Praise & Worship recording artist, Benita Jones (formerly Benita Washington), has a testimony to share. Last week, the car that she and her manager, Jarita Jackson, were riding in was broadsided by a teenager.
The impact was so strong that the car literally flipped over and was totaled. “Benita recently wanted to start learning the piano,” Jackson says. “We were on our way back from going to a music store to buy a keyboard and the car was t-boned. We literally crawled out of the car and we were helped by some bystanders. The miracle is that no one involved was badly injured – not even the other driver. We had some bumps and bruises. We went to the hospital to get checked out, but God was merciful and everyone will be fine. ”
This past summer, Jones released her first album in a decade, The Entreating (Tyscot / Integrity), a live concert session. The pulsating, high-energy gospel radio single, “Good God,” peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Gospel Digital Song Sales chart earlier this year. Jones is now entering the autumn season with a new soul-stirring gospel radio single, “Still Everything.” Fans can listen to the full project at this link: https://benita.lnk.to/TheEntreating
Broken Things (Official Live Video) – Benita Jones off Pastor Benita Jones 12-Tracked-live album Titled The Entreating (Integrity Music/Tyscot Records).
Sauced with spontaneous moments of honest, vulnerable worship, The Entreating, Jones’ first live album, contains many standout tracks including the intimate ballad “Still Everything,” the energetic and soon to be congregational favorite “Joy,” “A Better Word” (available now), and a remake of Leeland and Sinach’s worship hit “Way Maker.”
It’s a live worship experience that reaches far beyond the Gospel community with a timely message we all need to be reminded of: God is Good, no matter what you’re facing.

WATCH – Still Everything – Benita Jones (Official Live Video)
Lyrics: It may not seem like it right now but He’s still faithful It may not look like it right now but He’s still good It may not seem like victory but oh just wait and see What He’s gonna do Watch what He’s gonna do
His glory is the same here in the wilderness As it is on any mountaintop where I have been So in spite of what I’m facing now, my soul will sing Hallelujah He’s still everything
Though right now there’s not much beauty in these ashes Making something out of nothing is what He does He just speaks and miracles begin to happen And the story that He writes can’t be undone
No hard place will ever silence my praise Cause it’s right here where He makes His glory shine the brightest
Song: Still Everything Artist: Benita Jones Album: The Entreating
Writers: Benita Jones, Michael Farren, Ernest Vaughan
Veteran worship and praise leader Benita Jones offers official video of her song “Good God” off her eagerly awaited 4th album The Entreating.
This high-energy live performance is infectiously singable and catchy. It blends the fervor of a rock song with the passionately relentless drive of a Pentecostal vamp – with Jones’ colorful, explosive vocals at the center.
“It’s just a fun energetic song proclaiming the goodness of God,” Jones says in bubbly enthusiasm. “We talk about how He is the mender of the broken hearted. How He’s our healer when we’re torn apart. We call Him Father, Savior, Redeemer. We just put the big exclamation point on it of `Good God’ because He’s a good God in every situation.”
Jamel Kimbrough, known for his work with Todd Dulaney and Bri Babineaux, gives the production the extra sophisticated polish to elevate it above the average praise and worship offerings.
Lyrics: You are the healer of the brokenhearted You are the mender when we’re torn apart You are the light that brightens up the darkness We see clearly who You are
Good God Good God You’re a good God
You’re not afraid of all the fears that shake me You fought the battle and gave me the win You hold my future so my past can’t break me I’m so glad I’m in Your hands
It’s Your love alone that leaves me speechless I still remember when You called my name Far beyond the guilt and shame it reaches I know I’ll never be the same
You’re a good God Good God
Father, Healer, Redeemer Good God Creator, Savior, Defender Good God
You never change You’ve always been You’ll always be Good God

Joining forces with renowned songstress Benita Jones, JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise pulled a stunner on the Miracle Worker Album’s fourth track “Have Your Way”.
