LYRICS VERSE 1 Inspite of all my flaws and mistakes You looked past my failures And You chose me all the same I don’t know what I’ve done To deserve You So I sing this song of love From the bottom of my heart
CHORUS My Lover My Lover oh My Lover My Lover oh I love the way You love me for me My Lover My Lover oh My Lover My Lover oh I love the way You love me for me
VERSE 2 I have found in You a friend that I can trust Who will never leave nor forsake me Through the sunshine and the rain With You by my side, I’m protected You’ve been constant through the seasons You’ll be faithful till the end
BRIDGE I’m naked and not ashamed Broken and not afraid I love the way You love me for me I’m naked and not ashamed Broken and not afraid I love the way You love me for me
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.
Cochren & Co. debuts their sophomore album titled Running Home. This collection reminds listeners of the fact that Jesus will always meet you where you are, whether that’s a parking lot or in the middle of the night – not just within the four walls of a church on Sunday morning. The songs on this album are rich both musically and lyrically.
“Running Home” is the title track of Cochren & Co.’s new collection. This song is upbeat and energetic, and perfectly displays worship leader Michael Cochren’s rich vocals. This song easily sets the tone for the rest of the album.
“Thank God For Sunday Morning”, a previously released single, reminds listeners that no matter what you walk through, the Lord always has His arms opened wide, waiting for you to come back to Him. In keeping up with the theme of running back home, this song also points back to Cochren & Co.’s hit song “Church (Take Me Back)” and really highlights not only Cochren’s testimony but all of our stories as well.
“Parking Lot”, while an unconventional title, is a song that helps remind listeners that Jesus can meet you anywhere. This track is also a perfect fit to the message that Cochren is wanting to share with his listeners. Jesus will meet you right where you are – no matter what you are going through or what you have done. All you have to do is call out to Him.
With Running Home, Cochren & Co. continues to release music that is both spiritually uplifting but also catchy and energetic. This set of ten tracks points to the reminder that no matter how far we are from home, God is always calling us back and is waiting for us with arms open wide, if we choose to call out to Him. Cochren & Co.’s new album, Running Home is out now, so be sure to stream it today!
Transparent Productions is thrilled to announce the spring leg of Danny Gokey’s “Jesus People” Tour. Tickets are currently on sale with three dates already being sold out. Danny Gokey’s “Jesus People” Tour is a continuation of the successful fall run, which sold-out six dates. Three-time GRAMMY® nominee and American Idol alum Danny Gokey will kick off the 25-city tour on February 16 in Jacksonville, FL, and will wrap on March 26 in Memphis, TN. Special guests Jordan Feliz and Blanca will join Gokey for 26 dates. See below for the complete list of tour dates and ticket links.
“I can’t wait to head out on this spring leg of the Jesus People Tour!” says Danny Gokey. “What I love about Jordan and Blanca is that we’re all aligned with a similar heart for ministering to and encouraging believers to be the light that God has called us to be in the world around us!”
Gokey’s live shows are full of non-stop energy and music that crosses genres and cultures alike. Jesus People, his last studio album, debuted at No. 1 with messages of love, gratitude, and truth that are reflected in both the tour’s title and mission. Gokey will also be taking that mission off the stage and into some of the communities where the tour is visiting. Through his organization, ‘Better Than I Found It,’ Danny and his team will be doing “Bus Stops” tailored to the needs of the area, partnering with local nonprofits to help residents in each area.
“I am so excited to head back out on the second leg of the Jesus People Tour,” shares Jordan Feliz. “Being out with Danny and Blanca is gonna be so fun! I know we are so excited to see all that the Lord is going to do every single night. Grab tickets and come worship the creator of the universe with us!”
Blanca adds, “On the top of my list of people I would love to tour with are Jordan Feliz and Danny Gokey, so you can imagine my excitement when I heard that I would get an opportunity to tour with them. This tour is going to be incredible!! I am such a fan of both artists and I know for a fact the night will be filled with such good music and encouraging messages that will lift up the name of Jesus and bring hope to all of our hearts. So honored that I get to be a part of it!”
World Vision is the title sponsor of the tour. World Vision is an international partnership of Christians whose mission is to follow the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice, and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God.

GRAMMY nominated songstress Anne Wilson releases her transformative feature track “Living Water” for the upcoming film Jesus Revolution. Arriving just days before celebrating the GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles as a first-time nominee for her debut album My Jesus, “Living Water” finds Wilson’s powerful vocals leading listeners on an ethereal quest to find true meaning. The accompanying visual, premiering exclusively on Facebook today, spotlights key clips from the film that help convey the power behind reconciliation and the peace found while surrendering to your faith.
“I love to create and write songs, especially ones that truly speak to me,” shares Wilson. “After watching the new Jesus Revolution movie, I was deeply inspired by its message and its ability to reignite my own faith journey, which led us to write ‘Living Water.’ I hope it’s a testament to the transformative power of music and I pray that it will touch your heart in a profound away.”
Tapped by Lionsgate/Kingdom Story Company to pen the digital single, Wilson enlisted the help of renowned songwriters Matthew West and Jeff Pardo to write the feature track. The highly anticipated Jesus Revolutionfilm starring Kelsey Grammer, Joel Courtney and Kimberly Williams-Perry will be hitting theaters nationwide on Feb. 24.
The artist with “unmistakable strength and unique country flair” (American Songwriter) is set to celebrate a big night of accomplishments at the 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards taking place this Sunday, Feb. 5 at the Crypto.com Arena in LA. Making her mark with her first recognition from the Academy, the milestone achievement was made by the 20-year-old vocalist in near-record timing, who transcended on the scene just 18 months ago with her “deeply personal breakout ballad” (Billboard) and now RIAA GOLD certified single, “My Jesus.” Not only was the Christian hitmaker recognized for a debut album (My Jesus), Wilson also represents the only female in the highly-revered Best Contemporary Christian Album category.
The GRAMMY nod comes after a breakthrough year that saw Wilson taking home two awards at the GMA Dove Awards, two K-LOVE Fan Awards, and a coveted American Music Awards nomination. After playing over 150+ shows in 2022, the newly-named Pandora Artist to Watch: Christian/Gospel shows no sign of slowing down, and continues to captivate cities nationwide on the 2023 Winter Jam tour.
Offering love, hope and inspiration, The Kingdom Choir today make a timely return with their brand-new single “Not Giving Up”. Founded in 1994 by Karen Gibson MBE (the Godmother of Gospel), The Kingdom Choir have continued to win hearts since their unforgettable performance at the 2018 Royal Wedding in front of a global televised audience of 2 billion people. Listen to “Not Giving Up” HERE.
Offering a ray of hope amongst the darkness, “Not Giving Up” is instantly affecting as Wayne Ellington’s rich, baritone exalts the power that comes with believing that better times are waiting ahead of us. While his voice alone would make for a captivating, emotional experience, the harmonies from the rest of The Kingdom Choir take it to a whole new level with their grace, majesty and sheer expressiveness able to move anyone.
“Not Giving Up” was written by Alex Hart, Greg Dwight, Karen Gibson, Wilson Atie, Jonathan Owusu-Yianomah and produced by Alex Hart and Jonathan Owusu-Yianomah.
The Kingdom Choir commented, “In our changing world, this is the song that rises from our hearts. It speaks of freedom and a determination to press on, a reminder that hope takes us through the broken moments of life onto a brighter day.”
“Not Giving Up” is also a reflection of The Kingdom Choir’s own journey. Karen Gibson had led the choir for over two decades before their breakthrough moment in the spotlight, during which time the group – spread across London and from various Christian traditions – became renowned for their shared talents, collective spirit, and instantly uplifting performances.
The Kingdom Choir’s performances have remained in global demand ever since their performance at the Royal Wedding, with highlights including the Invictus Games, ITV’s Concert for Ukraine, Prince Albert II of Monaco’s 2021 gala, Expo 2020 and a headline show at the Hollywood Bowl. They have been sought out as collaborators by artists such as Gladys Knight, Gregory Porter, Emelie Sandé, and Madness, as well as for brand collaborations which have included Cartier, Ralph Lauren, Coca-Cola, Burberry,British Airways, and Marks & Spencer. The Kingdom Choir ended 2022 by performing as special guests at Trevor Nelson’s Soul Christmas extravaganza at the Royal Albert Hall alongside the likes of Corinne Bailey-Rae and Andrew Roachford.

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.”
