Congratulations to sixstepsrecords/Capitol Christian Music Group artist Crowder, who has been nominated for two 2022 K-Love Fan Awards — Artist of the Year and Male Artist of the Year.

These nominations arrive just weeks before the genre-defying artist is set to hit the road on his headline ‘My People Tour.’ Joined by special guests We The Kingdom, Anne Wilson and Patrick Mayberry, the 9-date amphitheater trek will kick off on June 9th in Orange Beach, AL, before making notable stops in Greensboro, NC, Austin, TX, and more. Fans can purchase tickets by visiting crowdermusic.com.

The 2022 K-Love Fan Awards will take place on Sun., May 29 at Nashville’s famed Grand Ole Opry House, and final voting is open now at klovefanawards.com.

Gotee Records’ worship artist and songwriter Jon Reddick celebrates his K-LOVE Fan Award Nomination for “Breakout Single of the Year” on the heels of his full-length label debut, God, Turn It Around.

The K-LOVE Awards will be held at the OPRY in Nashville during Memorial Day weekend and will be broadcasted on June 3rd on TBN. 

The nominated single from his debut project is also a Top 5 Billboard Christian Airplay and Mediabase Christian Audience song this week along with more than 27 million combined streams across Amazon Music, AppleMusic, Pandora, Spotify, and YouTube.

“Seeing how this song continues to connect with listeners from all walks of life is never lost on me,” shares Jon Reddick. “Hearing stories of how He has been using this song has truly been one of the greatest gifts in my life.”

Reddick’s full-length debut features a mix of studio and live versions of previously released songs as well as two never-before-released live versions of “The Power of Your Name” and “Keep Me Near.” In addition to the new tracks, the album also includes three different versions of the radio hit, “God, Turn It Around.”

The studio version is produced by Paul Moak, the live version is co-produced by Danny Duncan and Reddick and an additional live version features Matt Maher. Celebrating the release, the album was featured on more than 20 editorial playlists on digital platforms.

Gotee founder and artist TobyMac says he is not surprised by the success of Reddick’s songs and knows these new additions are going to make just as meaningful an imprint on listeners’ lives.

“Jon Reddick has been my worship leader for almost a decade now,” shares TobyMac. “He’s not only a gifted singer who expresses soul and emotion as well as anyone I’ve ever heard, but also a songwriter whose lyrics awaken my heart to hope through God’s love.”Listeners can catch Reddick on tour this Christmas season on the K-Love Christmas tour with other artists Brandon Heath and Tasha Layton. More information to follow on the tour.

Gospel music minister Dunsin Oyekan offers visuals of his 3rd track Code of Worship off latest album The Glory Experience (Songs of Zion)

HOLY is a call to separation, HALLELUJAH is everything Jesus did by His death, burial resurrection, ascension and enthronement at the right Hand of the Father. AMEN is the seal of God. Once Amen comes on a matter it cannot be changed. Enter the throne room of God, using The Code of Worship; it starts from Holy to Hallelujah and it ends on Amen.

LYRICS

Verse 1
There’s a sound, A sound of worship
Flowing from us, Rivers of our praise
We lift your name, And it’s resounding
You’re responding, To every word we say

Pre-Chorus
Just like the sound of many waters
Let your word rush over us
Come with your strength, Lord, come in power
Overtake our hearts

Chorus
Let it flow, let it flow
Holy Spirit, we’re desperate
Let it flow, overflow
Saturate us with your Glory, Lord

Bridge
Living water flow
Pour your Spirit out
Cover every soul
Drenching every heart
What a joy we’ve found
Let’s repeat the sound
We will sing it loud
Whoooaaaa ohh ohhh

Benjamin Hastings has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Anyway.

‘Anyway,’ written by Josh Grimmett, David Leonard, Chris Davenport, and Hastings, is a declaration of faith in Jesus in the face of adversity.

Hasting writes: ‘I have to trust that whatever mess I find myself in, it’s what’s making me the person I was made to be. I have to trust when it comes to God that his ‘will is worth the test’ in highlight, in heartbreak, it’s all the same and my response to him should be as such, the same.’

LYRICS:

I will trust in Your intentions
Even through my question marks
So I don’t need to know the answers
Because I know the one who does

You’ve been God for a while
So the wisdom of time
Says You always know best
So whatever befalls
Whatever You want
Your will is worth the test

When it’s yes, or no, or wait
I’m gonna praise You anyway
I’m gonna praise You anyway
Highlight, heartbreak
I’m gonna praise You anyway
I’m gonna praise You anyway
When the sky is blue
When it pours with rain
In the promise and the pain
Oh to me it’s all the same
I’m gonna praise You anyway
I’m gonna praise You anyway

I will trust in Your intentions
Even through my question marks
So I don’t need to know the answers
Cause I know that I know the one who does

You’ve been God for a while
So the devil’s had time
But still can’t shake Your plans
So whatever befalls
Whatever You want
Your will is worth the test

When it’s yes, or no, or wait
I’m gonna praise You anyway
I’m gonna praise You anyway
Highlight, heartbreak
I’m gonna praise You anyway
I’m gonna praise You anyway
When the sky is blue
When it falls with rain
In the promise and the pain
Oh to me it’s all the same
I’m gonna praise You anyway
I’m gonna praise You anyway

Cause Your heart is for me
And it always will be
I won’t doubt the plan
Cause that’s not my place
I just take my song, praise You anyways
Cause Your always worthy
And You always will be
I won’t doubt the plan
Cause that’s not my place
I just take my song, praise You anyways
