heaven”
This great song was written by Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake, and the duo plans to perform the song on “Summer Worship Nights,” which is a co-headline tour scheduled for this month. ‘People Of Heaven’ will also be featured on Phil Wickham’s new album titled Believe, which is coming out this August as well.
Phil Wickham recently shared how ‘People Of Heaven’ came about. “A few weeks ago, Brandon and I had a crazy idea to write and record a song specifically to end the nights and go out with a band on our upcoming tour. We laughed about it at first, but then a song started forming, and before we knew it we had recorded ‘People Of Heaven.’ It truly feels like God is all over the story of this one,” he said. “I am so, so pumped about this song, and I can’t wait to sing it with Brandon every night on the Summer Worship Nights Tour. It’s gonna go off!”
Brandon Lake also shared how quickly this new song was created. “Phil Wickham, Brandon Breitenbach, and I wanted to write a song for this season, a song that would remind us of the hope and future we have,” Brandon said. “And we ended up writing and recording this joy bomb in a matter of hours and releasing it days later.”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘People Of Heaven’ from Phil Wickham and Brandon Lake today, and it was able to bring you some joy and encouragement!
A trio of skilled musicians gave a moving performance, playing one of the most beloved hymns of all time, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”
People are created to interact and communicate with other individuals. In life, people will form and develop several relationships. Some of these connections will deepen, while others will fall by the wayside due to either time, distance or death.
However, it’s likely that at some point, people will let you down, hurt you or fail you in some way, whether it’s intentional or not. But there is One who remains faithful and who will never fail us.
In a clip posted on YouTube, the three musicians who call themselves Third Fret Harmony perform the hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” The group, which is composed of one young man and two girls, sits and strums on guitars and tickles the ivories on a keyboard while singing those memorable lyrics.
“What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
O what a peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer”
Life is an often-tough journey filled with many unwanted and unforeseen issues. But as the hymn mentions, how much worse are those grueling circumstances because of our actions? Why shoulder all that burden, worry and anxiety when laying the matter at God’s feet is so much easier?
Jesus is someone that we can count on no matter the situation or circumstances. God’s word mentions that he will never leave or forsake us, especially during our time of need. He is unlike any friend that we could ever hope to make.
What a beautiful reminder of the faithfulness and righteousness of the Lord!
Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Two musically gifted vocalists beautifully perform an expertly arranged mashup of some of the most recognizable and beloved praise and worship songs.
Because of God’s grace, love and mercy, He sent his one and only Son to die a painful, agonizing and wholly undeserved death on the cross. In taking the sins of all of mankind on Himself, He took our place. For that ultimate act of love and sacrifice, there is no way possible for anyone to adequately thank Him. The best anyone could ever hope to do is to live a life that honors and glorifies Him and to sing His praises.
In a clip posted on YouTube, the husband-wife team – Caleb + Kelsey – turned in a stunning performance, using their immense musical abilities to sing several songs that praise and honor the name of Jesus.
The two musicians kick off their performance by singing “Bless the Lord, O My Soul.” Next, they transition into a cover of “What a Beautiful Name It Is,” which morphs into “Who You Say I Am” about being a child of the King of Kings.
Other songs that made the cut in the video include “Goodness of God,” “Good Good Father” and “Way Maker.” But no medley of such songs about the goodness, righteousness and faithfulness of God would be complete without a track from arguably the biggest name in Christian music: Lauren Daigle.
Caleb and Kelsey include a few lines from Lauren’s smash hit, which has generated hundreds of covers, “You Say.”
“And You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You Say I am strong when I think I am weak”
In addition to performing and delivering these songs with such a beautiful tone and pitch, every transition is seamless. The way in which the songs are laid out makes them appear to be one long tune about God’s goodness, love and mercy.
Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.”
Check out this video of Bethel Music and The McClures live on tour singing the worship song ‘Raise A Hallelujah.’
“I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies, I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief
I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody, I raise a hallelujah, Heaven comes to fight for me
I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm, louder and louder, You’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise, death is defeated, the King is alive”
In this video, Bethel Music is performing live on tour with The McClures in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and they sound incredible together. And this amazing worship song, written by Jonathan Helser, Melissa Helser, Molly Skaggs, and Jake Stevens, has such a powerful story behind it.
‘Raise A Hallelujah’ has touched the hearts of many believers around the world, and it was inspired by the miraculous healing of Jaxon Taylor, the son of Bethel's CEO Joel Taylor. It was around Christmas in 2017 when Joel and Janie’s two-year-old son suddenly became ill and had to go to the ER.
He was diagnosed with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) due to an E. coli infection and was in a battle for his life. And this battle continued for weeks while he was experiencing kidney failure, seizures, and trouble with his respiratory system. To make matters worse, their four-year-old daughter, Addie, was also diagnosed with the same strand of E. coli.
When Jonathan David and Melissa Helser received word that Jaxon's condition was unlikely to improve, they were devastated. That’s when a melody erupted in their heart, and they sent the song they created to Joel. He listened to it repeatedly and played it for his son Jaxon. Later in January 2018, the Taylor family was finally able to head home from the hospital with both of their kids healed.
The song ‘Raise A Hallelujah’ was used by the family as a powerful weapon of worship against the enemy and their unbelief. What an incredible testimony!
Do you feel like praising the lord today? Look no further than ‘Let The People Sing, by Jesus Culture with Chris McClarney in this live uplifting performance. The video was recently released, and it is already gaining popularity for those in need of soaking their souls in worship and praise.
Maybe you’re feeling worn out and weary? Maybe life is dragging you down with bills, deadlines, or parenting. No matter the situation, God has the answer. When we praise the Lord, he fills us with hope that overflows into gratitude and peace. The beautiful part of worship is how it equips us to battle life with God’s word.
In the Good Book, we are reminded in Ephesians 6:17, “Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit — which is the word of God.” The sword of the spirit is the Bible, and our worship songs are weaved with Scripture creating an effective way to combat life’s struggles.
Jesus Culture is a highly talented gospel band created by a community of worship leaders and musicians whose mission is to see this generation impacted by the presence of God through music. On their website, they shared, “The heart of Jesus Culture has always been to not just sing songs, but to encounter God and see lives changed through those encounters.”
Their music brings us to the heart of worship while encountering Christ.
Take a few minutes to crank up the stereo and sing along with Jesus Culture as we are reminded to:
Worship the Lord in the light of His presence
Worship the Lord with the angels and saints
Tell all the earth that the Savior is risen
The stone has been rolled away
Tell all the earth the Lord your God cares about you. Tell all the earth the King of kings sits on the throne. Let this incredible worship song lift your spirit. May it be a warrior’s call to praise the Lord in your struggles and triumphs.
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord,” Psalms 150:6.
The harmonizing husband and wife duo Caleb and Kesley sing ‘Gratitude’ worship cover. Not only is their performance truly beautiful, but we also love the powerful reminder to center our hearts in gratitude toward the Lord for all he has done.
We’re human. We tend to focus on what is happening in the present. It’s not always pleasant. We’re walking through bills, debt, relationship issues, and health issues. Some of us are worried about our children and grandchildren too. Maybe you identify with every scenario listed above.
If that’s the case, it’s hard to feel thankful for anything. But that’s the beauty of God. He wants us to turn away from the struggles and keep our focus squarely on him. When we focus on blessings rather than woes, God increases our joy. It opens up a world of blessings we might not have otherwise realized existed. In Thessalonians 5:18, we are taught, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
There are times in our lives when we are at the mercy of our circumstances, and we think, how can we have gratitude? But our heavenly father sees and is still watching over us even when we might feel His focus is elsewhere! It’s in those times when we are reminded to be like King David, Elijah, Job, and Paul to thank God for the breath in our lungs, for his presence, his promises, and his coming Kingdom.
What I love about this uplifting video is how Kesley and Caleb sing together as husband and wife. Their dedication to the Lord is refreshing. They remind us no matter the struggle in life or in our marriage, being thankful to God helps us overcome the battle.
Let this song wash you in the presence of Christ and leave you with peace only Jesus can provide. The battle of gratitude belongs to the Lord and we are not forgotten. What a privilege to be a part of the testimony of His name!
