Morning Worship: The Anthem – Planetshakers
From the Planet Shakers album All for Love, I love singing this song at my church and how words so few can have so much power:
Hallelujah
You have won the victory
Hallelujah
You have won it all for me…Death could not hold you down
You are the risen king
Seated in majesty
You are the risen King!
Inspiration: Britt Nicole Interview On How Her Singing Ministry Began and Song Walk on The Water
“If it’s God’s plan for your life it’s going to work out, you’re not gonna have to force it and make it happen and beg people to work with you or beg people to support you or believe in you…” – Britt Nicole
This video interview with Britt Nicole is from 2007 but I think it is awesome to see how she got started in her singing ministry and all that God has done through her obedience:
Some of my favorite parts of the interview:
- How Britt trusted God when she felt He was asking her to obey and stay home instead of going off to college, even if she didn’t see the way ahead.
- She shared the verse 1 Chronicles 28:20 that she was encouraged by: “And David said to his son Solomon:
“Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God—my God—will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.”
Britt Nicole’s song “Walk on The Water” from her latest album The Lost Get Found is great inspiration to anyone to have faith in God and take chances when following the dreams in their hearts:

From the Gateway Worship album God Be Praised.
O the blood
Crimson love
Price of life’s demand
Shameful sin
Placed on Him
The Hope of every man…
Inspiration: Standing On His Promises- Covenant Worship & The Sound Worship Conference with David & Nicole Binion
“We’re gonna see what we’re praying for,
We believe every single word;
Stronger then we’ve ever been,
Standing on His promises.
We’re gonna see the impossible,
We release the supernatural,
Stronger then we’ve ever been, we are standing on His promises!” – From the song “Standing”
“Standing” from Covenant Worship is featured on their latest album, Never Going Back, and recorded live at Covenant Church in Texas during The Sound Worship Conference 2010. The sound from this worship team powerfully invites Heaven on Earth; check out their previous worship album of that title as well you won’t regret it (though I may be a little biased since I attend Covenant:).
This June, David and Nicole Binion, worship pastors at Covenant Church, are hosting The Sound Worship Conference 2011 (and The Resound Conference for Youth) in the Dallas, TX area June 22nd – 25th. The conference for worshippers and worship leaders will feature artists and speakers Gungor, Deluge with Jonathan Stockstill, William McDowell, Calvin Nowell, Pastor Mike Hayes, Bishop Tudor Bismark and more. There is a conference fee for daytime sessions but the nighttime worship and services are free and open to the public; visit the conference website for more information: www.TheSoundWorshipConference.org
Editor’s Video Pick & Inspiration: Hold Me Video & EP from Jamie Grace
I’ve got the song “Hold Me” from Jamie Grace stuck in my head – it’s so upbeat, unique and catchy. For the past couple of weeks I’ve played it on repeat for the girls who I teach at church, to get them focused on their art projects (and to stop talking about Justin Bieber;) and they love listening to it too as they sing along and color. Glad they can appreciate great music…
TobyMac recently signed Jamie Grace to his label Gotee Records and her EP that was released in February is funky, soulful and creative – something I think anyone will enjoy. (You can preview the EP on her Facebook page here.) I got to see her in action at Women of Faith’s event for teens The Revolve Tour Dream On Garland, TX, event in January (check out some pictures I took at the event) and her story and how focused she is at only 19-years-old is so inspiring.
At Revolve Jamie Grace shared her testimony of how God helped her to deal with a diagnosis of Tourette Syndrome when she was 11-years-old and how she started acting and playing music despite hardships and dealing with discovering who she was. She also shared her song “Hold Me,” and an original song dedicated to Revolve. Despite being her first time being on the Revolve stage she seemed like a seasoned pro and was really inspiring and relatable. She’s an awesome inspiration to me on how God can launch you into your dreams if you trust, practice your craft and give all you do to Him.
I’ve been following Jamie Grace on Youtube since a few years back after I stumbled across one of her videos when I was randomly looking for a review of High School Musical 2 (don’t judge me, I was a bored college student;). I loved her videos talking about dealing with Tourettes and song covers she did with her guitar. Now she’s sharing her story and songs around the country; she’s really come a long way and I know this is only the beginning for the amazing places she’s going!
