Take a step back in time as Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash perform the beloved hymn, ‘Will  The Circle Be Unbroken.’

This 1907 hymn was written by Ada R. Habershon with music by Charles H. Gabriel. For decades, this iconic song has touched hearts all around the world. The words remind us that God is always there as a source of comfort and strength.

Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go”

Johnny Cash was a legendary country singer. He is best remembered for his iconic songs ‘I Walk The Line,’ ‘Ring Of Fire,’ ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ and more. 

Another important part of Johnny’s life was his wife, June Carter Cash. They met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry and Johnny was quickly smitten. During their time together, the duo performed on stage with one another, but most importantly, they grew in their faith for Christ. 

Today, we’re taking a look back at one of Johnny and June’s iconic gospel performances as they sing the classic hymn ‘Will The Circle Be Unbroken.’ 

“Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky”

What an inspiring performance from this legendary duo.

It feels like years since it's been here, here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say, it's all right”

“Great arrangement, lovely harmonies, and nice bass playing and playing from the instrumentalists all round. Nailed it!” writes another person online.

On their YouTube page, The Petersens write, “we celebrate American roots music with family values, and perform full time in Branson, Missouri in the USA. The band consists of four siblings, Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne, our mom Karen, and good friend Emmett Franz.”

On that day, on that day, I will worship at his feet and praise his Holy name
I can’t wait for that beautiful day”

The men of Ransomed Bluegrass praise the Lord with a special performance of ‘I’ll Fly Away.’

This beloved song was written in 1929 by Albert E. Brumley. It was published in 1932 and became a hymn frequently performed in church services all over the world.

In fact, the song has even been called one of the most recorded gospel songs of all time with notable covers from Alison Krauss and Alan Jackson.

Albert was picking cotton on his family farm when the words to the classic hymn came into his mind. From that moment, it took Albert three more years to complete the iconic song.

“Some bright morning when this life is over, I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory. I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away”

Today, Ransomed Bluegrass is putting their own spin on this gospel classic. These talented men started out small, as just a group of people who enjoyed bluegrass music. Now, they’ve turned that love into even more as they write and record their own songs, all while honoring the Lord.

On their website, they described their mission. “We want the songs we sing to share God's love and ultimately the salvation that comes through Jesus.”

There’s no doubt that they are sharing God’s love with this amazing performance of ‘I’ll Fly Away.’

“Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away”

People all over the world love listening to these young men praise the Lord. One viewer said, “This made my day! For young men to be doing this made my heart sing! Thank you!”

Another wrote, “There's a reason this has almost two million views - people are hungry for something simple and straightforward, honest and well done.  Good job boys.”

Let's go down, come on down
O sisters, let's go down
Down in the river to pray”

On YouTube, the family gave some behind the scenes insight on the creation of their videos. “We try to match our songs to locations and it can take a little while for the song, venue, and lead singer to all come together at the same time!”

And we’re so glad that they take the time to create these incredible performances to showcase their God-given talents. Who else agrees?

He's our daddy and he reigns above!. Things here will pass, but Jesus love will last. He's our daddy!

Jesus, hold my hand, for I need Thee every hour
Through this pilgrim land, protect me by Thy power”

“Feeling at home in the presence of Jesus, hearing Him call me His own, just feeling at home
Feeling at home, putting my feet right under His table, knowing I won’t be alone
Just feeling at home, feeling at home, you couldn’t have told me I’d find what I found
Contentment and peace from above, feeling at home in the presence of Jesus
Laying way back in His love, warming myself by the fires of His spirit
Camping right close to the throne, just feeling at home, feeling at home”

John 14:1-3
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”

Check out this great video of the four men of Anthem Lights perform 'Jireh' by Elevation Worship and Maverick City.

“I'll never be more loved than I am right now, wasn't holding You up, so there's nothing
I can do to let You down, it doesn't take a trophy to make You proud, I'll never be more loved
Than I am right now, going through a storm but I won't go down, I hear Your voice
Carried in the rhythm of the wind to call me out, You would cross an ocean so I wouldn't drown
You've never been closer than You are right now, You are Jireh, You are enough
Jireh, You are enough, and I will be content in every circumstance
You are Jireh, You are enough”

What an incredible performance by Anthem Lights featuring Stephanie Skipper and Megan Duke. All of their vocals sound wonderful together as they sing out this powerful song.

“Man, you guys have got to do more Maverick City Music covers! Was wonderful worshiping with you all,” writes one person after watching the video on YouTube. “Truly powerful voices the Lord has given y’all, absolutely wonderful.”

“Incredible Voices and job on this song Anthem Lights,” comments another person online. “Love your music. Perfect Harmony.”

Anthem Lights is a vocal group from Nashville, TN known for their hymns, medleys and mashups. The Pop, Rock, Christian, and Gospel group is made up of singers Caleb Grimm, Chad Graham, Joey Stamper, and Spencer Kane.

As for the story behind the song ‘Jireh,’ many people do not know that just 4 days before Maverick City recorded the song, Chandler Moore, one of the singers in the group, lost everything in an apartment fire. He just had the clothes on his back, and that is what he walked into the studio with before recording ‘Jireh.’

The lyrics “I will be content in every circumstance” quickly became his testimony. God was enough. God will always be enough. What a great reminder as we listen to this powerful worship song!

Check out this powerful worship song. In this video, “Heart of Praise” is sung by Katy Nichole in a live performance.

Katy is a precious upcoming artist. She has joy as she sings out about her love for the Lord. Katy sings about not understanding the hard times but worshiping Christ no matter the circumstances. 

This beautiful song reminds us to remember our Savior and find our hallelujah each day in Jesus with a heart of praise. We need His help to be fully surrendered to Him.

Katy sings her heart out. This is not just a song to her. This is clearly personal and an anthem. You can tell she fully believes in this message and hopes that the listener will worship along with her. 

The band plays their song with equal intensity and excitement. This young worship artist is motivated by the love of Jesus. She reminds us that God is with us each day. We have to choose whether or not we will worship Him daily.  

As believers in Jesus, we are called to give thanks in all situations and to find hope in Him. We are invited into His mission to share the gospel with the world. 

We are brought into His family and forgiven from all of our sins through Jesus’ death and resurrection. We have more than enough reasons to have hearts of praise for our great Savior. Whatever we are going through, He understands. 

Paul teaches us in 1 Corinthians that God’s will for us is to rejoice, pray, and give thanks. “Heart of Praise” is a wonderful artistic reminder to do that.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Corinthians 5:16-18

Julien Avoyan is nothing short of amazing in this performance. Check out this video of “Stand in the Light,” a Jordan Smith cover that is dedicated to this teen’s sister.

As Julien sings in front of the camera, she has confidence and boldness. You can see joy exude from her bright smile. In the music video, she greets her sister at the door, and then you see them looking out the window together and realize that her sister has special needs. 

As Julien sings this song which she has dedicated to her sweet sister, she shares the powerful message of being herself and not hiding in shame but walking in confidence in how God created her to be. 

Julien has a strong and stunning voice. She hits high notes effortlessly. She has a beautiful authenticity about her. She shines. 

The song itself is so fun to listen to, but the message about her sister makes this video even more powerful. Julien has chosen to be a voice for her sister who has disabilities However, Julien affirms and celebrates that God has a purpose for all of His creations, and those with special needs have a purpose on this earth. 

We are called to love them just as others. Julien’s voice is easy to listen to, and her message rings out clear. The music video is precious, and it is so moving to watch these two sisters interact together.

God invites us to this kind of love and compassion for others. People are all made in His image, and we are commanded to love the Lord and love others.

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” 1 John 4:7

This is a talented group of young people playing their instruments. Check out this video of the Cotton Pickin’ Kids performing a toe-tapping cover of “Wagon Wheel.”

If you are a BlueGrass fan, this video clip is for you. This family band is made up of six kids from the ages of 12-19. 

They play fiddle, bass, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and lap steel guitar. The oldest brother kicks the group off for their performance. The banjo player steps up and begins to sing as all the children play their instruments together. It is precious.

The three brothers sing in harmony with one another. Then each instrument truly has a shining moment. These kids have clearly worked very hard on learning this song together. It must have taken a lot of patience and teamwork. 

The fiddler comes up to the mic and plays an incredible solo. Then, the youngest boy does an impressive solo on the lap guitar. Their music makes you want to dance. 

Watching these young people perform a task with a certain goal is inspiring. It reminds us that we, too, can accomplish great things when we are unified and focused. With the help of God, we can get away from being self-focused and get back to leaning on the Lord as a community. 

We know that we are not in competition with one another, but we each have a part to play in the ways that God has gifted us. We are motivated to do our best and to serve alongside those around us.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:12

This song has a laid back groove with lyrics by Sal Guttuso, who looks back at a life riddled with chaos and pain then finds peace in the one thing that never changes, 'everlasting love'.
