Jesus tells us in the Bible that He will be returning soon. Though the Lord had to go up to the Father for a time, He will be coming back to show us how the story is meant to end. While at times, we can feel as though He will never return, the day of His triumphant arrival back on Earth is surely coming soon. In “The King Is On The Way,” Jonathan Traylor reminds us of that truth, charging us to work diligently until the moment of His return arrives. How do you want to be found when He does?
2. "Praise You Anywhere"

It seems that in order to grow, we often have to go through difficult situations and learn to trust God even though we might be hurting. Throughout scripture, we see heroes of the faith who choose to hold onto faith rather than their fear. Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, we need to remember that God can save us from the fire. But even if He doesn’t, our faith should still be in God. In “Praise You Anywhere,” Brandon Lake brings us back to that powerful truth.
3. "I Believe"

"I Believe" by Phil Wickham proclaims the ultimate devotion with lyrics that celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ. "I Believe" opens with a powerful, pounding full band introduction with lead synth lines that seamlessly lead into the first verse. When Wickham's voice enters, his lyrics immediately declare Jesus' resurrection, setting a tone of profound conviction. As the song progresses, choir-like background vocals flood the chorus, infusing it with resounding words that serve as a reminder of our purpose in singing: to offer ultimate praise to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
4. "Trust in God"

God has promised to save us from the fires of the furnace, staying with us through the whole process. Yet, we are often surprised when we find ourselves in the flames at all. We forget that for Jesus to work a miracle in our lives, we need a reason for that miracle in the first place. With “Trust In God,” Elevation Worship shows us that God strengthens our relationships with Him by allowing us to go through struggles, and consistently saving us from them before they become too much for us to handle. He has never failed us, even when we did not see Him working.
5. "Never"

Through the years, we have each had to face down some terrible giants without anyone to fight beside. We have walked through some dark places as the only source of light. In these times, it can be easy to feel like the responsibility for the outcome is solely placed on our shoulders. In reality, God is always working behind the scenes, supporting us in ways that no one else can. In “Never,” Tasha Layton reminds us that God will never forsake or abandon us. Even when the road leads through dark places, God will always be there, working everything out for the good of those who love Him.
6. "I've Witnessed It"

It has often been said that seeing is not the same as believing. Oftentimes as Christians, we see amazing things happening all around us, but we can be blind to God’s part in it. When we receive blessings we rejoice, but we do not realize how important God’s part in it was. In “I’ve Witnessed It,” Passion brings us the revelation that we have seen God working, performing miracles and changing the lives of those around us, and we must remember the things we have seen, passing them on to others as testimony of His power and love.
7. "Surrounded By Holy"

It feels appropriate that Zahriya Zachary is joining a heavenly choir on her new single, “Surrounded By Holy,” because her voice is truly angelic. The original song showcases the pureness of her God-given gift, while ushering listeners into a moment of transcendence. The awe-inspiring offering takes its cues from the final book of the Bible as Revelation 4:8 gives us a glimpse into the heavenly realm: “…Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty — the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.’”
