Tulsa, OK Christian hip hop artist and visionary ChristianXXII is proud to announce the official release of his new single, “Lift Me Up,” available everywhere today via DREAM Records.
Known for his distinct ability to merge cinematic soundscapes with raw emotional transparency, ChristianXXII delivers one of his most vulnerable with “Lift Me Up.” The song confronts the heavy tensions of feeling overwhelmed by life’s trials — likening the struggle to sinking in sand — while anchoring itself in his faith in God that lifts other believers when human endurance falls short.

“Working on ‘Lift Me Up’ was an exercise in absolute honesty,” ChristianXXII shares. “When we feel completely depleted, but try to stand on our own strength and find ourselves sinking. This song is a cry for God’s intervention and a reminder that when we are at our weakest, His strength is perfected.”
Driven by motivational melodies, hard-hitting rhythmic production, and passionate lyrical delivery, “Lift Me Up” captures the exact moment of surrender where human weakness meets God’s power. The song serves as a prayer for anyone navigating seasons of doubt, fatigue, or spiritual warfare, reminding listeners that God is the ultimate refuge and anchor.
“A couple of years ago,” recalls The Kingdom Heirs‘ Chris Bryant, “I was talking with Rodney Griffin at the National Quartet Convention about how much his songwriting had meant to me through the years. We mentioned how much fun it would be to co-write a song together, and my mind instantly went to the idea behind this song.” Now, the legendary Southern Gospel group presents the fruits of that encounter in their latest Sonlite Records single, “I Take It to the Lord.”

“As a songwriter,” he continues, “I have a notebook (although mostly on my phone now) filled with catchy phrases or partial songs — and this phrase, ‘When it’s more than I can take, I take it to the Lord,’ was one of those notes. Some time went by, and I was sitting at home one day looking through my notes when I remembered that conversation and began working on this song. I sent what I had been working on to Rodney, he wrote the second verse, and we finished the song together over the phone that afternoon. An idea that sat on a notepad for 2 1/2 years became a song in less than a day!”
A lively reminder of God’s readiness to take on our burdens, “I Take It to the Lord” features Bryant’s exuberant lead over the quartet’s backing and jaunty country fiddle from legendary multi-instrumentalist David Johnson, offering the chorus’s foundational reassurance:
I take it to the Lord And I leave it at the throne I lay it down at the feet of the One who knows my need To the place where I find mercy and a shelter from the storm When the burden is more than I can take I take it to the Lord
“We all go through the times when we feel like we just can’t handle any more of what life may throw our way,” Bryant observes. “It’s important for us to remember, as a child of God, that we were never meant to carry those burdens alone. He tells us to cast all of our cares on Him, because He cares for us! This upbeat song serves as a timely reminder for us all to do just that…take it all to the Lord!”

Bringing an intimate, faith-filled, and resonant energy to their music, this new release highlights the group’s ongoing commitment to creating worship experiences that connect listeners directly to the heart of God. “The God Who Goes Before Me” is a stirring song of trust, reminding believers that wherever He leads, His sovereign hand guides and secures every step.
“The God Who Goes Before Me” is a song about the posture of faith and obedience, to encourage people to say yes to God even before we know the full plan. It’s a response to a simple but profound truth, that trust in God built on knowing His character and who He is.
God has revealed Himself to us. If He is who He says He is – He is with us, never leaves or forsakes us, He is Almighty, the great I AM, the God who has given us victory – then we can obey Him knowing His character is trustworthy. We can follow where He leads, act upon His word, and trust that our lives are held safe in His hands.
This song was written as an invitation to anchor our faith not in our experience or understanding, but in the unchanging character and nature of God. That whatever He calls us to, in every season and every circumstance, we know: the God who goes before us is faithful to finish what He started.

The Princess of Christian punk, Grace Graber, is back with original song “Jericho,” a pull-no-punches declaration of confident identity co-written with Josiah Prince (Disciple). The song is also going for adds at rock and CHR radio.
“It’s my confident anthem, a response to the Enemy,” Grace explains. “It’s saying, this is my thing. You can hate it if you want to. You can walk around my dreams like Jericho, but they’re not going to fall. This is my authority and empowerment song where I name that there’s been a ton that’s come against me. Sometimes, it feels like every day something is coming against me: a trial, or something I have to learn. But with ‘Jericho,’ I’m saying this can come against me, but I’m going to get up anyways. I’ll fall, I’ll trip, but at the end of the day, I’m always going to get up. I’m always going to try again.”
Grace Graber and Josiah Prince wrote the song together a few years ago, when Grace was still deep in the grind of establishing an unshakable sense of identity in her artistry and her calling. The breakthrough sense of spiritual authority found in “Jericho” is the place from which Grace has seen a breathtaking rise in her music and ministry, through original songs and her viral PUNK X PRAISE collection. She now also hosts a podcast about mental health with K-LOVE, and her punk cover of Brandon Lake’s “Gratitude” spent months in the top 25 at CHR radio.
But that kind of rise only happens through first being grounded in the fierce determination that “Jericho” represents. That true sense of calling has drawn collaborators and listeners alongside Grace Graber, their lives shaped by her own radical commitment to her identity in Christ.
Andrew Kojo mixed and mastered the song, which is the first taste of new original music from Grace following PUNK X PRAISE. More new music are due by the end of the year as the songstress takes on bigger and bigger stages, including a recent appearance at Uprise Festival.
Her unparalleled commitment to who she knows she was meant to be continues to drive all of it forward, fueled by a growing army of people who can’t help but pay attention.
“‘Jericho’ is part of my coming of age story,” Grace reflects. “It’s hard when you’re always the one trying to figure things out alone, over and over and over again, which is why it’s a relief when people are on your team and do help. So this is my confidence anthem. I hope that anyone who listens to it can claim it as their confidence anthem too, to stand strong in who they were created to be.”
Contemporary Christian artist and songwriter Allan Scott has officially released his new single, “Foxhole Prayers,” available today across all major digital music and streaming platforms via Dream Records.
Foxhole Prayers – Allan Scott

Driven by passionate acoustic and driving pop rhythms, “Foxhole Prayers” stands as a raw, honest outcry from the depths of human struggle. The song paints a vivid picture of individuals at their breaking point — reaching for the bottle, leaving behind love, and confronting the weight of shame. Yet, in those desperate moments, when strength is depleted and all hope seems lost, the track delivers a resounding declaration: there is a God who hears and answers the midnight SOS of every hurting soul.
“A foxhole was a small pit dug into the ground to give soldiers cover from enemy fire during WWII. And in those desperate moments, many soldiers would cry out to God with a simple, last-minute prayer: “Help.” I think “help” is one of the most powerful prayers we can pray.
When you’re desperate, when you’ve run out of answers, when you don’t see a way out — Jesus loves to meet us there and show us just how strong He is. Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” I’ve been an addict.
I’ve been the broken one. I’ve prayed my own desperate prayers. And I know that Jesus hears us when we cry out to Him. I wrote “Foxhole Prayers” for anyone who has ever whispered “help,” sent out an SOS, or wondered if God could hear them from where they are. He sees you. He hears you. And He is more than able to save. Even in the most broken places.” – Allan Scott
Christian pop/rock artist and songwriter Josh Grove releases “I’m Done Running,” a bright, forward-moving single that reframes slowing down as an act of faith. Available now through Syntax Creative, the song meets the pressure of an always-moving world with a simple response: step away from the noise, return to prayer and make room for God’s presence.
I’m Done Running – Josh Grovev

The idea grew out of a season Grove knew firsthand. Balancing school, work and other responsibilities, he found himself needing the same reminder the song now gives listeners: pace can become distraction, and busyness can quietly crowd out time with God. Rooted in Psalm 46:10 and Matthew 11:28-30, “I’m Done Running” moves from restless momentum toward surrender, trust and the peace found in Jesus.
“This project came to me during a really busy time in my life. Between school, work, and other activities, it can be easy to get caught up in everything going on and forget to slow down. Especially with school starting back up, life can feel almost nonstop sometimes. This song came from a reminder I needed for myself: to make time each day to slow down, step away from the busyness, and spend time with God,” Grove said.
Produced by Eric Haley and written by Grove, the track pairs an upbeat Christian pop setting with lyrics about breaking old patterns, rejecting fear and returning to a posture of surrender. The recurring line “I’m so done running” becomes less a statement of exhaustion than a decision to stop striving on his own and place everything back in God’s hands.
“I’m Done Running” continues a year of stylistic range for Grove. His February collaboration “Rain or Shine (feat. KJ-52)” reached No. 1 on the Christian Music Weekly CHH/Rhythmic chart, while subsequent 2026 releases “New Life,” “Hope” and “Trust (Psalm 13)” moved through rock, Christian pop and worship territory. His earlier songs have also earned recognition from songwriting competitions and national Christian radio programming.
The new single also arrives as Grove continues to grow as a worship leader and songwriter. Away from the studio, he serves in worship and children’s ministry at his local church, keeping the ministry behind the music central to his development as an artist.
Victory House Worship, the worship ministry of Victory Church in Atlanta, Georgia, releases its newest single, “Returning,” a declaration of longing, expectation, and hope centered on the promised return of Jesus Christ.
Following the release of “Rapha”, a song declaring that God is still a healer, Victory House Worship turns its attention toward one of the central hopes of the Christian faith: Jesus is coming again.
Returning – Victory House Worship
Stream & Enjoy
Built around the imagery of Scripture, “Returning” captures the anticipation of creation, the expectancy of the Church, and the promised moment when Christ returns as King:
The earth is groaning for redemption
Creation reaches for her King
The heavens watch with expectation
For Him who was and is
And is returning
The song draws from biblical images woven throughout Revelation, Matthew, and Romans — creation groaning for redemption, the Church preparing as a bride, lamps burning in expectation, the trumpet sounding, and every tongue confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord.
For Victory House Worship, the song was born out of a year-long sermon series as Victory Church walked line by line through the book of Revelation. At its core, “Returning” is the Church’s response to the anticipation of the day Christ returns.
“The longer I write music for our church, the more I realize that writing songs our church loves to sing is more about listening than writing — listening to what our church is saying, teaching, praying, and believing,” says Sean Hill, producer and songwriter with Victory House Worship. “The best thing I can do is put a melody to what our church is already longing to sing. ‘Returning’ is the result of that kind of listening. After walking through the book of Revelation for a year as a church, this song became our natural response to what we saw and learned in Scripture.”
That response finds its simplest expression in the chorus:
Come, Jesus come
Let heaven open wide
As glory floods the skies
Come, Jesus come
With fire in Your eyes
Returning for Your bride
As the song builds, “Returning” moves from anticipation to declaration, contrasting Christ’s first coming with the glory of His promised return:
Though You came as a Lamb
You’ll return as a Lion
Though You came to be slain You’ll return slaying giants
When those words first filled the sanctuaries across Victory’s Atlanta campuses, the response was immediate. Having spent the previous year journeying together through Revelation, the congregation erupted in worship, and Victory House Worship knew the song had found a home in the voice of their church.
The bridge then widens the picture, moving from the Church to the whole earth responding to the returning King:
Every knee has to bow
At the weight of Your glory
Every tongue will cry out
And confess You are worthy
Victory Church is home to people from more than 140 nations, a reality that gives particular weight to the biblical picture of Christ’s return. Revelation describes a multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before the throne and before the Lamb — a passage that has long served as an anchor for Victory House Worship.
“Returning” culminates with a final cry from the Church to her King:
King of kings, Lord of lords
Shake the earth with Your coming
Take Your throne, take Your place
We await Your returning
Rather than presenting the return of Christ as something distant or abstract, Victory House Worship hopes “Returning” restores the return of Jesus to the vocabulary of worship and reminds believers of the hope that has sustained the Church for generations.
Set For The Fall return today with their eagerly awaited new album, I Said What I Said, available everywhere now via their new partnership with Vere Music, the innovative Nashville-based marketing and label services enterprise with global distribution from Warner Music Group’s independent distribution arm, ADA.

The North Carolina-based hard rock band’s third studio LP and first full-length release in over seven years, I Said What I Said includes the album-opening mission statement, “Product of Pressure (feat. TJ Harris of Decyfer Down),” available everywhere now. Produced by Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Madball, Brantley Gilbert), the previously released original version of the track has now been amplified with additional vocals from Harris – a longtime friend of the band and frontman for GRAMMY® Award-nominated rock band Decyfer Down – as well as newly remixed by Set For The Fall’s own drummer Dylan McLain.

“We kind of looked at each other after we first recorded ‘Product of Pressure’ and said, if we’re going to do this, we’ve got to do things completely different,” says guitarist Donovan Roybal. “If we’re going to take this seriously, we’ve got to take it seriously. From that moment we were all 100% gung ho. It was a huge mind shift.”
“Product of Pressure” is “the story of us trying to put our stamp on the rock scene,” says guitarist Harrison Muffley (who also plays guitar in Decyfer Down). “We weren’t there for a while, but now we’re back. It’s like how a diamond is created – you get beat down and then hopefully you can turn that pain into something beautiful. That’s the story of Set For The Fall. Even our name, it’s all about being prepared for the worst. You’re going to fall, that’s life. It’s about how you get back up after that.
“Dylan did a new mix for the album and it sounds 50 times better than it did before. It’s insane, the amount of punch he put into it, it’s like night and day difference on how much better it is. And we added TJ’s vocals on it, it’s slamming.”
Set For The Fall – Joey Lassiter (vocals), Harrison Muffley (guitar), Donovan Roybal (guitar) and Dylan McLain (drums) – have earned ecstatic praise for their inspirational and intense sonic assault, with heavily cranked guitars, full-bore vocals, and towering melodies that straddle the divide between pure metal and mainstream hard rock icons like Creed, Staind, Seether, and Sevendust. Recorded over four years with such top producers and songwriters as Baylis, Evan McKeever (Motionless In White, Koe Wetzel, Miranda Lambert), Curtis Martin (Attila, Catch Your Breath, Kami Kehoe), Buster Odeholm (Humanity’s Last Breath, Thrown, Vildhjarta), and Chris Linck (Atilla, Ekoh), with McClain providing additional production and mixing. I Said What I Said now marks the band’s most accomplished, fully-realized, and accessible release to date, a darkly personal work of unusual potency examining the difficulties of the human condition while always offering the hope and possibility of something more. Songs like “Face It” and “Another Life” – the latter mastered by legendary engineer Ted Jensen (Green Day, Alice In Chains, The Eagles) – represent the optimum balance of the band’s melodic and aggressive sides, lighting upon such universal themes as anger and anxiety, love and loss, rejection and restoration, all conveyed though an ingenious maelstrom of buzzsaw riffs, anthemic hooks, and crushing dynamics. Now boasting over 50K monthly listeners on Spotify, Set For The Fall have won over live audiences with recent shows alongside such like-minded acts as Skillet, Behold The Beloved, Relentless Flood, and others. The culmination of almost a half-decade’s backbreaking work and artistic effort, I Said What I Said now fixes a new standard for Set For The Fall, its potent message expertly matching the band’s musical muscle, conveying both often unbearable hurt and a heartfelt longing for transcendence.
“A lot of sucky things have happened to us,” says Roybal, “but sucky things happen to everybody. It’s not like we’re talking about weird niche stuff, the emotions are universal.”
“Sometimes stuff happens to you that you can’t control,” says Muffley. “The only thing you can control is your own mind and your own faith and your own resolve. Even though I’ve been through all this stuff, even though my mom died, even though my best friend stabbed me in the back, even though we don’t play as many shows as we’d like because we’re busy with our families and such, the shows we do play and the music we’re making is better than anything we’ve done before. Maybe the four of us can’t really control what happens, but we can have a say in it.”
