Your Way, YahWah - Zach Garrett

Join us as we explore the incredible journey of Bay Turner, a gifted artist whose path to the national stage is a testament to God's transformative power. After an accident left his vocal cords paralyzed, Bay experienced a miraculous healing that brought him back to the spotlight. He returned to sing "Biblical" on America's Got Talent, showcasing his restored voice. In this edition of Song Discovery, Bay performs "Beautiful Gospel," a song that encapsulates the power of the gospel to reach and redeem. The song, written by Bay Turner, Tony Wood, and John Allan, features the talented Tommy Gerlach on guitar. Bay shares a poignant inspiration behind "Beautiful Gospel," recounting a powerful encounter with his grandmother, Joy, days before her passing. Guided by the Holy Spirit, Bay led her through the salvation prayer, and she went to be with Jesus shortly after. This profound experience filled Bay with peace and deepened his understanding of the gospel's beauty and reach.

Chris Llewellyn's solo debut album, "Honest," is an intimate exploration of faith and life's raw emotions, inspired by his personal struggles and a transformative family diagnosis. This twelve-song Celtic-rooted album serves as a candid soundtrack to wrestling with faith, showcasing Llewellyn's authentic and heartfelt songwriting. Drawing from a rich heritage of Irish storytelling and a fusion of alternative pop and Americana, Llewellyn captivates listeners with his profound sincerity and dynamic live performances. "Honest" invites listeners to embrace their struggles, ask bold questions, and find comfort in the steadfastness of genuine faith, as further exemplified in the live performance of “Honest” for Song Discovery on Worship Leader Magazine and the poignant video release of “Still Believe In The Magic.”

The Faroese singer / songwriter Eydun Jacobsen wrote this song and has been sung in Scandinavia ever since. It uses the text of Psalm 18. As the Danish lyrics are easy to follow and find online, I have not added it. This version is from Kristent Felleskap, Kristiansand in Norway. I have tried to keep the intimate nature of the original. This texted version was then used successfully at a church service texted in both languages, and it proved successful enough to consider uploading it for the enjoyment of others. The translation I made over a period of 3 days. It may be short, but it takes time to find something that fits the original rythm, text and fits the melody naturally.

In this video, country artist Jackson Michelson shares his journey from playing music in church to becoming a successful country musician. He emphasizes his aversion to labeling art, appreciating artists who embrace diverse styles. Michelson's musical roots are in church, but his career took an unexpected turn when he started writing love songs for his wife. After recording these songs in a Vancouver studio, he received unexpected feedback: people loved his "country music," a genre he hadn't intentionally pursued. Local country radio stations picked up his songs, leading to a rapid rise in popularity with extensive touring and airplay, including on Sirius XM's The Highway. Despite his growing fame, Michelson remains true to his roots as a storyteller, writing about personal experiences and other people's lives. He reflects on the intersection of secular and sacred music, expressing his belief in the power of storytelling in both contexts. For Michelson, leading people through stories and worship is a unified experience, whether he's singing about life or leading worship. He embraces the idea of being in the world but not of it, and finds joy in singing to the "King of Kings," illustrating his seamless transition between country music and worship.

In a world often filled with noise and distractions, Cain's inspiring song ‘Believe On Jesus’ music video offers a refreshing and inspiring message of faith and hope. The music video for this soul-stirring song opens with a serene scene: towels are dropped on a sunlit beach, and one of the band members reverently places a Bible down before the group walks into the ocean, setting the stage for a journey of faith and reflection.

As the band members sing, rollerblade, and stroll along the beach, their harmonious voices and joyful movements remind viewers of the transformative power of believing in Jesus. The lyrics of ‘Believe On Jesus’ are a heartfelt invitation to embrace faith, especially when life's path seems uncertain or challenging.

The opening lines of the song resonate deeply:

‘Has the road that you’ve been walking on
led you where you wanna go?
Did the things you’ve been trusting in
bring you high then leave you low’

These words acknowledge the struggles and disappointments that many face, offering a gentle reminder that there is a better way—a way illuminated by faith in Jesus.

The chorus echoes this powerful message:

‘Believe on Jesus
Call upon His name
Believe on Jesus
And you will be saved’

With each verse, the song builds a compelling case for faith, encouraging listeners to open their hearts and let Jesus into their lives. The lyrics speak to the universal longing for love and purpose, promising that these can be found through belief in Jesus.

The songwriters—Logan Cain, Taylor Cain Matz, Madison Cain Johnson, Jonathan Smith, and Ethan Hulse—have crafted a poignant and uplifting anthem that is both a call to action and a source of comfort. As the song beautifully declares, believing in Jesus has the power to transform lives, offering peace, salvation, and a new beginning.

‘Believe On Jesus’ is more than just a song; it's an invitation to experience the life-changing love of Christ. Whether you're rollerblading down a beach or facing life's toughest challenges, this inspiring tune reminds us all to keep the faith and believe.

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

The popular and incredibly talented Christian music group CAIN has released an official lyric video for their soul-stirring song, “Never the Same.”

Perfection is an impossibility for human beings. Due to sin’s widespread influence and impact on our world, no one will ever be able to reach a standard even close to perfection. Everyone has flaws, imperfections and failures. All will and do make mistakes and stumble.

Despite our very obvious human flaws, God still loves us for some inexplicable reason. He can, will and still does work in the lives of lost and broken people. The Lord can forever change a heart and a life. We don’t have to live a life burdened and weighed down by sin and shame.

Some people may be under the misconception that they are too far gone, too much of a sinner to ever be forgiven for their past. However, that is a total and complete lie and wrongheaded idea. No one is ever too far from the love, mercy, grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

In their official lyric video for “Never the Same,” the members of CAIN sing about how Christ can and will come into one’s heart and life and wash away their sins, making them a new creation in Christ.

The song’s beautiful lyrics perfectly capture the change and the difference that Christ makes in the lives of sinners.

“I looked in the eyes of mercy

I ran to the arms of grace

I knew forever I was

Never the same, never the same, never the same”

Once an individual confesses with their mouth and believes that Jesus Christ is the risen Lord, they will never be the same. They will be forgiven. God is loving and faithful and extends His mercy and grace to sinners.

Praise His holy name!

Romans 10:9 “Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation.”

Check out this powerful performance at the Dove Awards from Anne Wilson and Brooke Ligertwood of the songs, ‘My Jesus’ and ‘What A Beautiful Name.’

‘Are you past the point of weary?

Is your burden weighin' heavy?

Is it all too much to carry?

Let me tell you 'bout my Jesus’

This amazing performance of these two powerful songs took place at the 53rd Annual GMA Dove Awards. Anne Wilson did a wonderful job singing her song ‘My Jesus,’ and at the end of the song, she shared about how she lost her brother in a car accident in 2017. It was the lowest she had ever felt, and in her sadness, she went to her piano and played, ‘What A Beautiful Name’ by Brooke Ligertwood. That song became a part of her journey, and she ended up singing for the first time in front of an audience to that song at her brother’s funeral. 

After Anne Wilson shared that story, Brooke Ligertwood joined her on stage as they sang ‘What A Beautiful Name’ together. And what an incredible and powerful performance from the two singers!

Anne Wilson has previously discussed writing ‘My Jesus’ and the events that make up the story behind the song.

“A few years ago, I went through a season of tragedy. My older brother, Jacob, who was my best friend and someone I looked up to in every way, lost his life in a car accident at the age of 23. That night I heard God's voice so clear and He spoke to me for the first time,” Anne shared. “He said, ‘Anne, are you going to trust me or not?’ I answered, ‘Jesus, I trust you.’ In an instant, Jesus lifted the heavy weight off and told me that He would give me everything I need to get through this. Jesus began to show me that He was a personal God.”

When people hear the song ‘My Jesus,’ Anne hopes that they are reminded that Jesus is personal and sees us in all of our heartaches and trials. He is our hope and strong foundation.

We hope you enjoyed this performance of ‘My Jesus’ and ‘What A Beautiful Name’ today!

The incredibly talented Jordan Feliz has released the official lyric video for his new and uplifting song, “Praise God for That.”

Life is not always an easy, happy-go-lucky experience. It can often be the exact opposite. Living in this lost and fallen world, we will all experience struggles and periods of extreme grief, pain and sorrow. Sadly, that's a part of life due to sin’s impact on the world.

But despite whatever troubles we may encounter or the hardships we might face, God is still good. Humans sometimes have a habit of focusing on the negative, but God continues to bless and provide, even during those not-so-pleasant times, and He deserves praise for that and so much more.

In the official lyric video posted on YouTube, Jordan performs his song “Praise God for That.” It’s an uplifting and encouraging song that reminds Christians that we have a loving, faithful and merciful God. He has done so much in our lives that He deserves all praise, honor and glory.

We’re all guilty of overlooking and taking for granted the many blessings and things that God does and provides us with continually, without us even asking. In the tune’s second verse, Jordan sings about some of the things in our lives that we might overlook at one time or another.

“Praise Him for friends and family

For the very air we breathe

For having everything we need

Won’t somebody come praise the Lord with me”

In the third and final verse, Jordan sings about praising and thanking the Lord for answering all our prayers, for the peace that only He can provide and for constantly showing immeasurable patience each time we stumble and fall.

The Bible mentions that we are to bring our requests and petitions to Him. But praising Him for all the good and wonderful blessings in our lives is also a good and right thing to do.

Hebrews 13:15 “Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.”

CHRISTIAN MUSIC

Chris Tomlin and CAIN, two giants in the Christian music world, joined forces to record a version of “Holy Forever” and released the official lyric video.

The world is a lost, dying and fallen place. Many people are hurting, struggling and crying out for help, looking for any sign of hope. Sadly, those people who are in physical, emotional and spiritual distress are all around us. They are your neighbors, co-workers, friends and even family members.

Luckily, Christians have found the answer – Jesus Christ. He is the one who can heal, repair and mend. He can bring hope into a situation everyone would look at and deem hopeless and lost. He is the answer and Savior for a dying world.

Christ willingly went to the cross, suffering a horrible, brutal and agonizing death, and later rose from the grave for you and me. He went through all that so that we could be forgiven and experience everlasting life with Him.

Praise His holy name!

In a clip posted on YouTube, Chris and the members of CAIN perform “Holy Forever,” a song praising and worshipping the one true King. He was the ultimate sacrifice, paying and fulfilling a debt no one else could.

As the second verse mentions, those who have experienced God’s love, mercy and grace and followed Him for years should still praise His name for what He has done.

“If you’ve been forgiven, and if you’ve been redeemed

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

If you walk in freedom, if you bear His name

Sing the song forever to the Lamb”

The power of Christ’s redeeming love, mercy, grace and forgiveness is a message the world desperately needs. As the Bible states, Christians are charged with sharing that message with the lost, dying and hurting.

1 John 3:1 “See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are because it did not see who he was.”

Lauren Daigle's latest collaboration with friend Ellie Holcomb is inspiring with the ‘Be Okay’ lyric video. It is truly nothing short of soul-stirring. Their song ‘Be Okay,’ with its jazzy gospel feel, is a reassuring and comforting melody that brings hope and encouragement to listeners everywhere. Lauren's warm and emotive vocals, combined with Ellie's harmonies, create a powerful duet that exudes an unwavering faith and trust in a higher power.

'Be Okay' stands out with its unique blend of gospel influences and jazzy undertones. The song's uplifting message not only reassures us that everything will be okay but also instills a sense of empowerment and resilience. Accompanied by the soulful sounds of a standup piano, Ellie and Lauren's voices convey a message of hope and strength. The saxophone solo further enhances the song's emotional depth, enveloping the listener in a sense of peace and solace.

Drawing strength from the belief that the sun will continue to rise and stars will keep shining even through the darkest nights, 'Be Okay' encourages us to lift our eyes to the hills and find help and support in times of difficulty. This message is beautifully echoed in related scriptures such as Psalm 121:1-2, 'I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth,' and Psalm 23:4, 'Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.'

In ‘Be Okay,’ Ellie and Lauren remind us that life's trials and heartbreaks do not have to be faced alone. There is a source of love and strength in the good Lord that is always present, offering hope and positivity. This song is a beautiful testament to the power of faith and the enduring presence of love and support, reassuring us that we will find our way, no matter how lost we may feel.

As John 14:27 reminds us, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." ‘Be Okay’ encapsulates God’s promise, leaving listeners with a profound sense of comfort and hope.

John 14:27 reminds us, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Incredibly talented Christian musician Jeremy Camp gave a powerful and moving performance of his song “These Days” live on national television.

Everyone listens to music in some way, shape, form or fashion. While not every type and genre of music is for every person, music is still universally loved. Some people may prefer easier listening and quieter sounds, while others might want more of an up-tempo and quickened beat.

Whatever your preference, everyone loves music. Not enjoying music is basically like saying, “I don’t like food.” Regardless, while everyone enjoys music, not everyone has heard about the gospel and the message of Jesus Christ. Music can be one way to reach lost souls for Him.

When he performed live on national television, Jeremy Camp had a huge opportunity and a platform to spread Christ’s message of hope, love and forgiveness. In a clip posted on his official Instagram page, Jeremy performed his hit “These Days” on the Fox News Channel’s morning program, Fox and Friends Weekend.

Jeremy gave an excellent and inspired performance as he sang about God having a plan and a purpose for each human being. That’s certainly a message that the world needs to hear. God does not make mistakes. We were all placed on this Earth for a reason. We are to fulfill a role and are part of a plan.

The song’s chorus contains a message that can be applied to every heart and life.

“I believe that you and I

Are in the right place, at the right time

God called us by name

And He doesn’t make mistakes”

Maybe because Jeremy was given such a massive platform on a program that potentially reached millions of people, the song’s message struck and resonated with someone.

People in the world today badly need hope, peace and the knowledge that they matter and are loved by the Creator of the universe.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word 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.”

Two of the biggest names in Christian music, Rebecca St. James and for KING + COUNTRY, joined forces and combined their enormous talent for the “You Make Everything Beautiful” official music video.

Humans have a knack for taking something beautiful and stainless and completely and utterly destroying it. Through arrogance and disobedience, man is responsible for unleashing sin into the world. Sin has done nothing but wreak havoc on the world, bringing about death, diseases and failed and strained relationships.

However, there is One who can take ashes and make something beautiful out of them. He can take the ugliest, most hopeless situation and inject life into it. God can and does take broken and shattered lives and mend them together.

In the official music video posted on YouTube, Rebecca St. James and the popular Christian duo KING + COUNTRY, who all happen to be siblings, perform “You Make Everything Beautiful.” It’s a lovely and charming tune about God's wonders and miracles even in the worst of circumstances.

The song’s chorus is simple but incredibly powerful, reminding us of what a great and mighty God we serve.

“And You make everything, everything beautiful

You make everything, everything new

You make everything, everything beautiful

In its time, in Your time, it’s beautiful”

What a lovely tune that you’ll no doubt want to listen to repeatedly.

No matter how bad or poor a situation may appear, God can work wonders. No one is too far gone to be forgiven by the Creator of the universe. God can and will use our imperfections, errors, mistakes and faults and turn them into something beautiful.

We serve a loving, faithful, merciful God who can still perform miracles, including turning something we thought to be lost and entirely beyond repair into something beautiful.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.”

Passion, an incredibly talented group of musicians, turned in a lovely and captivating acoustic performance of “How Great is Your Name.”

No one would have the opportunity for forgiveness and to experience everlasting life if not for God’s love and sacrifice. We’d all be destined to live out our days on this Earth lost in our sin and shame. But that is not the case because of God’s inexplicable and never-ending love, mercy and grace.

Jesus Christ, sent to Earth, willingly went to the cross. He suffered, bled and endured a horrible, agonizing and humiliating death for you and me. He made the ultimate sacrifice and paid the biggest price. He did what no one else could have ever done.

Praise His name!

In a clip posted on YouTube, Passion gives an emotional performance of “How Great is Your Name.” The tune perfectly captures and articulates the depths of Christ’s love and the world-changing importance of His death and resurrection.

While the band is fantastic in the five-and-a-half-minute clip, the lyrics set this song apart and will make you repeatedly listen and watch the video. The songwriting is outstanding. The tune’s first verse is compelling and moving, wasting no time getting to the importance of Christ’s death on the cross.

“To the King who left his throne

Trading glory for a cross

To the one who paid our debt in blood

Holy, holy, hallelujah to the Lamb”

You really can’t say or write it any better than that. Christ, seeing the sad state of humanity and the rupture that sin had caused between God and man, was sent to Earth. He gave up everything and died for us.

What astounding love, grace and mercy!  We are not deserving and will never be worthy of salvation.

Ephesians 2:8-9 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God: not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.”
