Wickham continues, “I wrote ‘BEHOLD’ last Christmas season, and I knew that I wanted someone to join me in singing it. When I heard her song on the radio, “My Jesus,” I knew I had to have Anne sing with me. Thanks to the very talented Anne Wilson for joining me on it. It is going to be so special to do these Christmas shows with her. They are going to be powerful!”

Five-time Grammy nominated artist Matthew West releases his sixth book, “The God Who Stays” – out today. Published by W. Publishing Group, an imprint of Thomas Nelson, the new book is an engaging and thoughtful exploration, balanced with West’s trademark wit and humor, that helps us reconnect to the Biblical truth that God is with us. In his most personal book to date, West was inspired by the dramatic events of 2020 to go on a spiritual journey of rediscovery and revival inspired by the words of his hit song “The God Who Stays.” For more information visit matthewwest.com/thegodwhostays. To celebrate the release, the storyteller will be participating in a LiveSigning tonight at 6pm CT where fans can hear their questions get answered and watch their copies being autographed. “The God Who Stays” is available HERE.

“With ‘The God Who Stays,’ I wrote the book that I needed,” shares West. “During a time of extreme isolation when our lives were dominated by words like ‘separation,’ and ‘social distancing,’ this book served as a chapter by chapter reminder of the spiritual closeness I can experience in my life moment by moment. I laughed and I cried as I poured out my heart on these pages and I hope that all who read it will reach the end saying, “I needed that reminder of the God who stays too.”
West’s current single “Me On Your Mind” is his most recent number one song, spending 6 weeks atop the Mediabase Christian Airplay and graces the top the Billboard Christian Airplay Chart for the fifth week. It marks West’s 25th number one song combined as an artist and songwriter. He recently released a reimagined duet version featuring Anne Wilson’s striking vocals which are a natural addition to the song as she also served as a co-writer on the track with West and Jeff Pardo. The accompanying video depicts West and Wilson as adults looking back at their younger selves and praising God for his constant presence in their lives. In the end, they come together to worship with West on piano and backed by a soulful choir.

Following the reception of her debut ‘BECOME’ Chinma comes through with a new sound ‘Sing Praise’. This is a song born from Psalm 150:6, “Let everything that has breath, Praise the Lord”.
It was recorded at the 2021 Worship Hour event, with the theme “Raise a Sound”.
It’s a song that stems from the understanding that being alive is all the reason one needs to Praise God. It’s not just about the profound things or the magnanimous or miraculous things, as long as we are living, breathing in and out, God deserves all our praise.
This Song is a praise reminder and a call to align our priorities back to giving God glory just for our very lives.
LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATHE, PRAISE THE LORD!
Anointed female Nigerian Gospel music minister Amaka Innocent delivers the long-awaited video to the single titled, “Jesus My Pride.”
In her words, she says “Chi onem Ji eme onu (Jesus My Pride) came as a revelation of God’s awesomeness; His might, Greatness, Power and the beauty of His unfathomable weight of glory.
He is indeed worthy to be made boast of.”
Amaka’s choice of tempo, adlibs, arrangements etc are consciously fused together to enable all across the board to enjoy and eulogise God in diverse ways.
The song takes the track five(5) spot in her new EP project, “Enlarged,” released earlier this year 2022.
This new video is directed by Cece-west; shot at SowStudio.
