Volume 5 of Serenity Ministries 4 Jesus Christ Playlist

Complete Playlist

1. Even When It Hurts - Hillsong United

Onwards to Volume 5 shall we? I really like this song called "Even When it Hurts" sung here by Hillsong. We will praise God even when we are weak and hurting because he is the great God. Music is powerful people. So much more powerful then we realize. Praise him today! Be blessed.

2. The Heart of Worship - Phillips, Craig, and Dean

This has always been one of my favorite worship songs as far back as I can remember when I first heard it. So often in church we sing our songs, and I have been guilty of it as well, and we just sing along. But how many times do we truly worship him? I pray that we will focus on God and truly worship him every day.

3. Power Of Your Name - Lincoln Brewster

This song by Lincoln Brewster seemed appropriate with all that is going on in the world.

4. Rise - Danny Gokey

My mom has been listening to Danny Gokey a lot lately. This song means a lot for me as it can be a reset type song. I have been going through a lot of changes lately, some good and some bad. One thing that has not changed though is God's purpose for me. I was made to rise. Thank you Jesus!

5. Without You - Ashes Remain

I have a close friend right now who is dealing with depression over a situation he is facing. I won't mention his name for privacy sakes but he knows who he is. I want you to know that I love you man. This song is for you. A dedication to my close friend. ❤️

6. My Life Is In Your Hands - Wendy Mitchell (Lorraine)

This cover is sung by Wendy Mitchell. Someone who used to do great teachings on scripture and the Bible. This song to me means that we do not have to worry about the circumstances we may face because our lives are in his hands. Be blessed today.

7. Let It Happen - Andrea Marie

If this last week of helping out with Vacation Bible School has taught me anything it's to just trust God. I was very nervous in the beginning but once I just let it God and let it happen as God wanted everything went smooth. As the song says: you're full of life, you're full of passion, it's how he made you, just let it happen.

8. Come As You Are - Bob & Heidi Paoletti

To me "come as you are" means no matter how unworthy you think you are or what you have done there is always room for you at the cross. Please wont you come as you are?

9. Make Me Shine - Isaiah 61 One

This is an original song by a close friend of mine, Danny Powell and his band Isaiah 61 One. It is my prayer that he will make me shine in these possible last days. I pray that he will make all of you shine in his wonderful glory.

10. Human - Christina Perri

This song has been on my heart for the last few days. At first I hesitated to add it to my playlist as it is considered a secular song and I try to stick to Christian artists and songs for the playlist. There have been a few exceptions such Creed and a song sung by Aerosmith. I honestly believe though that God can use anything for his good. Remember that we are only human and we make mistakes. Let's learn to love one another as we are all one in him. Blessings.

11. Ain't No Grave - Jamie Wilson

I do love Southern Gospel music and hope some of you do too. I find it amazing that God will lead me to gems like this. I was searching to see what song he would have me add next and saw this one to the right as a suggested for you video and it was perfect. I hope it blesses you.

12. Back To The Garden - Crowder

I stumbled across this song through Napster and really enjoy it. You can really feel the emotion and power in this song and like them I long to get back to the garden. Be blessed!

13. Washed By Blood - Brian Head Welch

One of my exes introduced me to the music of this man. He was a member of the band Korn, left the band to persue Christ and rejoined. Many have criticized him for returning but how can the light shine unless it be in the darkness. I always say who did Christ go to? The sinners and tax collectors. I really love this song and am honored to add it to the ministry playlist. Be blessed family.

14. The Lie - Broken Vessels

This group performed in my hometown yesterday but I unfortunately missed it. I heard they were a blessing though. I found this song on their YouTube Channel. I really enjoy it and will admit that I have bought into the lie that satan tells as well. Praise Jesus he is helping me to believe in the truth. Be blessed family.

15. Reckless Love - Cory Asbury

Lately God has been really revealing his love for me in different way. One of those ways is in making some new friends. You would be surprised how nice it is to just have people check up on you and ask how you are. May we all be used as blessings from God in others lives and may we too show the reckless love of God! Amen!

16. He's Alive - Don Francisco

Just discovered this song on the radio. Very powerful. God bless you this Easter morning!

17. We Are Brave - Shawn McDonald

Sometimes we have to be brave to live life as a Christian and do God's work. We will often face opposition, sometime even from others who claim they are Christians. We must continue steadfast in doing the work we know God has called us to do. So remember my brothers and sisters as you work for the Lord: We Are Brave!

Be blessed family. ❤️

18. Breathe - Jonny Diaz

Life can get extremely busy. You can get stressed out. It's good to just take time to remember to breathe and to relax in Jesus. Be blessed family.

19. Freedom Hymn - Austin French

I just really like this song and its message. We been set free. Amen!

20.  The Happy Song - Don Moen

Some may or may not like. One of my good friends says "I hate the happy song". I can get that i guess but this song brings back memories of the SFA  methodist student center for me and how everyone would have smiles on their faces. I present to you "The Happy Song" by Don Moen...and stay tuned.  I have something very special planned for the Volume 5 Bonus Song. 😊

Bonus: Peace In The Valley - Elvis Presley

I am excited about this one. As i think about the love of Christ i am reminded in Isaiah 11:6 of the verse where the Lion shall lie down with the Lamb. And a very special musical artist that many people are familiar with sang a rendition of a song about just that. I present to you all: "Peace In The Valley" sung by the king himself, Elvis Presley. Love all of you and look for Volume 6 soon.

Volume 4 of Serenity Ministries 4 Jesus Christ Playlist


Complete Playlist

1. Where You Go I Go - Jesus Culture

This seems like the perfect song to start off volume 4 of the sm4jc playlist. We are being given mercy and grace by God so we need to cling close to him. Let us praise Jesus and follow him. Thank you Jesus for the gift of today. 

2. Ready To Fly - FFH

I heard this song on the radio the other day and it just touched my soul. I listened to this band years ago and didn't know they had put out anything new. This song means so much because I'm a world filled with so much evil we should be looking for Jesus return and be excited and ready to fly. Who's with me?

3. God - Rebecca St James

Volume 4 Track 3 is the song “God” by Rebecca St. James. This to me is a very powerful worship song. He made the night and the day. What is man that he’s mindful of us? I can really feel the touch of God when I listen to this song. I hope you enjoy it as well.

4. Move (Keep Walkin') - TobyMac

I really enjoy this song by TobyMac. I've been meaning to share it for the last few days but haven't been able to. Remember as bad as things seem, it ain't over yet. Our God is still on the throne and the Lords not finished with us yet. 

5. Sparrows - Jason Gray

As I deal with all the stress of everything that is going on in my life right now and I see my friends dealing with stress and worry I heard this song come on the radio. It really helps me to remember to focus on God and realize that we must surrender it all to him. We can not do it on our own. Matthew 10:29-31. Be blessed today family.

6. Break Every Chain - Tasha Cobbs

I've been waiting for God to reveal to me the next song for the SM4JC playlist and this is it. A few months ago was the first time I heard this song and it was performed by a worship group that plays for our night of worship at the healing center. I love this powerful worship song. Be blessed.

7. Eye Of The Storm - Ryan Stevenson

This Thursday night I will be going with a group of close friends to see the band Newboys in concert. I am excited about it. Also playing will be Ryan Stevenson as well as another band which I plan to post a song by tomorrow.  Be blessed. 😊

8. Battles - The Afters

I mentioned yesterday that I will be going to see the Newsboys Thursday night. This is another one of the bands playing there. I really like this band and he message of this song. We need to let God fight our battles. They aren't ours to fight alone. Be blessed today.

9. Flood - Jars Of Clay

This is an older song sent to me by my new girlfriend (now ex). It is a great song about trusting God to lift us up above our problems. Be blessed today family.

10. Ephesians - ApologetiX

Ok I promised a couple of volumes ago that I would include a song by ApologetiX on one of these volumes. I had the pleasure to see this band in concert years ago and they are awesome.


11. When I'm With You - Citizen Way

In these times of stress where I am stressed everyday by pressures at work and stuff it is hard to stay focused on God and those things that are important. Like the song says "I'm not alright and I'm not ok" but when I'm with him I'm safe.

12.  Lord I Know - M.C. BLVD

Ok this one is a little different. I heard it in a rapture video on YouTube. It's kind of a love song to Jesus. Enjoy!

13. Are You Ready? - Beckah Shae

This song is  also on the video of the rapture I was watching. You could almost view this as a reply to the previous song. I seriously got chills listening to this song. I hope you enjoy it.

14. Fly - Jason Upton

This song is a little longer than most songs on my playlist but I really enjoy this. You can definitely feel a Spirit on God in this song by Jason Upton. I hope one day that we can all fly. 😊


15. What I Know - Tricia Brock

I discovered this song recently while listening to music from the movie God's Not Dead which I really enjoyed. When we feel down and beat up as I do a lot of the time we just have to trust in Jesus and trust in what we know about him and his love for us. He is very real. God is NOT dead. Amen!

16. Holy Spirit - Kari Jobe

Another gem that I first heard through Rebekah Boaz and the worship band that used to play at the healing center. Track 16 is "Holy Spirit" sung here by Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes. It is a great worship song. Be blessed everyone!

17. You Are Holy (Prince Of Peace) - Newsong

Track 17 of volume 4 is an older song that I have always loved. I think the first time I sang this song that I remember was at Grace Bible Church at Crosspoint years ago. Either there or at Great Escape which they used to have at First Baptist Church. Either way enjoy You Are Holy (Prince of Peace) sung by New Song. 😊

18. Jesus - Michael Davis

This will be the next song on the SM4JC Playlist. I picked a cover because I already had a song by Chris Tomlin on the list. This cover is by Michael Davis. I love this song and it should have been put on the list a while back. My favorite part: he roars like a lion, he bled as the lamb. Jesus is the lion AND the lamb! Be blessed family! 😊

19. How Great Thou Art - Home Free

This song is a mix of How Greet Thou Art and It Is Well done in acapela style. Reminds me of when Jon Forrest used to sing over ten years ago at church. Be blessed.

20. The Cross Has The Final Word - Cody Carnes

This song pretty much sums up everything lately that I have feeling and what this ministry represents. We all come from different backgrounds and different denominations or beliefs. We may not all worship the same or study the same or believe exactly the same way but.....the Cross Has the Final Word! Amen! Be blessed today.

Bonus: Back To God - Reba McEntire

The bonus track for volume 4 of the SM4JC playlist is "Back To God" by Reba McIntyre (the original spelling of her name). It may be too late for God's judgement on America but we can give our hearts to God. Perhaps He will intervene in our troubles. Just keep praying. Be blessed family.
