Worship leaders and songwriters Cody Carnes and Kari Jobe Carnes release their new song, “Doxology (All Praise),” available today. Marking their first new song released together in several years, the husband-and-wife duo brings a fresh expression of worship to one of the most recognizable hymns in Christian history, expanding the timeless words of the Doxology with six newly written verses.

Originally written in 1674 by Thomas Ken, the Doxology has been sung by generations of believers worldwide and remains one of the most widely recognized expressions of praise in Christian worship music. With “Doxology (All Praise),” Cody and Kari build on the beloved hymn, adding six new verses that journey through the biblical themes of Creation, the Cross, the Resurrection, the Holy Spirit, Christ’s Return, and Revelation. The result is a powerful declaration of worship that connects the church’s rich history with a new expression of praise for today’s generation.

“It’s said that Thomas Ken wrote Doxology to help people offer worship to God beyond formal chapel services and into their personal lives,” Cody and Kari share. “Our prayer for this version would be the same. It is such an honor to build on its rich history and we hope these six new verses that tell the story of who God is and what He has done would help believers worship God in all different moments of life. We are so stirred by the ways we see God moving powerfully across the Earth right now and pouring out His Spirit on all generations.”

The single’s artwork features Agnus Dei, Cordero Místico (c. late 18th century) by renowned Puerto Rican painter José Campeche y Jordán, incorporating historic Christian imagery that complements the song’s timeless message.

Throughout their careers, Cody and Kari have helped shape the sound of modern worship, giving the global church songs that have become prayers and declarations of faith. Among their most recognized collaborations is “The Blessing,” which has resonated with congregations worldwide. Most recently, the duo was awarded a 2026 GMA Dove Award for Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year for their powerful rendition of “The Blessing” alongside world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli.

While both artists have continued releasing music individually and collaborating on special projects, “Doxology (All Praise)” marks a special moment as they come together to introduce a new song rooted in the church’s enduring tradition of worship. 

UK singer-songwriter and worship leader Elle Limebear releases a powerful new live version of her chart-topping single “Give Me Joy,” recorded at London’s iconic O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire during her June UK dates supporting ELEVATION RHYTHM. The release captures an unforgettable night of worship at a venue that holds special significance for Limebear, nearly 20 years after her father, renowned worship leader Martin Smith, performed on the same stage.

Performing at Shepherd’s Bush Empire was a bucket-list moment for Limebear, bringing together her family’s musical legacy and her own journey as an artist. The evening was even more meaningful thanks to the audience’s overwhelming response, which filled the historic venue with voices singing along to “Give Me Joy” months before the song’s official studio release.

“Playing Shepherd’s Bush Empire was such a pinch-me moment,” shares Limebear. “Knowing my dad stood on that same stage nearly 20 years ago made it even more special. I’ve been singing this song with audiences for the past year, and hearing everyone sing it back so loudly that night was something I’ll never forget. God has been so kind and faithful, and I’m incredibly grateful that we captured this moment to share with everyone.”

Originally released July 24 as Limebear’s first single with DECCA Records, “Give Me Joy” has become a breakout success, spending nine weeks at No. 1 on the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart, including six consecutive weeks following its debut. The song also closed its 13-week eligible chart run at No. 1, with Limebear setting a new record for the most consecutive weeks atop the chart by a female artist. Beyond its success on the Christian & Gospel chart, the single reached No. 2 on the UK iTunes All Genres Songs Chart and debuted at No. 6 on the UK Singles Download Chart.

Inspired by the beloved British hymn Oil In My Lamp, “Give Me Joy” reimagines the familiar chorus with new verses and melodies, offering a fresh expression of hope and faith. Long before its chart success, the song had already become a favorite during Limebear’s live worship gatherings. The new recording brings listeners into the room where that connection was already taking shape, capturing the energy, celebration, and shared joy that have helped the song resonate with audiences across the UK.

 “We never know how much time we have to do the important things, and sometimes life interrupts our plans,” says award-winning gospel singer-songwriter Lauren Talley, describing a bit of the inspiration behind her brand new single, “While There’s Time.” The latest track to release as a single from her upcoming Walls (Part Two) EP, it was co-written by Talley and hit Christian songwriter Dave Clark. A poignant and heartfelt song, it highlights what really matters in life: being present, being forgiving, and telling your friends and loved ones what they mean to you – while you can.

“Dave Clark and I originally began this song as a loving tribute to our late friends, the Nelons,”Talley continues, “but the day after we wrote the song, Dave had a heart attack. He recovered well, but he called me to tell me that if this was the last song he got to write, it was important to him to say ‘I love you’ while there’s time.”

Beginning with stark, dramatic piano and building to an impassioned climax, “While There’s Time” isn’t burdened by the grief, loss, or conviction evident in its lyrics. Instead, it offers a Christ-centered illustration of how and why we should each be more grounded in our everyday lives, more aware of the fleeting nature of our existences, and more open, loving, and non-judgemental toward those in our communities. Without an ounce of condescension or self-righteousness, Talley sings these goals, for herself and others, that will always be timely and relatable in the song’s uplifting chorus:

I want to be a voice of mercy
To the ones who need a friend
Be the first to ask forgiveness
And the last one to condemn
I wanna say I’m sorry
And leave the past behind
Oh I want to say I love you
While there’s time

Talley’s confident, bold voice soars, intertwining with the worshipful, contemporary track – which was produced by Jason Webb, who also produced Walls (Part One). Clark and Talley artfully pinpoint Christ-like humility, thoughtful introspection, and earnest aspirations with their lyrics, turning a solemn subject into a joyful standard by which we can all live our lives.

“Hold your loved ones close and say the things that are important to say,” Talley concludes, giving a perfect synopsis of the mission behind the lovely and encouraging, “While There’s Time.”

Christian recording artist and worship leader Rachelle Fletcher has just released “Water in My Desert (Acoustic Version),” an intimate new recording of the worship song she first shared nearly a decade ago during one of the most difficult seasons of her life.

Water in My Desert – Rachelle Fletcher

Originally written during a seven-year season marked by financial loss, ministry upheaval, emotional wounds and uncertainty about the future, “Water in My Desert” began as Fletcher’s deeply personal prayer for God to meet her in the wilderness. After decades spent pouring into others through music, ministry and humanitarian work, she found herself confronting her own need for healing.

During an inner-healing conference, Fletcher experienced a defining moment as water was poured over her hands during prayer, an image that helped inspire a song rooted in the biblical promise of living water. The original recording asked God to fill her with His Word, power, peace and truth. Years later, Fletcher returned to the song from a profoundly different place.

“I wrote this song during a time when everything around me seemed to be falling apart,” says Fletcher. “I had spent so many years ministering to others, but suddenly I found myself desperate for God to heal my own heart. I didn’t know how He was going to put everything back together.”

For the new recording, Fletcher entered the studio in Nashville with her daughter Bri at the helm. Tender instrumentation, strings and cello preserve the vulnerability of the original while reflecting the restoration that followed. The mother-daughter collaboration also gives the song’s new chapter a deeply personal family connection.

Its most meaningful change arrives in the final chorus. Where Fletcher once sang, “Fill me with Your Word. Fill me with Your Power,” the new version declares, “You filled me with Your Word. You filled me with Your Power.” The closing lyrics now continue: “I learned to walk in peace and truth / You healed my heart and made me new / You’re the only one who satisfied my thirst / You’re the water in my desert.”

“Years later, when I felt it was time to record the song again, I realized I couldn’t sing the ending the same way,” says Fletcher. “I wasn’t just asking God to fill me anymore. I had experienced His healing, His restoration and His faithfulness. So I changed the final chorus from ‘Fill me’ to ‘You filled me.’ That’s the beauty of this release. I’m singing the same song, but I’m standing in a different place. And my prayer is that anyone walking through their own wilderness will be reminded that God is still working, even when they can’t see it.”

Drawing from the imagery of Isaiah 43:19, Isaiah 44:3 and John 4:14, “Water in My Desert” speaks to listeners navigating grief, disappointment, burnout, unanswered questions or seasons when their dreams seem to have died. Its message does not deny the reality of the wilderness; it points to Jesus as the Living Water who sustains, heals and restores in the middle of it.

The song also reflects the mission Fletcher has carried through decades of ministry and service. As co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of The Goodness Project and founder of The Gathering for Women, she has devoted her life to bringing practical help and spiritual encouragement to people facing difficult circumstances.

“Sometimes we pray for God to get us out of the desert, but I realized He meets us in the middle of the desert,” says Fletcher. “And the desert does not get the final word.”

Christian pop/rock duo Joe & Beth release “I Stand Forgiven,” transforming one of the most painful chapters of Joe Guerra’s life into a declaration of grace, recovery and freedom.

I Stand Forgiven – Joe & Beth

Years before Joe & Beth became a husband-and-wife music ministry, Guerra was living two very different lives. Following a painful divorce, he began privately using alcohol to numb the hurt while continuing to serve in church, write songs and speak publicly about faith. Most people around him had no idea how much shame, fear and isolation he was carrying behind the scenes.

“I Stand Forgiven” was born from what happened when that hidden struggle finally came into the light. Guerra describes reaching a point where self-reliance stopped working and honest confession became the doorway to recovery. Rooted in 1 John 1:9 and 1 John 4:16-18, the song rejects the idea that healing requires pretending to have everything together. Instead, it points toward the freedom that can begin when fear and shame are met by truth, grace and the love of God.

“I’ve been on a journey of recovery and healing that started with being cleansed from the inside out through the forgiveness of a gracious God,” Guerra says. “He’s restored so much in my life — more than I thought possible. I’m no longer living out of shame and self-reliance, but standing strong in the forgiveness of God. My prayer is that this song encourages anyone facing struggles, addictions or hangups to find strength and renewal in Christ. Today, I stand forgiven — and regardless of what your secrets may be, you can too.”

Musically, the song carries that testimony into an uplifting, anthemic Christian pop/rock setting, with the chorus distilling the heart of the message: “When love and fear meet face to face / Shame disappears in amazing grace.” Rather than treating confession as defeat, “I Stand Forgiven” frames vulnerability as the place where healing can begin and where broken hearts can learn to beat again.

The single is also an intentional bridge between Guerra’s earlier solo chapter and the music he and Beth are now building together. “I Stand Forgiven” comes from a group of recovery-centered songs Guerra wrote during the season that preceded their marriage. By releasing those songs through the Joe & Beth era, the couple is inviting listeners into the redemption story that helped shape their relationship, ministry and future music.

That story is increasingly becoming part of their live ministry as well. Following a recent run of their “Freedom & Praise Nights” tour through Missouri and Iowa, Joe & Beth are in the process of adding more dates in additional regions. Presented in partnership with churches and recovery ministries, the events center on the story behind “I Stand Forgiven,” alongside worship and testimony. The duo also has select November dates opening for Love & The Outcome as they continue building toward a new season of Joe & Beth releases in 2027.

Country singer-songwriter Baylee Lynn today releases “Save Me A Seat,” a piano-led ballad that turns the everyday gesture of saving someone a place into a hopeful request for a reunion in heaven. Out now via The Core Records/Capitol alongside an official music video, the song is a tender reflection on losing someone whose presence has shaped your life, and on the faith that goodbye isn’t forever.

Written by Baylee Lynn, Jenna Shuffler, Blake Bollinger and Nate Kenyon, and produced by AJ Pruis, the piano-driven “Save Me A Seat” opens with piano and gradually building into a sweeping arrangement, with swelling strings giving its intimate story a soaring finish. The accompanying music video places Baylee in an empty church, tying the song’s themes of faith and loss to her own beginnings singing in church alongside her parents in Greeneville, Tennessee.

Says Lynn, “I’ve held this song very close to my heart and now it’s out for the world to hear. This song was written in honor of my sweet Poppy and the love he brought to this world. Although his recliner in my granny’s living room is empty, I know his eternal seat is taken and he’s got one saved for me. Grief is not easy to navigate, but I hope this song brings you a sense of peace when listening.”

“Save Me A Seat” follows October’s “Happy That We Met” and arrives after drawing more than 500,000 views across social previews. Lynn introduced her candid country-pop sound with her 2025 debut “Cautiously Optimistic,” and has since earned attention from Billboard and Country Now and released her debut EP, Heart On My Sleeve. Her catalog, which includes “That’s What I’ll Be” from the Nobody Wants This Season 2: The Soundtrack, has reached nearly 9M global views to date. Following shows supporting Maddox Batson and Redferrin, she’ll perform at The Listening Room Cafe in Nashville on November 21. 

GRAMMY-Award winner and multifaceted entertainer Michelle Williams and modern-soul singer Kenny Lattimore have blended their signature voices on an uplifting new song “God With Us” (Tyscot Records) that was inspired by the new holiday film by the same name. “God With Us” releases to all major digital music platforms on November 13, 2026 – the same day that the film premieres at select theaters around the USA.

Nikki Grier (who’s written for acts as varied as Big Sean and Jon Batiste) penned the song and interpolated the melody of Tevin Campbell’s 1993 gem, “Can We Talk?” The mid-tempo urban groove was produced by Harmony H-Money Samuels (known for his work with the likes of Ella Mai, Arianna Grande and Williams’ last solo album “Journey To Freedom”) who gives the song undeniable commercial swag. Lattimore’s wailing tenor and Williams’ breathy soprano complement each other and make this a feel-good collaboration. The track is the first offering from the forthcoming motion picture soundtrack that features some of the biggest names in R&B and gospel music.

The highly-anticipated motion picture stars Aspen Kennedy (The Forge) and Ashley Olivia Fisher (Average Joe) as inner-city, childhood sweethearts who embark on a divine mission that tests their faith, challenges their future and reveals the extraordinary power of unconditional love. The film, a modern retelling of the nativity story, also features Rotimi, Gregory Alan Williams, Roger Guenveur Smith and Clifton Powell.

“God With Us,” the single, is lifted from the forthcoming soundtrack, God With Us, available this holiday season.

Nigerian gospel minister and worship leader Chidi Solomon has teamed up with gospel singer Christiana Gabriella and the worship collective Sounds of Salem for a new record titled “Gaining.” The song arrived on October 31, 2026, and it sits firmly in the worship lane these three names belong to. Chidi leads the track with a heartfelt expression of worship, while Christiana Gabriella and Sounds of Salem add their voices to carry the message.

The idea behind “Gaining” is simple but weighty. It asks believers to flip how they see devotion, not as something done for God’s benefit, but as a privilege and favour that flows back to the worshipper. That framing shapes the mood of the record: love for God, humility, and wholehearted commitment, all held together by the combined voices on the track.

“His Mercy Endures” is a deeply spiritual and celebratory worship anthem that captures a sound of divine mercy, faith, and gratitude. Born out of a season of prayer (following a 7-day prayer period shared by the artist), the track blends Pelumi Deborah’s heartfelt vocal delivery with Dunsin Oyekan’s signature deep, fiery ministration style.
