If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me." Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me It is high, I cannot attain it.

You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. You know my sitting down and my rising up You understand my thought afar off.

Please tell me the personal story behind this song. If you're looking for new worship songs to sing with fellow believers, this album is chock-full of congregational songs-especially "Raise a Hallelujah," "Goodness of God," "Victory is Yours," and " Stand in Your Love." I had the chance to speak with Jenn Johnson about her infectious worship song, "Goodness of God." The album is inspired by the story of King Jehoshaphat and the unlikely victory won by sending worshipers to the front lines of battle in 2 Chronicles 20:22: "As they began to sing and praise the Lord set an ambush against the men who were invading Judah and they were defeated." The album is intended to lead listeners to the frontlines, also. It features 14 original live worship songs, all beautifully produced for church and the album ranked in my top 5 worship albums of 2019. They have introduced churches to worship favorites, including "One Thing Remains," " Forever," "You Make Me Brave," "No Longer Slaves," "Seas of Crimson," and " This Is Amazing Grace."īethel Music's album, Victory, released everywhere last year. Bethel Music has introduced and developed several amazing worship leaders, including Brian and Jenn Johnson (" Have it All"), Amanda Cook, Jeremy Riddle, Steffany Gretzinger, Kalley Heiligenthal (" Ever Be"), Kristene DiMarco (" It is Well"), Paul and Hannah McClure, Josh Baldwin (" The War is Over"), as well as Melissa and Jonathan David Helser.
