"'Impossible' and 'disappointment' are two words that have plagued our culture in this season," Zach Williams shares. "I want these words to be replaced with 'power' and 'miracles.' As a musician with a platform, I want 'My God is able' to rattle the minds of the listeners. The first time I heard this song, the raw power and emotion of this song impacted me greatly, and I want this song to be a reminder to all that God IS able and he IS doing great things." Original Master MultiTracks and other worship leading resources are available now "Rattle! (Feat. Steven Furtick)". 

CCV Music's latest single "O Come Emmanuel (Light Up the Darkness)" brings a fresh new take on a Christmastime classic. This new version sings out, "There's a promise written in stars / Shining across these ancient skies / O Come Emmanuel / King of Heaven open Your arms / Son of Man deliver us / O Come Emmanuel / Light up the darkness," while keeping the same classic melody of the chorus, but moving it to the bridge.

SEU Worship, Southeastern University’s student music ministry in Lakeland, Florida, has released their newest 9-song album Clouds Are Clearing: Mixtape 1a! Featuring songs like "After Your Heart" with Elle Limebear, "Pieces" with KB, and more, this album bridges the sounds of pop music with worshipful heart and lyrics.

"This song was inspired by the story in Luke 2 about the birth of Jesus and the angels that praised God saying 'Glory to God in the highest peace on earth and goodwill towards men.' It celebrates the Savior of the world being born, but also is written as a worship song and can be used during Christmas season," shares Fellowship Worship. Their newest song "Glory to God" is out now!

"Star of the Morning" is the brand new Christmas single from Hillsong Kids. This joyful song sings out, "This is Jesus, Emmanuel our Lord / He is with us / Give praise forevermore / We will adore Him with heaven in our sight / Star of the morning / We are found in His shining light." Hillsong Kids shares their heart behind this new song writing, "We can all agree that Christmas time never fails to lift the spirits. So to celebrate the reason for the season we have released a brand new single 'Star of the Morning'. A song for children all around the globe to declare the foundational truth of Emmanuel, God with us."
