Aaron Shust shares the the official lyric video for “Rest,” which can be viewed below. The track was featured on Shust’s 2019 album Nothing to Fear. Shust shares about the track and release:

With lyrics taken straight from the Bible (Psalm 37:7, 42:1, 46:10 and Isaiah 7:4) this has become one of my favorite songs I’ve ever recorded. The beauty of strings coupled with their intensity remind me of the struggle that often exists when attempting to trust God with all the things we’d rather control ourselves.

Even as I type these words, the world outside my home is covered under a think blanket of snow. The schools in Middle Tennessee ground to a halt, most of Nashville did, with roads more treacherous than we’re used to navigating. We’ve been FORCED to stop and to rest. To depend on the provisions we have. To realize that even without school, appointments, sports, rehearsals and quick trips to the grocery store…the world keeps on spinning.

No one wants to be forced to rest, but thankfully, our God has INVITED us into His rest. Through daily sleep, the weekly Sabbath, and ultimately through His Son Jesus. “Come to Me” Jesus said, “all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest…learn from Me…you will find rest for your souls.” (Matt 11:28-29)

The Worship Initiative releases the official video for “Behold Him (Live),” which can be viewed below. The recording features Aaron Williams and John Marc Kohl and was filmed at The Worship Initiative Studios in Dallas, Texas.

“Behold Him,” featured on The Worship Initiative Vol 28 (Live), is available to download and stream.

Here is a new song dubbed “Firm Foundation” featuring Cody Carnes and Chandler Moore which can be heard below.

“Firm Foundation (He Won’t)” was written by Moore, Carnes and Austin Davis. This video was captured in Chicago, IL during Maverick City’s national tour, Welcome to Maverick City, October 1st, 2021.

“In such a shaky season, it was burning in my heart to write a song that declared what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 7,” shares Cody Carnes on the inspiration for his new song. “It says, Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. The world can be in chaos all outside our windows, but when we build our house on Jesus, we can have confidence knowing that our foundation is secure. We’re not going down! This new song celebrates that truth. I pray it blesses you.”
