In December 2013, we established a radio program called Preparing the Way, which was a worldwide radio broadcast via the Internet dedicated to preparing the way for the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ in repentance, preaching holiness, righteous, and truth. While the program is no longer actively airing, we do have the archived episodes listed below, as well as music videos.

Scriptural Basis
As the Scripture says:

"A voice is calling, 'Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.'" (Isa 40:3-5)

“And all flesh will see the salvation of God.'" (Luk 3:6)

"Get yourself up on a high mountain, O Zion, bearer of good news, Lift up your voice mightily, O Jerusalem, bearer of good news; Lift it up, do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, 'Here is your God!' Behold, the Lord GOD will come with might, With His arm ruling for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him And His recompense before Him."  (Isa 40:9-10)

“Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations.  The Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: ‘Say to Daughter Zion, “See, your Savior comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.”’ They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.” (Isa 62:10-12)

"'Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,' says the LORD of hosts. 'But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness.'" (Mal 3:1-3)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

You Did It Unto Me

Official lyric and worship music video for "You Did it Unto Me," a song inspired by the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25. This song is a prayer for eyes to see the needs right around us and the grace to respond with a heart of compassion—reminding us that whenever we serve the least of these, we serve Christ Himself.
Watch on Youtube: You Did it Unto Me, or watch here on Rumble.


Brought Our Hearts to You (lyrics)

(Verse 1)
Lord, give me eyes to see them
The way that You see them, Lord.
Give me a heart of compassion
To love them and serve them more.
When someone is hungry or thirsty,
When someone is lonely and weak,
Send me to meet them right where they are,
To be Your hands and feet.

(Chorus)
Give me Your eyes, Lord,
Give me Your heart.
Show me the broken
And where I should start.
Give me Your mercy,
Give me Your love.
Let me see Jesus
In everyone.

(Verse 2)
When someone is sick and hurting,
When someone has no place to stay,
When someone feels forgotten,
Lord, don't let me turn away.
Give me the grace to notice,
Give me the courage to care.
When I see someone in need, Lord,
Let me find You there.

(Chorus)
Give me Your eyes, Lord,
Give me Your heart.
Show me the broken
And where I should start.
Give me Your mercy,
Give me Your love.
Let me see Jesus
In everyone.

(Bridge)
Then one day I'll stand before You,
And everything will be known.
And I will hear You say to me,
“Come, you who are My own.”

“Come, you, blessed by My Father,
Inherit what I’ve prepared for you.
The kingdom that's been waiting
Since the creation of the world.”

And I'll say, “Lord, when did I see You?
When did I serve You, Lord?”

And You will answer:

“You did it unto Me,
You did it unto Me.
When you served the least of these,
You did it unto Me.”

“You did it unto Me,
You did it unto Me.
When you loved the least of these,
You did it unto Me.”

(Final Chorus — Bigger)
Give me Your eyes, Lord,
Give me Your heart.
Show me the broken
And where I should start.
Give me Your mercy,
Give me Your love.
Let me see Jesus
In everyone.

Brought Our Hearts to You

We often try to hide our brokenness, but God doesn't discard our shattered pieces—He gathers them up and draws us into His embrace.

This worship song explores the profound truth that God uses the trials and heartaches of a fallen world to reveal the depths of His love, turning our greatest needs into opportunities to know Him personally and experience His love. Related article: God's Love Revealed: How He Turns Our Greatest Needs Into Opportunities to Know Him
Watch on Youtube: Brought Our Hearts to You, or watch here on Rumble.


Brought Our Hearts to You (lyrics)

(Verse 1)
We lived beneath the shadows, hiding from Your light,
Building walls around our hearts, afraid to face the night.
We ran from Your presence, covered in our shame,
But You came running toward us, calling us by name.

(Chorus)
You turn our need to praise,
You turn our tears to songs,
You take what we call broken
And show us we belong.
You take what is broken,
You make all things new,
What we thought was the ending
You turn into praise of You.

(Verse 2)
Before the world was spoken, You knew us and You loved,
And through the cross of Jesus, Your mercy was revealed.
Not by our striving, not by what we do,
But by Your grace alone, You make us whole and new.

(Chorus)
You turn our need to praise,
You turn our tears to songs,
You take what we call broken
And show us we belong.
You take what is broken,
You make all things new,
What we thought was the ending
You turn into praise of You.

(Bridge)
When I am weak, You are my strength,
When I am lost, You lead me home.
When all I have is need,
I find that You are all I need.
You never waste a broken heart,
You meet us right where we are.
And what we thought was ending
Becomes where Your love starts.

(Final Chorus)
You turn our need to praise,
You turn our tears to songs,
You take what we call broken
And show us we belong.
Your mercy writes our story,
Your grace makes all things new,
And everything we've walked through
Has brought our hearts to You.

This piece invites you to leave behind the strife and din of the world and prepare your heart as a peaceful dwelling place for God. Stream or download this song to enrich your personal quiet time, prayer, or meditation. Scriptural Basis
Song of Solomon 4:12-16 -- "You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices. You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon."

As the Still, Fair Court (lyrics)

[Verse 1] He told me of the River bright That flows from Him to me, That I might be for His delight A fair and fruitful tree. [Chorus] That as the still, fair court to me Afar from strife and din, So unto Him my heart should be, And He would rest therein. [Verse 2] He told me that as doves that rise Far through the golden light, So He would lead me through the skies In raiment pure and white. [Chorus] That as the still, fair court to me Afar from strife and din, So unto Him my heart should be, And He would rest therein. [Bridge] And on my knees I knelt and prayed To Him Who is my Sun and Shade. There came to me that saying deep: “Who loveth Me, My words will keep. And him My Father loveth well, And We will come with him to dwell.” [Final Chorus] That as the still, fair court to me Afar from strife and din, So unto Him my heart should be, And He would rest therein. [Outro] Yes, Lord, through Thy precious Blood, Am I the resting-place of God. Am I the resting-place of God.

What is in Your Hand? | Celtic Lyric Worship Music

What happens when we feel like what we have to offer is too small for the task ahead? This original, Celtic style worship song of mine is a reminder that God doesn't ask us to find resources we don't have; He asks us to look at what is already in our hands and yield it completely to Him. Whether it's a staff, a smooth stone, or a few loaves, God takes our ordinary offerings and multiplies them for His extraordinary glory.

Scripture Focus: Exodus 4:1-5 1 Samuel 17:34-40 John 6:5-14 Romans 12:1

Watch on Youtube: What is in Your Hand?, or watch here on Rumble.


What is in Your Hand? (lyrics)
[Verse 1] I’m looking at the mountain, looking at the need Wondering how to move it, planting every seed I’m searching for an answer, looking for a way But I hear Your quiet whisper at the break of day You’re calling me to listen, You’re calling me to stand And with a holy question, You ask me, “What is in your hand?” [Chorus] So here is what I’m holding, Lord, it’s all I have to bring A simple, yielded offering, the least of everything It’s not for me to measure, it’s not for me to weigh I place it on Your altar, I give it all away [Verse 2] I thought I needed more, I thought I needed gold I thought I needed greatness, or a story to be told But You used the shepherd’s spirit, You used the humble heart You take the common pieces and You set them all apart You don’t look for the power that the world can understand You’re waiting for the moment I release what’s in my hand. [Chorus] So here is what I’m holding, Lord, it’s all I have to bring A simple, yielded offering, the least of everything It’s not for me to measure, it’s not for me to weigh I place it on Your altar, I give it all away [Bridge] Take the staff, take the stone, take the fish and loaves Take my life and use it wherever Your Spirit flows For Your glory and Your honor, let Your kingdom stand Lord, I now surrender—what is in my hand

Faithful to Your Promises

Faithful to Your Promises is a deeply reflective worship song centered on God's enduring word, physical and spiritual healing, and the absolute assurance of His faithfulness. Rooted in the truth that He is our strength, our healer, and our sustainer, this song lifts our eyes to His unfailing promises. I wrote this with the assistance of AI tools to be a song where the Lord declares His promises over us, and we respond to Him with praise. Related article: How Sin and Righteousness Shape the Body Scripture Focus: Proverbs 3:7–8 – "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."

Faithful to Your Promises (lyrics)
[Verse 1] Trust in Me with all your heart, Let My wisdom guide your way. When you turn your heart toward Me, I will lead you day by day. Fear the Lord and turn from evil; Walk in truth and you will find: Healing for your body and mind, Refreshment to your bones.
[Chorus] You speak life over us, Your promises are true. You are faithful forever, Your Word will see us through. We praise You and trust You In all that we do. We lift up our praises, O Jesus, to You!
[Verse 2] I’ll satisfy you with good things, I’ll renew your strength once more. Like the eagle rising upward, I will lift you as you soar. When you run, you'll not grow weary; When you walk, you'll not grow faint. I will strengthen every step you take And sustain you when you're weak. [Chorus] You speak life over us, Your promises are true. You are faithful forever, Your Word will see us through. We praise You and trust You In all that we do. We lift up our praises, O Jesus, to You!
[Verse 3] My ways are paths of peace; In trusting Me, your worries cease. Like a tree beside the waters, Thriving, green and strong. In Me your leaves will flourish; In Me you'll find your root; And resting in My presence, Your life will bear much fruit.
[Chorus] You speak life over us, Your promises are true. You are faithful forever, Your Word will see us through. We praise You and trust You In all that we do. We lift up our praises, O Jesus, to You!
[Bridge] Those who look to Me are radiant, No more bowed down by shame. The joy of My presence will fill you, And you will rejoice in My name.
[Final Chorus] You speak life over us, Your promises are true. You are faithful forever, Your Word will see us through. We praise You and trust You In all that we do. We lift up our praises, O Jesus, to You!
[Outro] We praise You, Lord Jesus, For Your faithful promises. You forgive all our sins, You heal all our disease. You restore our bodies, You renew our souls— Healthy, whole, and free in You, In You we are made whole.

The Kingdom of God is Like This

Welcome to a time of quiet reflection and worship. This original modern hymn, "The Kingdom of God is Like This," was written with the assistance of AI tools to bring powerful biblical truths into a meditative musical format. Rooted deeply in the parables of Jesus, the song explores the quiet, mysterious, and unstoppable expansion of the Kingdom of God in our hearts and in the world.

Scriptural Inspirations
The Growing Seed & The Mustard Seed: Mark 4:26–29 & Matthew 13:31–32
The Yeast in the Flour: Matthew 13:33
The Hidden Treasure & Pearl of Great Price: Matthew 13:44–46
The Casting Net: Matthew 13:47–48



The Kingdom of God is Like This (lyrics)
[Verse 1] The Kingdom of God is like a tiny seed, Sown upon the earth in simple deed. Night and day it quietly grows, How, the sower never knows. First the blade, then full ripe grain— God alone brings forth the gain. [Chorus] Oh, the Kingdom of God is like a growing seed, Hidden in the earth, yet bearing fruit indeed. From the smallest start to branches spreading wide, Where the birds of heaven safely come and hide. Though our eyes can't see the work begun, God is growing His Kingdom till His will is done. [Verse 2] The Kingdom of God is like the yeast in bread, Hidden in the flour till the whole is fed. Silent is its work, yet strong its power, Changing all within from hour to hour. Little things become God's mighty plan— He transforms the world and heart of man. [Chorus] Oh, the Kingdom of God is like a growing seed, Hidden in the earth, yet bearing fruit indeed. From the smallest start to branches spreading wide, Where the birds of heaven safely come and hide. Though our eyes can't see the work begun, God is growing His Kingdom till His will is done. [Bridge] The Kingdom of God is like a hidden treasure found, Or one great pearl of everlasting worth renowned. Gladly all is given, joyfully we part With every lesser thing to gain His heart. Nothing in this world can e'er compare With all the riches waiting for us there. [Verse 3] The Kingdom of God is like a casting net, Gathering every soul that it has met. When the harvest comes, the King will reign; Justice and mercy shine through every name. Last and first are welcomed by His grace— Every humble heart will find its place. [Outro] The Kingdom comes like seed beneath the sod, Quietly unfolding by the hand of God. Hidden now, yet one day every eye shall see The fullness of His glorious victory. So let the seed take root and grow— His Kingdom comes... His Kingdom grows... Forevermore.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Boast in the Lord

A new original worship lyric video focusing on surrender, finding strength in Christ, and giving Him all the glory. 

"So I'll boast in all my weakness, for Your power meets me there."

May this song be a prayer of surrender for your personal devotion time or your church congregation.

Scriptural Basis
  • 1 Corinthians 1:29–31 / Jeremiah 9:23–24: The foundation that human pride and wisdom are dismantled so that the one who boasts boasts only in the Lord;
  • Ephesians 2:8–9: Salvation as a gift of grace through faith, leaving no room for human works or self-glory;
  • 2 Corinthians 12:9–10: The central paradox and declaration that Christ's power is perfected and rests upon us in our weakness ("When I am weak, then I am strong");
  • Psalm 115:1: The posture of ascribing all glory, honor, and praise entirely to God's name rather than to human achievement.
Watch on Rumble: Boast in the Lord.


Boast in the Lord (lyrics)
[Verse 1] All the strength I thought I had All the crowns I chased and claimed Left me empty, left me lost Till I called upon Your name Every title, every prize Fades beneath Your holy throne All my glory turns to dust You alone are glorious [Chorus] So I'll boast in all my weakness For Your power meets me there Not by wisdom, not by strength Only by Your grace You are lifted in my brokenness You are worthy, Christ the King Let the cross be all my glory Jesus, everything [Verse 2] Human wisdom fades away Pride will never stand with You Still You love to raise the weak Faithful, righteous, good, and true When my hands have nothing left When my strength is finally gone There Your grace becomes enough There Your glory shines [Bridge] When I am weak, You are strong Here with You is where I belong Break my pride, make me new All the glory belongs to You When I am weak, You are strong Here with You is where I belong Break my pride, make me new All the glory belongs to You [Outro] Not to us, O Lord, not us To Your name be all the praise When I am weak, Your power stays Christ, be exalted always

As Little Children Do

Step into the pure joy, wonder, and intimacy of God’s family with "As Little Children Do", a Scripture-based worship song. Produced through prayer and deeply rooted in Scripture, this uplifting worship song explores the heart of Jesus' teaching that we must receive the Kingdom of God like a little child (Matthew 18:3, Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14–15, and Luke 18:16–17). It's intended to be sung by both children and adults alike, and is not meant to be only for children.
Sung by a vibrant children's vocal ensemble (synthetically generated) with warm, acoustic-driven instrumentation, this song takes listeners on a clear biblical and emotional journey: • Childlike Coming to God: Approaching the Lord with humility, dependence, trust, and open hearts. • Receiving the Kingdom: Embracing the central truth of the Gospels—that the Kingdom belongs to such as these. • Belonging to God's Family: Resting in the Father's embrace as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. • Royal Identity: Celebrating the balance of God's majestic reign and His deep personal intimacy as "Abba, Father." • Joyful Worship: Expressing the natural response of children who know they are fully loved, redeemed by the cross, and brought out of darkness into His marvelous light. Musical Style & Instrumentation • Vocals: Joyful, jubilant young voices featuring call-and-response sections, a lead child vocal, and warm echo harmonies. • Instruments: 12-string acoustic guitar fingerpicking, warm grand piano, melodic upright bass, soft ambient synth pads, tambourine, maracas, and light drums. "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." — Mark 10:15

Overcomers

Welcome to the official worship lyric video for "Overcomers," a powerful modern hymn declaring the victory we have through Jesus Christ. No matter the trials, battles, or dark seasons we walk through, we stand firm on His unchanging Word, clothed in His armor, and anchored in His finished work on the cross.

Scripture Basis 
Romans 8:37 (NIV) — "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." 1 John 4:4 (NASB): "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." Revelation 12:11 (KJV) — "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Also see: 1 John 5:4–5; Ephesians 6:11–13; Rev 21:4-5

Overcomers (lyrics)
[Verse 1] In a world of trial, a world of pain, Where shadows gather and hopes seem slain, We take our stand on the Savior's Word, The voice of truth that the nations have heard. Though the fire burns and the battle is long, Christ is our refuge, our strength and song. Bearing the cross, we will not turn away; Faithful to Jesus, we'll stand today. [Chorus] We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, By the word of our testimony we stand. Greater is He who is living in us; Strong in the name of our Lord Jesus. Christ has triumphed; victory's won. Our victory rests in God's own Son. [Verse 2] Not in our own strength do we fight, Strong in the Lord, in His power and might. Clothed in His armor, we stand unashamed, Holding the shield of faith in His name. Standing firm on His faithful Word, Trusting each promise we have heard. Submitting to God, every lie must flee; The victory is Christ's, and the victory is free. [Bridge] We will not love this passing life More than our Savior crucified. Though we walk through fire or sword, Nothing can separate us from our Lord. We will not cling to fleeting breath; Faithful to Jesus, even through death. He who endures till the race is won Will hear, "Well done," from God's own Son. [Final Chorus] We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, By the word of our testimony we stand. Greater is He who is living in us; Strong in the name of our Lord Jesus. Christ has triumphed; victory's won. We overcome through God's own Son. Death has no victory, fear has no claim; All of hell trembles at Jesus' name! Death has no victory, fear has no claim; All of hell trembles at Jesus' name! [Outro] To the one who overcomes, the promise remains: He makes all things new; His kingdom shall reign. No more sorrow, no more tears, No more death, no more fears. Forever His people, forever His own; Forever with Jesus before His throne. Forever we worship our Savior and King, Singing, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" (at home forever...) Singing, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" (lifting eternal praise...) To the one who overcomes, the promise remains: He makes all things new; His kingdom shall reign. No more sorrow, no more tears, No more death, no more fears. Forever His people, forever His own; Forever with Jesus, forever at home. Forever we worship our Savior and King, Singing, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" (at home forever...) Singing, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" (lifting eternal praise...)
