Lyrics: There is a king seated among us Let every heart receive Him now Where there is praise He will inhabit There will be grace and mercy all around
Every burden will be lifted in His presence And Every trophy Will be laid down at His feet There is a name that reigns above all others Jesus Christ the king above all kings
Unto the Lamb honor and glory Worthy is He who overcame Buried in shame risen in power He is alive and the stone is rolled away
All our worship will belong to Him forever Death is conquered And our Savior holds the keys There is a name that reigns above all others Jesus Christ the king above all kings
It won’t be long we will behold Him And every tear He’ll wipe away We’ll be at home the war will be over Soon we will meet our Savior face to face
All our worship will belong to You forever Holy holy for all eternity Yours is the name that reigns above all others Jesus Christ the king above all kings Jesus Christ the king above all kings
What would you do If He walked into the room
There Is A King Written by Steven Furtick, Tiffany Hammer, Brandon Lake

Watch TOGETHER (feat. Kirk Franklin and Tori Kelly)
Lyrics: [For King & Country:] This is for the busted heart This is for the question marks This is for the outcast soul Lost control, no one knows
Sing it for the can’t go back Sing it for the broken past Sing it for the just found out Life is now upside down
If you’re looking for hope tonight Raise your hand If you’re feeling alone And don’t understand If you’re fighting In the fight of your life Then stand We’re gonna make it through this Hand in hand
If we fall We will fall together, together
[Tori Kelly:] This is for the second chance This is for the new romance Sing it for the loved in vain Overcame, it’s not too late
[For King & Country and Tori Kelly:] If you’re looking for hope tonight Raise your hand If you’re feeling alone And don’t understand If you’re fighting In the fight of your life Then stand We’re gonna make it through this Hand in hand
If we fall We will fall together, together When we rise We will rise together, together, oh We will rise together
[Kirk Franklin w/ Choir:] Listen If you’re looking for hope tonight And you’re all alone If you’re feeling alone tonight Can you feel If you’re in the fight of your life I can promise We’re gonna make it hand in hand
I will be by your side By your side Cause love is in the air tonight Can you feel it Come up and see the light Whenever and wherever Just as long as we’re together, say
[For King & Country, Tori Kelly, & Kirk Franklin w/ Choir:] If we fall We will fall together I got you my brother, together I see you my sister When we rise We will rise together, together Help me say
If we fall We will fall together Take my hand, together Help me stand When we rise We will rise together, together
[For King & Country:] Together we are dangerous Together with our differences Together we are bolder Braver, stronger
LYRICS: Verse: There’s a lovesick longing inside my soul There’s a desperate hunger That won’t let me go
Chorus: No you cannot deny it A heart that is desperate Only You satisfy it A heart that is desperate
Bridge: There’s no lovesick You can’t heal There’s no desperate You won’t fill I am falling deeper still for You
About Housefires

Barrett and Kaple were joined by fellow Atlanta worship leader Tony Brown, and Grace Athens worship pastor Nate Moore. Additional members included violinist Vicki Schmidt, keyboardist Jonathan Jay, percussionist, Zac Brooks, and drummer Harold Brown. In 2016, the band also participated in the Outcry Tour, and continued touring independently in 2017. They often host monthly worship nights at Grace Midtown’s campus. In February 01, 2020, Donald Hart joined Housefires as their bassist.
The band has released four live albums. Their eponymous debut was released on March 19, 2014, with most songs reappearing in more polished form on Housefires II, released September 9, 2014. Housefires III followed on August 12, 2016, and their most recent album, We Say Yes, was released in mid-2017. The group is best known for Barrett and Brown’s “Good Good Father,” which attained massive popularity after Chris Tomlin recorded the song and released it as a single. Their album, Housefires III, charted on three Billboard magazine charts, The Billboard 200 at No. 106, Christian Albums at No. 3, and Independent Albums at No. 6. It also charted on the Official Charts Company from the United Kingdom on their Official Christian & Gospel Albums Chart, at No. 2.

Esther Chungu, a Zambian gospel singer, has released an all-new single “Chikangabwe” – Undefeated One.
Esther shared the inspiration behind the song saying;
“About 3 years ago, I got the opportunity to visit Chengelo Trust school In Lusaka, Zambia. I got to hold a one day music workshop in partnership with the school administration and Pastor Mangaliso of Mount Zion Church Zambia.
At the end of my class, I asked for my students for the day to do a practical and create a song with me from scratch. My students and I come up with our project and we immediately fell in love with it. I then assured them that I would add it to my next album.
But I fell so I love with it I could not wait for the album release I had to release it as a single first”.
The name of the student group featured on the track is ‘412’ derived from the scripture 1 Timothy 4:12 which says “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
See the Lord has been so good to me I cannot explain it (x2) Indescribable, Uncontainable I cannot explain it (x2) He loves me and cares for me I cannot explain it (x2)
(Pre-Chorus) All mighty All powerful All loving, Lord You are All mighty All powerful We call You!
(Chorus) Chikangabwe (Undefeated one) You make a way Chikangabwe (Undefeated one) Lord You make me say Ayayayayaya ayayaya Chikangabwe (Undefeated one)
(Verse 2) See how the Lord’s been good to me I cannot explain it (x2) He died for me, Rose again for me I cannot explain it (x2) All powerful supernatural I cannot explain it (x2)
