Gospel music minister Fait Favourcomes with the live video of “Holy Fire,” one of the singles off her last released EP titled “At Your Feet.“
The song “Holy Fire” is a beckon of a child unto his Father. It is an expression of hope. It is a supplication which admits man’s fallibility and God’s supremacy, that when the Spirit comes with the fire, we are quickened. Holy Fire is also a cry of intercession and blessing to humanity.
“Stoke those flames and get on fire for God to win souls. Get on fire for God to get that scholarship, to achieve greatness. Get on fire for God to remain in Holiness… Holy Fire burn me till I do! May your Joy never end as you burn for God… Amen.” – Fait Favour
Worship music minister, Jonathan Kome is out with a brand new sound titled “Names Above All Names”.
Speaking on his new song, Kome explains that ‘Name Above All Names’ is more than a song but also a declaration of the one true God who reigns forever.
He is still the Great One of Ages past and still the same God of today. Here is a song brought to the world as a reminder of the price He paid for us all to rule over the ideologies, patterns and principles of darkness being brought to the world at the time we find ourselves in.
It is clear that the world has tried so hard to prove Him false but we know that nothing can contend with the sovereignty of our God. My prayer is that as we listen and worship with this song, we remember the victory we have in and through Him alone because truly it is in Him we were made more than conquerors.
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” [Philippians 2:9-11 NKJV]

The Fourth Man By Mr. M & Revelation Ft. Peterson Okopi
You’re the fourth man in the furnace You are he who walked on waters Oh lord my god your name be praised King king (igwe, igwe) Oh lord my god your name be praised
You’re the fourth man in the furnace You’re he who walked on my waters Oh lord my god Your name be praised
You are the fourth man in my furnace And that furnace became an air conditioner Oh lord my god your name is praised King king (igwe, igwe) Oh lord my god your name be praised
You walk on the sea God of the host of heavens Oh lord my god your name be praised
You divided the sea And the waters stood side by side The god of all flesh that’s who i call you You swallowed what swallowed the elephant And has the lion in his mouth He who smashed thorns The good god who does good Your name is king King king He who fetched water with a basket With our hands lifted up We declare that you are king Oh lord my god your name be praised
The great storm He who fetched water with a basket Your name be praised The animal shot and is still eating Your name be praised The great storm The great storm the wind obeys Your name be praised We hail your name God of all creation We hail your name Beautiful for all situation We hail your name Our joy giver Our peace in the midst of the storm We hail your name Where will i begin to praise you From start or finish There’s a word you put in my mouth Words of gratitude Words of thanksgiving Words of appreciation
Oh lord my god your name be praised
The god that gives a new song And the right way to sing it.
When they gather against me you reveal to me It’s so wonderful to know That my concern is your concern It gives me joy I give you all the praise Oh lord my god your name be praised
Sandra McCracken is gearing up to release new music with first new single ‘I Will Sing’. Written with singer-songwriter Leslie Jordan, this song is based on the poetry of Psalm 89. ‘I Will Sing’ went through many revisions as the artists were crafting it, reflecting the pattern of the refrain of God’s goodness which is not always distinct or obvious at first, but becomes clearer as one keeps singing about it.
Sandra McCracken shares her hopes for this release to get stuck in heads and hearts alike, “I hope it will help people give voice to praise in all seasons,” she says.
The Nashville-based singer-songwriter stamps ‘I Will Sing’ with her signature warm Americana and unmistakable vocals, and through and through, Sandra McCracken reveals that she is a musician by craft, trade, and gifting, but ultimately, she is a storyteller at heart.
‘I Will Sing’ highlights the seasoned artist’s ability to translate age-old Psalms into present-day poetry and timeless melodies. Recorded live in Laity Lodge, the new single is adorned with a beautiful underlying rhythm held by a double bass and stripped back drums as well as the resonance of a grand piano infusing jazz tones into the tune. ‘I Will Sing’ is marked by thankfulness for the Lord’s faithfulness, giving the Church a new authentic folky song to praise and worship God.
“Where Would I Be?” was written by Ryan Ofei, Demond Reed, Grace Marr, Brandon Lake, Aaron Moses & Dante Bowe. It is from Tribl Records’ newest album, ‘Tribl Nights Anthologies’ released April 29th, 2022.

Beautiful Name, the 2018 collection of beloved hymns and worship songs from Platinum-selling, GRAMMY-nominated trio Point of Grace, is now available on digital platforms for the first time. Originally released by LifeWay Worship, the May 6 Curb | Word Entertainment reissue features 11 tracks and is highlighted by the new selection “Rest In You.”
Penned by Scott Krippayne, Tony Wood and Cindy Morgan, “Rest In You” was produced by Morgan and is a gentle pop ballad reminding listeners that Christ is our respite when the storms of life rage. “The past few years have been very challenging for most of us, as we’ve experienced enormous loss and uncertainty,” shares Point of Grace’s Leigh Cappillino. “Even in the chaos of the world around us and the chaos encamping our own hearts, we can be assured God is in control. We may not always be able to see with our own eyes, but we can ‘rest’ in His sovereignty.”
The 10 foundational selections comprising Beautiful Name were produced and arranged by Kent Hooper and Phillip Keveren and include the cherished hymns “All Creatures of Our God and King,” “Holy, Holy, Holy” and “Blessed Assurance,” among others. The album also features such worship classics as the Twila Paris-penned “How Beautiful”; the title-track and Point of Grace concert favorite “What A Beautiful Name”; and renowned modern hymn “In Christ Alone,” by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend.
“We are beyond thrilled for Beautiful Name to now be available everywhere,” says Point of Grace’s Shelley Breen. “Growing up singing many of these songs, we were excited and inspired to record them in a fresh new way. We hope the truths contained in the lyrics will be a welcome source of peace for anyone struggling or needing encouragement in this season.”
Point of Grace’s soaring melodies and rich harmonies have helped define the sound of contemporary Christian music for nearly three decades. With total sales in excess of 8 million units, the group has garnered two Platinum records; three GRAMMY nominations; 27 #1 singles and numerous Dove Awards.
Inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2018, Point of Grace has released 10 best-selling studio recordings, four Christmas albums and such Christian radio standards as “How You Live (Turn Up The Music),” “Keep the Candle Burning,” “Circle of Friends” and “Jesus Will Still Be There.” Comprised of Shelley Breen, Denise Jones and Leigh Cappillino, Point of Grace founded the groundbreaking Girls of Grace conference; they appear regularly on the historic Grand Ole Opry stage; and they have authored multiple books, including 2020’s How You Live: Lessons Learned from Point of Grace.
Alternative, independent DIY artist Alex Henry Foster releases his “The Power of the Heart” Lou Reed cover to critical acclaim. Available now at digital and streaming outlets everywhere from Hopeful Tragedy Records, there is also a four-minute radio-ready mix and an eight-minute-27-second version of “The Power of the Heart” included with the single. There is further a lathe-cut vinyl, silkscreen-printed version that will be available May 20 and will likely sell out within hours of its release.
“Rediscover Lou Reed’s song ‘The Power of the Heart,’ revisited by Alex Henry Foster…a dreamlike and intense cover…” lauds Rolling Stone (FR), as Louder calls the track “a stunning emotional tour-de-force” and “essential listening.” Visions (DE) believes that Foster’s interpretation of the song “is more accessible, but with a sense of drama and always the same touching depth as Reed’s original” while Soundvaporssays, “Out front is the soothing and distinctive voice of Alex Henry Foster. Standing behind him is the superb and powerful music. Together these two forces combine to give the listener an almost ethereal experience.”
Numerous Spotify playlists have also welcomed the release of “The Power of the Heart.” The Eh! List — by Exclaim! (“The best new songs from Canadian artists”), Indie Chill, Folk//Indie and many more have added the single. The Shoegaze/Dream-pop Flavor playlist curator says, “There’s this smooth and starry skies to the instrumentals that just pulls me in. All the noise here is just beautiful, it’s heartwarming, it’s familiar.”
Following the acclaim and playlist adds, Foster is set to release his “The Power of the Heart” concept music video May 22 along with a live performance of the song. More details on this livestream event can be found at https://alexhenryfoster.com/the-power-of-the-heart-landing-page/.
Perhaps Reed’s most underrated song, “The Power of the Heart” was also a favorite of creative pioneer Laurie Anderson who was his longtime partner and wife until his death in 2013. Foster, who brings his own signature, dense sonic texture to the song, recorded “The Power of the Heart” in part at his Virginia studio, where he currently resides, along with a grandiose orchestration captured live in his Quebec-based The Upper Room Studio.
“I’ve been a fan of Lou Reed’s music ever since I found that strange-sounding LP titled Transformer in the prime section of my father’s vinyl collection when I was a kid,” shares Foster. “It took me years, streaming into the bleakest turbulences of my own inner voyage, to envision the prospect of making a monument of sincerity such as ‘The Power of the Heart’ mine.”
Last month, Foster and his band worldwide livestreamed all new music during the Live From Echo Mountain Studio event from Foster’s studio in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The event benefited Music Saves UA and featured the song “All the Violence in the World,” which was offered as part of a direct-to-vinyl lathe-cut, collectors limited edition LP of the livestream to Foster’s SFCC The Club members. These vinyl LP’s sold out in less than three hours after being offered.
Playing the new music and fan favorites while on tour, Alex Henry Foster & The Long Shadows return to Europe for a 27-city, 10-country Not All Wonders Have Been Losttour, including select encore appearances in markets played in 2021.
