The challenges we go through reveal different aspects of God to us. Most of the names we call God today we’re chronicled by individuals who had experienced God’s help at different levels of their lives.
Minister Preye Odede had one of such experiences which you can consider a life defining moment when he was wrongly diagnosed for a medical condition that traumatized him for a long period but God in His sovereignty revealed himself as Yahweh and healed him.
Yahweh, a distinct name God is called which showcases his power and authority as the all sufficient and powerful one with whom there is no comparison.
Minister Preye Odede’s experience during these harrowing times gave birth to this song he is sharing with the world called “Yahweh (this is you)”. The song carefully captures the ways God comes through for us in various situations as we look back appreciation, we can truly say “Yahweh this is you”. Indeed God worked always behind the scenes to make an open show of his goodness in our lives.

This powerful and touching song, produced by Andy Baker and released under the Homegrown Worship label, showcases Boles’ extraordinary talent as both a singer and a songwriter.
“Unborn” is a poignant and thought-provoking song that narrates life from the perspective of a child not yet born.

Nigerian gospel music singer Princewill Agbazue has returned with a new single titled “My Matter,” following his success with “Victory is Mine” and Eagles.
“My matter” is a song of introspection and recognition that God is all we have, that he is merciful to us, that his grace is sufficient, and that he is always there when we need him. He deserves all of our adoration and gratitude because he has accomplished so much more than we could have ever imagined.
Nigerian singer-songwriter, producer, recording artist, and stage performer Princewill Agbazue was born and raised in Lagos state, but he is a native of Anambra state. He is a bright example of the young Nigerian musicians that God is using to change the gospel music landscape.

2024 ushers in a significant milestone for one of the world’s most beloved hymns, “How Great Thou Art.” Marking the 75th anniversary of this cherished song written by Stuart K. Hine, a group of award-winning artists came together to celebrate and record a version.
This special collaboration unites the voices of many of today’s top artists, featuring Chris Tomlin, Hillary Scott, Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, Matt Redman, Naomi Raine, Blessing Offor, Jon Reddick, TAYA, Brian and Jenn Johnson, Matt Maher, Pat Barrett, Benjamin William Hastings, Ryan Ellis and Mitch Wong.
Commissioned by the Stuart Hine Trust, Matt Redman and Mitch Wong crafted the new verse, offering a strikingly powerful addition to the timeless hymn while hoping to stir souls and bring critical help to those in need.
“In the lyrics, we wanted to acknowledge the ‘broken, warring world’ we live in, but also to sing with hope and faith over that,” Matt Redman explains. “Worship isn’t meant to have an escapist mentality, where we ignore what’s going on around us in this fragile, fallen world. Instead, we can engage with these things, pray for, and acknowledge God’s ultimate kingdom rule and reign in the midst of them.”
Produced by Matt Maher and Steve Marcia, with the string arrangement by Tommee Profitt, “How Great Thou Art (Until That Day)” is administered by Integrity Music (internationally) and Capitol CMG (US).
The new recording was captured at Gold Pacific Studios in Los Angeles and the iconic RCA Studio B in Nashville, establishing a poignant connection to the legendary artist Elvis Presley. It was in 1966 when Presley himself recorded his GRAMMY Award-winning rendition of the song in the very same RCA studio.
Written by Hastings along with Lake, Cody Carnes, and Chris Davenport, the studio version of “Abandoned” was released on January 12 to high acclaim, marking it Hastings’ highest debut single to date with more than half a million streams since its release.
“This is a surrender song,” Hastings reveals about its theme. “It’s coming from the perspective of everything God has done for us and the ways in which He surrendered and modeled that for us. How would we not do the same?”

He adds, “At first listen, this song may come across like it’s about our abandon and sure, it is, but to me, it’s more about His. He who not only chose the cross but had ‘angels at His fingertips’ and chose to remain. Every second, deciding again not to give up but to persevere. To repeatedly pursue surrender, even at the hour of greatest agony. I can’t think of a more inspiring sentiment than this, and I guess that brings me back to why it may sound like a song about our abandon; Maybe that’s the only way to respond to His.”
This live recording of “Abandoned” was captured last fall while Hastings and Lake were touring together. He says, “I got to write this with some of my favorite people, and I’m honestly overwhelmed by all the excitement around it. I pray (like it has for me) it helps you articulate words that you didn’t know you had trapped inside, and ultimately inspires worship.”
“Completely, deeply, sold out sincerely, abandoned
I’m completely, freely, hands to the ceiling enamored
My one life endeavor
To match your surrender
To mirror not my will but yours
I’m completely, deeply, don’t care who sees me abandoned
Oh I surrender”
Additionally, Hastings partnered with Air1 Radio yesterday to exclusively premiere the live version. The network played the song at the top of every hour throughout the day.

As the home to many of today’s biggest artists, songs, and songwriters, Provident Entertainment/Sony Music continues to grow its roster by announcing the newest member to its family, Lizzie Morgan. With her first solo single out now, “Maybe The Miracle,” a music video accompanies the song and can be viewed below.
“Releasing ‘Maybe the Miracle’ holds a profound significance for me—it goes beyond being just a song; it stands as concrete evidence of God’s unwavering sovereignty and redemption,” Morgan shares. “This song is a testament that even in the midst of devastation, miracles can unfold, underscoring the truth that we are never forgotten. I am deeply grateful for the valuable lesson my Grandparents imparted—to always maintain faith in the unfailing commitment of God! My earnest prayer is that this song becomes a source of hope for the despairing, faith for the doubting, and light for those who find themselves unable to see a way out.”

Lizzie Morgan’s professional music career quickly launched in 2017 when she began singing background vocals for multi-GRAMMY Award winner Lauren Daigle. It was between tours that Morgan began honing in on her musical skills, performing with and writing for a variety of artists and projects including Matt Maher, Maverick City Music, Seasons Collective, Red Worship, and WILDER, a duo she formed with songwriter Stefan Cashwell. Their song, “Heaven’s Secrets,” achieved over 1M cumulative streams in its first year of release.
Yet it was growing up in Tennessee and being part of the church her grandparents started, Celebration of Life outside of Nashville, where Lizzie Morgan learned to sing and lead worship. Today, she continues to lead worship there while also splitting her time in San Jose, CA as part of the worship team at Redemption Church, the home of Red Worship.
“We are incredibly excited to begin this partnership with Lizzie Morgan, both on the label and publishing side,” shares Holly Zabka, President of Provident Entertainment. “We’re thrilled that the world gets to hear what she has been creating, and we can’t wait to hear more of Lizzie’s heart through these songs.”
Lizzie Morgan will be out on the road supporting her single and leading worship at multiple stops this spring.
Wilmington, D.E. — In 2016,The Northern Delaware Chapter, Inc. of the Gospel Music Workshop of America Recording Choir (NDC GMWA) released their debut album, GOD BE GLORIFIED, which earned them six Rhythm of Gospel Award nominations and two awards. Their powerful delivery and genuine praise have made way for them to sing for President Biden and recently at the celebration of life services for the late Wilmington District Councilman Ted Blount, the father of Delaware Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester.
In 2019, under the leadership of choirmaster Minister Wayne E. Carter, Sr. (The Maestro), the NDC GMWA Choir followed up with a hit radio single, “All Of My Help”. NDC GMWA is starting the new year stronger than ever with a hot new single, “More Than A Conqueror (Live),” that is fresh for Gospel radio and refreshingly empowering for listeners.
NDC GMWA Musical Director Pastor AJ Collier states, “The spirit of defeat and discouragement is rampant today. So many people feel hopeless and helpless. This song reminds believers that they have victory through Jesus Christ in every situation. When you are in Christ, and He is in you, victory is your portion.”
“More Than A Conqueror (Live)” features lead vocals by Kim Glass and A Jermaine Nixon. Nixon also served as producer for the song. The high-octane praise anthem is written by Brian Pittman.
“The sentiment of our new single gives to the believer that despite inconsistencies, struggles, and doubts, we have the assurance through Him that we can conquer anything,” says Wayne E. Carter, Sr. “The lyrics admonish us that we are victorious and triumphant regardless of what we see. More Than A Conqueror lifts and inspires my soul so I will not be defeated.”
“More Than A Conqueror (Live)” is taking off on Gospel radio and is now available on all digital music platforms. Their new single has already garnered the choir another six nominations for this year’s Rhythm Of Gospel Awards. The 2024 Rhythm Of Gospel Awards will occur on June 23, 2024, in Mobile, AL.
