Maverick City Music x Kirk Franklin | Kingdom Book One (Deluxe)

The artists were deeply impacted by their experience at the facility and felt such a new sense of being, empowering them to explore new creative sounds and worship. To help usher the new musical evolution, they shared “Exodus” and “The Name” as singles to kick off this new deluxe project.  

Lindy Cofer | I Saw The Lord

"When we recorded these songs, we were met with the presence of God in a unique, powerful way. This is what led to titling the album “I Saw the Lord”. We have truly seen the goodness of the Lord! In all situations: Trial, blessing, sorrow or rejoicing. He is God and He is good! These songs will take you on a journey into the character and nature of Jesus. From Christ and Christ Crucified to Jesus the Revivalist; it never gets old singing to and about Jesus."

KXC | Hope Again

"I’m so excited about every single song on this EP, and I passionately believe and pray that these songs bring life to anyone who hears and worships with them. We’ve had the privilege of being able to record a number of songs and projects, during the life of KXC. However, I believe there has never been one as poignant, timely, and exciting as this recording." - Tom Eccleshall (Worship Pastor for KXC)

Cody Carnes | Be Glad

The new single from Cody Carnes comes straight from passages in Psalms and from Mark 5. "I love this song...I pray it helps find the reasons to BE GLAD when it can be so easy to find a reason to be sad, mad, frustrated, or anything else." "Be Glad" is available now! 

Maverick City Music x Kirk Franklin | The Name + Exodus

Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin have released two new songs from their upcoming deluxe project! "Exodus" and "The Name," featuring Maryanne J George and Brandon Lake, are now available. 

Chris Tomlin | Holy Forever

"These songs were written with the intention of helping people connect with God… And already throughout just the beginning of this process, with the songwriters, our families and friends, and the incredible team that helps bring these songs to the world, I have started to see God take these songs and impact hearts and lives.  My prayer is that God continues to take this music and use it in ways I could have never imagined… in ways only He could and in that, points the glory back to him."

LOFI Worship | Same God

The first single from LOFI Worship's upcoming 3rd volume is out now! “Same God” from Elevation Worship is a reminder of God’s power, goodness and generosity toward us throughout generations. 

Tauren Wells | Joy In The Morning

“I’ve come to view my music as an entrance not as an escape—it’s where you get to step in and consider your life,” explains Tauren Wells. “You can consider the pain. Consider the disappointments. Consider the dreams. And now, all of a sudden, you have a soundtrack that helps sooth the wounds or awaken the dreamer. It’s not about getting out of your life. It’s about getting more out of your life.”

Meredith Mauldin & UPPERROOM | You Gave (feat. Abbie Gamboa)

“‘You Gave’ is a song that highlights how Jesus came to us, not because we had it together, but because we didn’t. He chose to give His everything to us, anyway. When our hearts get ahold of the extravagance of what he has done for us, may our response be like Mary, washing his feet with our tears of gratitude!” - Meredith Mauldin

Ryan Ellis | Ryan Ellis

Singer/songwriter Ryan Ellis has released his self-titled album! The anticipated project features the six songs from his 2021 EP, Episode I, along with seven additional tracks including “New Wine Flow," "Heart Of The Father," and “Lean On The Lord."
