Orphan No More, a UK-based worship music collective, releases a live video for “Grateful Response,” which can be viewed below. The track is featured on the group’s latest release, Death Died, which dropped last week (Apr 2).
An honest and contemplative confession of faith and doubt, Death Died is interwoven with the challenging and freeing narrative of the life of the Rabbi Jesus. Written in the wake of loss and recorded during the height of lockdown and isolation, the project reaches out from the depths of the human experience into the scarred hands of divine love and acceptance.
As a community, Orphan No More has had a burning desire to get back to simplicity, to savor the beauty of the Gospel that is the good news of Jesus. In a year marked with isolation and loss, the need for simplicity in a world of chaos has become more transparent than ever. With the songs found on Death Died, which were written and produced by the Orphan No More Co and mixed by Will Reagan (United Pursuit), they’ve created an unfiltered reflection of the heart of their community, defined by love.

Seattle’s Canyon Hills Worship is proud to release its newest track “See Your Face” on DREAM Worship. Written by Brandon Coker, Michael Monroe, Koby Orr, Lauren Lee and Adam Courtney, the group’s new track is a joyful reminder of our desire as believers to desire God.
“When we sat down to write this song in Baptist church basement in Atlanta, we wanted to capture the longing that we, as Christians, should have for heaven. We need to take our eyes off of the temporary and fix them on the eternal. All of this chaos is temporary… we have an eternal hope to look forward to. We should be constantly looking forward to the day when we get to see Jesus face to face.” —Michael Monroe (CHW)

Flourish Music announces the release of their debut single, “For My Good,” written by Spencer Roth, Tyler Daniel, Jonathan Hunt, Josh Reynolds and Michael Guillot, who also produced it. In addition to this single, Flourish Music will be releasing two additional singles this summer, “Crown Him” on May 14 and “Majestic” on June 18.
Flourish Music is a collective of like-minded worship leaders and songwriters who are equipping the local church with meaningful and creative Gospel-centered songs. The unique artists making up Flourish Music gather collectively to write and produce music that is meant to be sung by the local church and also stands out in the modern worship music genre.
Flourish exists because this world is starved for beauty and often drowning in isolation. They love to come alongside artists and encourage them to create beauty through their art. They also desire to see artists collaborate together and use their art as a blessing for others. Communities are better when artists thrive; and artists are better when they create in community. Flourish wants to see both of these things happen.
“For My Good” was written as a response to Romans 8:37-39 where Paul reminds us that there is nothing that will separate us from the love of God in Christ: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
This song is a present-day reminder that God is working all things for good and for His glory — which is ultimately for our good. This anthem ends with a declaration that says: “I will not grow weary / You are always with me / You are good”
Tyler Daniel, Co-writer and Worship Leader at The Well, shared that when he led “For My Good” at his church, “It reminds people of God’s deep love for us in Christ. The declaration in Romans that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ includes our anxieties, our weakness and impatience, but it doesn’t stop there. Not only are we loved, chosen and forgiven, but the old us is gone and it is now Christ who lives in us by the power of the Spirit!”
Jordan Elder, Pastor of Redeemer Round Rock, said, “In this pandemic-plagued, racially divided, politicized time many people are weary. As a pastor, I have battled weariness in my own life during this season. ‘For My Good’ has been a song that God has used to anchor my soul and stir my heart with the truth that ‘nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Romans 8). Sing this song because it’s true, and truth sets you free.”
Flourish Music hopes that “For My Good” is a song that the church can sing and cling onto in this day and age when the world feels like it is spinning out of control. They hope the memorable melody and needed gospel truth resonates with church families and reminds them that God is working for our good, even when it may not feel like it.
Illinois-based band Bringing Home is releasing a new single today. “Waiting,” written by bandmates Amber Russell and Jared Russell, is available at all online retail outlets. Jared Russell also produced the single.
The Russells, who live in the small southern Illinois town of Norris City, formed Bringing Home in 2012. The band’s name, explains Amber Russell, is derived from Peter’s words in 1 Peter.
“Our eternal home is waiting for us and we are just passing through this world,” she says. “Heaven is a place where we will never know pain again, the loss of a loved one, or the hurt of a broken heart. It is a place that will forever contain hope and peace, qualities that, unfortunately, our world lacks. There is chaos on every corner and we weren’t meant to live like this.”
“This world is in desperate need of a Savior and a hope and that’s what Bringing Home is all about,” says Jared Russell, the band’s lead singer. “The music of Bringing Home speaks of God’s forgiveness and His willingness to uplift you above all of your struggles.
“God can take what we have written and make it go so much further than we could ever take it,” he adds. “It is only through Him that we are able to do this.”
