Aaron Shust releases new music with “Forsaken (Psalm 22)”. This is the second release of 10 Psalms on his upcoming 10th full-length album entitled Heaven + Earth.
This Psalm is believed to have been written while David was in the desert, fleeing for his life from King Saul.
Considered a Messianic Psalm, the opening line (“Eli Eli lama azavtani?” in Hebrew) was quoted by Jesus while on the cross, drawing attention to the remarkably accurate, prophetic statements finding their fulfillment even as He spoke.
Heaven + Earth is set to release next month (March 17).
Sixstepsrecords/Capitol CMG’s Passion has released their newest song, “I’ve Witnessed It,” which debuted at Passion Conference last month.
For more than two decades, Passion has continued to unite students in worship, prayer and justice, gathering a generation ignited for the fame and renown of Jesus.
Led by Passion’s Melodie Malone, the song connected immediately with more than 30,000 students in attendance across two events over the New Year holiday. Click here to listen to the truth in this anthem “I’ve Witnessed It.”
“We don’t often use the word ‘witness’ in our everyday vernacular, and it is my hope that we reinstate a bit of the meaning it carries in this song,” shares Passion’s Melodie Malone. “Eugene Peterson says ‘a witness is never the center but only the person who points to or names what is going on at the center…’ If that is true then not only are we all witnesses but it’s why we were created — to give praise and honor and glory to the only one worthy of all of it, Jesus Christ.”
This year’s conference was held in two locations. The first gathering in Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX at Dickies Arena, followed by Passion’s home base in Atlanta, GA at State Farm Arena. In addition to today’s release of “I’ve Witnessed It,” the live performance video from Atlanta has premiered on YouTube. Click below to watch this powerful performance captured.
Malone continues, “We sing to remind our souls of the character of the one we worship and to help resuscitate a faith in desperate need of hope.”
Ushering in the writing, recording and leading of some of the most recognizable and unforgettable worship anthems of this generation, Passion has two RIAA Gold Certified Singles (“Even So Come” and “One Thing Remains”) and more than 3.2 billion global streams. Following the release of this new song, Passion will have a new live album that was recorded during both events releasing March 2023.

Multi-award winning singer and street evangelist Testimony Jaga sets the tone for the year with a new sound ‘NO Chorus’ the song is a build up to another single set for release within the month of February.
Known with the popular slogan Jaga is here, Jesus is here making a statement with this sound to debunt the lies from the pit of hell making rounds.
The lyrics captures the story of a young man who is striving to fulfill his mandate on earth, but a lot are making an effort to pull him down but forgetting to note that he didn’t call himself.
A man who didnt call himself relies solely on the one who have called him to serve. Whatever a man tries to do to see another fall will only be a futile endeavour.

Don’t take your Church Clothes off just yet! On Friday, February 3rd at 11 am, Lecrae Moore and Andy Mineo will premiere the video short “Good Lord,” a new krunk-fu film directed by Nathan “Dust” Corrona, with additional creative direction by its co-stars Lecrae and Andy Mineo.
The music video for “Good Lord” is a great story about an awful movie. Lecrae and Andy Mineo star in an original comedy as two unlikely filmmakers who are hell-bent on producing a half-baked script after being laughed out of every major Hollywood film studio.
Armed with low fidelity cam-corders and out sized hubris, the duo is so impressed with their idea they begin filming “the making of Good Lord the Movie”, chronicling their adventures and accidentally creating a music video. Watch “Good Lord” here and stream “Good Lord” off of “Church Clothes 4” here.
Along with the premiere of the krunk-fu film, fans of the Church Clothes mixtape series will be excited to discover the deluxe, “Church Clothes 4: Dry Clean Only,” coming February 24th featuring appearances from D. Smoke, J. Paul, Torey D’Shaun and more. The new music is in addition to the original CC4 Mixtape, which featured Andy Mineo, WHATUPRG, nobigdyl, Jon Keith, and A.I. The Anomaly, and Jordan L’Oreal. “We recorded so much great music for Church Clothes 4, and some great tracks didn’t make the mixtape, so we decided to keep you in your Church Clothes a little longer,” shares Lecrae.
What’s after Church Clothes 4: Dry Clean Only? Lecrae is performing a series of dates leading up to “The Final Church Clothes Tour,” which kicks off on March 17th in Orlando, FL, and then travels to 26 cities across The South, Midwest, and East Coast ending May 14th in Massachusetts. For tickets, tour dates, and cities, please visit Lecrae.com/tour.
Women Who Worship, a collection of female worship artists, songwriters and creatives, has released a new song from the upcoming self-titled project.
The new track, “Great Mystery,” features Jessie Early and is available today along with the live performance video. Last month, Women Who Worship released the first song, “Firm Foundation (He Won’t)” featuring Lindy Cofer.
Click here to listen to the new song and below for the video.
“I wrote ‘Great Mystery’ with my good friend Bede Benjamin-Korporaal,” shares Jessie Early. “My father-in-law had just passed away suddenly and tragically a few weeks before, and that day the only thing I could bring myself to write about was eternity and the mystery of God.”
Women Who Worship began in 2019 when Capitol CMG Publishing hosted 45 female worship artists and songwriters for the inaugural writing camp. It was out of that camp that the movement was birthed.
The Women Who Worship community creates space where there is room for everyone at the table.
The Women Who Worship project will be released on March 3rd in partnership with WorshipTogether. The album was recorded live last year when the group gathered to unite and amplify the voices of women from around the world. Some of the women featured in the upcoming release include Cofer, Rita Springer, Leslie Jordan, Jessie Early, Emmy Rose, Cecily Hennigan, Shantrice Laura, and Enoila Abioye.
UK worship artist and songwriter Martin Smith releases a unique version of his song, “Holy,” with Kari Jobe. The original song appears on Smith’s most recent album, Dancing In The Fire, which was released last year. Click here to listen to the new version of “Holy.”
“Kari has brought this song alive,” shares Martin Smith. “It’s great hearing people sing about the ‘holiness’ of God in a new context. The scripture that inspired this song can be found in Hebrews 12:14 (NIV) Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
Smith will join “The Blessing Tour” West Coast edition with Kari Jobe along with her husband and worship leader Cody Carnes beginning in Las Vegas, NV on March 9th. The tour will hit nine major markets on the West Coast bringing special nights of worship to these cities. See below for more info on the tour.
Kari Jobe adds, “I’ve been so thankful for the beautiful investment Martin Smith has made in worship over the years. ‘Holy’ is such a special song and it’s been an honor to be a part of this version. Also, really excited to lead this with him on our upcoming Blessing West Coast tour.”
“I am so honoured that Kari Jobe is singing on this song,” continues Smith. “I love Kari and Cody very much and believe in all they are and what they do. I can’t wait to sing this song on the road on these special nights.”
The official video of “All Sufficient Merit” from the album Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs (Live) by Shane & Shane. Recorded live at Liberty University.
Lyrics:
All sufficient merit shining like the sun A fortune I inherit by no work I have done My righteousness I forfeit at my Savior’s cross Where all sufficient merit did what I could not
In love He condescended eternal now in time A life without a blemish the Maker made to die The law could never save us our lawlessness had won Until the pure and spotless lamb had finally come
It is done it is finished no more debt I owe Paid in full all sufficient merit now my own
I lay down my garments any empty boasts Good works now all corrupted by the sinful host I’m dressed in my Lord Jesus a crimson robe made white No more fear of judgement His righteousness is mine
It is done it is finished no more debt I owe Paid in full all sufficient merit now my own It is done it is finished no more debt I owe Paid in full all sufficient merit now my own
Own its now my own
All sufficient merit firm in life and death The joy of my salvation shall be my final breath When I stand accepted before the throne of God I’ll gaze upon my Jesus and thank Him for the cross Yes I’ll thank Him for the cross
It is done it is finished no more debt I owe Paid in full all sufficient merit now my own
It is done it is finished no more debt I owe Paid in full all sufficient merit now my own Merit now my own Merit now my own
