"Cold Streets" is a song that explores the reality of life in the inner city on the Southside of Chicago. In 2014 Justin began doing ministry in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago working alongside and eventually on staff with Englewood Family Outreach a Christian non-profit ministry in that neighborhood. While there Justin saw a lot of pain, death, trauma, and hopelessness as he worked with three sets of one historic Chicago gang.

This Song presents three different perspectives of street life. Justin’s verse is first and comes from the perspective of someone not from the streets who has a heart to reach men and women in that life. The second verse features a lyrical heavyweight and brother in the faith Thre; and details his former life in a gang on Chicago's south side and how Jesus saved him out of that. Finally, the last voice on the track is a young man still in a gang in Chicago who is giving his perspective on life and what it is like to be born and raised in that situation.

Cold Streets was Produced by Justin Martyr and is available for free download on his website on justinmartyr305.com/music and on YouTube. The cover art was designed by Andrew Williams. Justin's goal with this song is to present various perspectives of the streets in order to challenge those outside of that life to care and be willing to have compassion and do some work in their closest inner city.

Another goal is to raise awareness of what is going on and to let the streets know that the people of God have a heart to reach them and there is hope for a changed life through the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The streets need to know that they can change for the better. THRE and many others are living proof that God can save you and deliver you out of gang life and make you one of his soldiers that now can bring others to salvation!

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, all things are new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Check out this A-dorable father-son duet as they sing along to Frank Sinatra’s “Me and My Shadow!” It’s a modern-day dad and his boy having a great time crooning to the 1962 classic sung by Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr.!

The cute twosome is from Kent, England, hence the right-hand driver’s seat. While enjoying a lovely drive, Matthew Clayton and his 6-year-old son Archie break into a song, as captured by Matt’s dash-cam.

Father and son have similar coloring and eyes, but their smiles are quite different—Archie’s is missing a few chompers in front! It is apparent that this is not their first attempt at this song. In fact, Archie is a big fan of Mr. Sinatra. “I really like Frank Sinatra. There are no other singers I like as much.”

Observe at 25 seconds when Matt takes notice of his son, who has just delivered a few words with extra gusto. He is tickled by his precious son, and so are we! The two sing most of the song together, but there are a few times when they take different parts. 

If it seems Matt is more than your average karaoke singer, he is. A salesman by trade, he also sings in a swing band called Our Way and is affiliated with the Dover Operatic and Dramatic Society. It’s clear that Archie is similarly talented. He may not have his dad's big voice, but he belts out the words and adds pizzazz and styling just as his idol always did. He nails it on “sky” and “surprise” at about 1:30, and does it again at 2:00 on “roar” and “more.” This young man is killing it!

As they finish, Archie carrying out the last note for a good, long time, Dad asked for a high-five from his son. Archie has to empty his fisted paw before he can offer his hand, but it is a joyful moment for the two of them, as well as all of us tuning in!  

There are probably some lines in the song that Archie does not understand. In particular, he may not comprehend “We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.” However, he does understand that he is loved by an awesome dad. What more does a kid need to know!

“And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4

Check out this beautiful acoustic performance from Passion Music of the new worship song ‘Maranatha.’

“This is not a performance and I’m not checking boxes, I’m here to worship
I’m here to worship You, so dust off the cobwebs and clear out my conscience
Cause I’m here to worship, I’m here to worship You, and nothing else
I’m here to worship You, and nothing else, I’m here to worship You
There’s no one else, I’m here to worship You, that’s all I wanna do”

What an incredible worship song that sounds so wonderful with the piano, drums, guitar, and vocals all making music together.

After the worship performance, some of the creators of the song, Sean and Jacob, were interviewed about ‘Maranatha’ and how special of a word it is.

“I don’t hear it a lot. It’s only used in scripture a few times. And it’s been thought to, in the early church, been a bit of like a mantra. Kind of like ‘Shalom,’” shared Sean. “If you are in the mountain or in the valley, if you are going through something tragic or something beautiful, you can say ‘Maranatha.’ It just means, ‘Come Lord’ or ‘Our Lord is coming.’ This hopeful belief that we can hang onto no matter what, what a cool thing.”

Then Jacob went on to express how he’s been wanting to write a song that uses the word ‘Maranatha’ in it.

“There’s language that we reserve really only for the Lord. That bridge has a lot of it in there,” Jacob said. “I’ve always kind of felt that ‘Maranatha’ is a beautiful thing to say to the Lord.”

Just like the words ‘Hosana’ and ‘Hallelujah,’ the word ‘Maranatha’ is such a special word to use when we are singing out praises to the Lord, and Passion did a wonderful job creating a worship song that does just that!

Listen to this wonderful rendition of the hymn ‘Amazing Grace’ performed by Guy Penrod.

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found was blind but now I see
Was Grace that taught my heart to fear and Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear the hour I first believed”

What a beautiful version of this beloved song! And the harmonies that come in later on in the song are so lovely! Many people shared their thoughts about Guy’s performance of ‘Amazing Grace’ online.

“Fabulous - I really love the way you put this rendition together. My favorite. Great Job!” one person wrote on YouTube after watching the video.

“My favorite singer! I love listening to his voice. He is amazing!” another person commented.

Guy Penrod has such an incredible voice and has been able to bless so many people through his singing ministry.

From 1994 to 2008, Guy Penrod was the lead singer of the Gaither Vocal Band. This is the work that he is most known for. In August 2009, Guy began his solo career and released his debut solo album titled Breathe Deep. The songs on the album consisted of positive country music with Christian undertones.

Then in September 2014, Guy released his first solo Christmas project entitled Christmas in the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store where it became No. 2 in sales, second only to Blake Shelton.

But music is not the only thing that is important to Guy Penrod. He is a family man and lives a country life on his farm with his wife, Angie, and their seven sons and one daughter. What a blessed man!

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this moving and prayerful rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ by Guy Penrod today!

I can’t wait to see what this duo performs next.

In the light of His glory and grace.”

Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you”

1.
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Refrain:
Are you washed (Are you washed)
in the blood, (in the blood,)
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

2.
Are you walking daily by the Savior's side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

3.
When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

4.
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
Theres's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Christian musician Phil Wickham cries out to the Lord with the official music video for ‘Worthy Of My Song.’

These inspirational words remind us that God deserves all of our thanks and praise.

“I'm gonna sing till my heart starts changing
Oh I'm gonna worship till I mean every word
'Cause the way I feel and the fear I'm facing
Doesn't change who You are or what You deserve”

Contemporary Christian artist Phil Wickham has been a staple in the Christian music world for decades. Over the years, this singer-songwriter has given us hits such as ‘This Is Amazing Grace’ and ‘Living Hope.’ He is a GMA Dove-winner and continues to use his God-given talent to praise His Holy Name.

Today, he’s hitting us right in the heart with the incredible song, ‘Worthy Of My Song.’

“I give You my worship
You still deserve it
You're worthy, You're worthy
You're worthy of my song”

So many people have been touched by this song. On Instagram, Phil wrote about the response to the powerful lyrics. “It’s been truly moving reading and hearing the stories of how this song is encouraging people. Much love to all of you guys. God is with You!!”

Across social media, people have shared their stories and it’s such an amazing blessing for a worship song to reach hearts all around the world. 

Revelation 5:12 “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”

You have to watch this poignant and powerful music video of Matthew West’s new song called ‘Wonderful Life.’

“Ron from Houston Texas spent 3 years fighting ALS, if you knew all that he’s been through
You’d think he’s anything but blessed, but smiling through a phone call
He said let me tell you friend, this life ain’t always wonderful
But what a wonderful life it’s been, it’ll send you flying high it’ll bring you to your knees
It’s the heartbreak and the happiness and everything between”

The amazing song was inspired by an experience Matthew West had with a fan named Ron Janca who was battling ALS and gave Matthew a new perspective on life. There are even photos of Ron’s life and clips of a video call that he had with Matthew included in the music video.

“My goal with that Zoom call was to sing for Ron and hopefully be an encouragement to him, but Ron had other plans,” shared Matthew West. “He spent the entire call encouraging me!”

He continued: “Little did Ron know that at that time I was battling some serious discouragement and was pretty depressed about the circumstances around me. But here was a guy able to see past his own battle with ALS to show kindness to me. I’ll never forget that. A few weeks later I received a call telling me that Ron passed away. I sat down and wrote this song. These past couple years have brought us tears, heartache, sickness and pain, but Ron taught me about the joy and the peace that you can find in this broken and beautiful, gone mad and magical, awfully wonderful life.”

Many people shared online about how the song has impacted them.

“Life is a mixture of everything good and bad, yet the choice is still left for us to use our experience as a springboard to do better. Thank you, Matthew West, for yet another touching new release. This song has blessed me,” writes one person on YouTube.

“This song touches my heart. It gives us a beautiful yet different and true perspective and understanding of life when we hold onto Jesus each step of the way. The love, the pain, the joy. We know it all. But it’s not the end of our story either. And our first moment in heaven one day will make up and repay for every single hardship we had here on earth. Until Heaven,” another person comments.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to Matthew West’s new song ‘Wonderful Life’ today!

Feel the chills as this trio performs an amazing cover of the classic song ‘The Sound Of Silence.’

Simon & Garfunkel originally released this iconic song in 1964. Since that time, many artists have lent their voices to the tune. One of the most well-known covers comes from the rock band, Disturbed, in 2015.

Recently, a cappella group Pentatonix released their own version and it skyrocketed the tune back into popularity. Today, we’re hearing an entirely new rendition, with a nod to classical music, and it’s absolutely stunning.

“Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence”

Today, the talented husband and wife duo of The Hound + The Fox are performing this iconic hymn. For years, Reilly and McKenzie Zamber have shared their vocal talent with the world through stunning covers and inspiring original songs such as ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘Mary, Did You Know.’

Now, they’re teaming up with Home Free member Adam Chance for a chilling rendition of ‘The Sound Of Silence.’ 

Just listen as they combine their voices in such a beautiful way for a truly unforgettable performance.

“Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence”

What an incredible performance from this trio of talented voices. Who else wants to hear more from these three?

Praise the Lord with this inspiring words of ‘Whom Shall I Fear (God Of Angel Armies)’ from Chris Tomlin.

This hit song was originally released in 2012 and quickly climbed to the top of all the Christian charts. 10 years later, this worship song still resonates with hearts all around the world. 

“Whom shall I fear?
I know who goes before me
I know who stands behind
The God of angel armies is always by my side”

For decades, Chris Tomlin has been a staple in the Christian music scene with hits such as ‘Good Good Father’ and ‘Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).’ His worship music is heard in churches all across the world and there is no doubt that he is one of the most popular modern day Christian artists.

Today, Chris is in Nashville, Tennessee for a live performance of ‘Whom Shall I Fear (God Of Angel Armies)’ and it is a spirit-filled moment that you don’t want to miss. 

“My strength is in your name
For you alone can save
You will deliver me
Yours is the victory”

On Instagram, Chris wrote about the journey of ‘Whom Shall I Fear (God Of Angel Armies).’ “It’s been amazing to see how God has used this song and how it has traveled around the world… I’m so glad we were able to capture it and share a live version with you!”

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD your God, he it is that does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.”

Make sure you check out this beautiful and haunting performance by Celtic Thunder of the song ‘Danny Boy.’

“Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling, from glen to glen, and down the mountain side,
The summer’s gone and all the roses falling, it’s you, it’s you must go
and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow,
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow, it’s I’ll be here in
sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny boy I love you so!”

The singer in this video is Emmet Cahill, and he has such a wonderful voice. It is absolutely heavenly to listen to.

“My all-time favorite version of this song. I always get chills hearing this. Truly beautiful,” one person comments on YouTube after watching the video.

“Truly so beautiful, it really made me cry! A wonderful gift from God!” another person writes online.

When it comes to the history of this beloved song, Frederic Edward Weatherly is to thank for the lyrics to ‘Danny Boy.’ He penned the first two stanzas of the song in 1910, but the lyrics did not find their musical counterpart until a couple of years later. It was Frederic’s Irish sister-in-law who had sent him the folk tune hoping that he would put lyrics to it.

But the origins of the music are somewhat of a mystery. Some say that a Celtic harpist played it as early as the 1600s, while others say it originated in the Scottish Highlands.

However the song originated, it remains true that it has always been hauntingly beautiful! And it will continue to be a favorite to many for years and years to come.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to Celtic Thunder’s wonderful rendition of ‘Danny Boy’ today!
