The legendary actress and musician Dolly Parton has turned in a terrific rendition of a beloved Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel tune from the 1970s, “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

Life is an unpredictable experience, often filled with pain, hurt and sorrow. Unfortunately, it can get to the point where even getting through another day feels like a huge win. Situations and circumstances can overwhelm, sending people to dark places mentally. In these times, friends and loved ones are so vitally important. 

Friends, spouses and others can be a support system during distressing periods. Having someone by your side to talk to and cry on can be world-changing. An uplifting and encouraging word may be what someone needs to get through a difficult situation. 

In a video posted on YouTube, Dolly covers Simon and Garfunkel’s classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” It’s a tune about being a friend and a trusted confidante to someone who is going through a trying time. 

“Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down”

Like everything else that Dolly does, this cover is fantastic. Even in her late 70s, the multi-talented Hollywood star from Tennessee shows that she still has it. It’s a cover that could be listened to repeatedly.

Others who commented on the video’s YouTube link also expressed their love and adoration for Dolly’s cover of the Simon and Garfunkel song.

“Dolly will always be amongst my top music artists. She is just a beautiful singer. Her voice is beautiful and her songs are beautiful. She is just a remarkable and intelligent and wonderful woman. Women like her as exceedingly rare,” one person added.

“As always ms Dolly is amazing!! Thank you for great music!!” another individual wrote. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Legendary country and gospel vocal group The Oak Ridge Boys turned in an outstanding and delightful performance of one of their tunes during an appearance on Larry’s Country Diner.

Love is a subject that has kept musicians busy and songwriters employed for hundreds of years. Whether it’s about the excitement of a new relationship, unrequited romantic feelings or the ending of a romantic entanglement, songs cover all aspects of love. Some of the tunes even cover how one person changed their life.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the guys from Tennessee sing “You’re the One.” As you can probably guess, it’s a song about how one person came into the songwriter’s life and everything changed. 

“You’re the one in a million
You’re the one, you’re the one
You’re the one in a million I see
You’re the one in a million”

The guys belt out the beautifully written lyrics about how their entire lives were changed by one look from a person they refer to repeatedly as “the one in a million.” It was after that moment that nothing was ever the same for them. They were a changed person.

The guys demonstrate that they still have it after all these years, showing off the strength of their voices. It’s a performance that could easily be listened to repeatedly. 

The crowd in the clip taking in the masterful vocal performance from the Oak Ridge Boys also agrees with that assessment. They give the guys a well-deserved round of applause after their performance.

Only a few groups have been able to stick around as long as The Oak Ridge Boys. This clip shows why they have managed to do so when other similar groups have fallen by the wayside. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.”

Two of the biggest names in the Christian music scene, For King + Country and Michael W. Smith, brought their immense talents together for a “Place in this World.”

Everyone wants to feel loved and needed and that they belong. Being left out and feeling as if their thoughts, opinions and concerns do not matter is one of the worst feelings in the world. This thinking can lead to loneliness and impact someone’s self-esteem and self-worth. That’s why being with people and in a place where you are loved and cared for is vitally important.

In the official lyric video posted on YouTube, For King + Country and Michael W. Smith sing “Place in This World.” It’s a beautifully written and performed tune about finding one’s reason, mission and calling in life. 

“Feels like I’m looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find my place in this world
My place in this world 
Not allowed to lean on”

“A Place in this World” is such a beautiful tune about reaching out to and seeking Him for one’s purpose and mission in life. 

Others who commented on the video’s YouTube link also expressed their love and adoration of For King + Country and Michael W. Smith’s collaboration.

“I Love this version of the song! It was truly so moving! God is definitely using For King In Country to further His kingdom! They have such amazing voices too!” one person wrote.

“This song is beautiful and so powerful,” a second individual added.  

No one wants to go through life feeling as if their existence did not matter or that they didn’t make a bit of difference to someone. This can be a painful and heartbreaking experience. 

But no matter how we think or feel about ourselves, God is always faithful and loving. He offers shelter and comfort in the time of life’s storm. God has a will and purpose for every life. 

Everyone on Earth has a reason for being. Nothing God does is by accident.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Christian music artist Danny Gokey has released the official music video for his uplifting, powerful and encouraging song “I Got You.”

Life can and will throw all kinds of horrible, painful and agonizing situations in our direction. To make matters even worse, these circumstances often come at the least expected moment, not allowing us time to brace ourselves for the hurt to come. These incidents can leave us overwhelmed, push us to the brink and crying out for help. 

But, thankfully, there is one who never leaves our side, even when we may question His presence and actions. Christ is always faithful and loving. He provides comfort, healing and shelter during life’s storms. 

Danny Gokey’s beautifully written and performed song “I Got You” is all about these times when we encounter life’s storms. What are we going to do? How are we going to survive? Will we even make it through? 

The song's wonderful opening verse mentions the difference Christ can and does make when He comes into our hearts and lives. Even though things may appear rough ahead, with the outcome murky and unclear, Christ remains by our side.

“Where would I be if it wasn’t for You?
Lost in the dark then You walked in the room
I came alive when You opened my eyes
I won’t go back to that life”

The rest of the video is of people dealing with some of the worst life has to offer. One woman is struggling over the loss of a loved one. Another woman receives a devastating medical diagnosis, and one young man has a drug addiction. But through it all, as the video shows, Christ is with them, giving them hope and a promise of a future. Because of Christ and the difference that He has made in their lives, they can withstand the storm.

Praise God for His love and faithfulness!

One of the biggest names in Christian music, Steven Curtis Chapman, put on an outstanding and moving performance of his tune “Living Color” at the Grand Ole Opry.

Music is one of the many ways the good Lord has blessed our lives. He allows us to enjoy sweet and beautiful sounds produced by talented individuals. In addition to entertainment, music can tell personal, heartfelt stories and praise and worship the Lord. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Steven performs “Living Color.” “Living Color” is a beautifully written song about a friendship between two young boys – one Black and one white. The lyrics detail some of their experiences and adventures growing up, including playing in the marching band at Disney World and selling chocolate door to door.

“And his skin was black, and my skin was white
And the sky was blue, and the future was bright
And our blood ran red in both our veins
And we were lookin’ at the world in living color”

As the song continues, listeners soon learn that the two best friends grew apart. One of the children moved away as they entered high school. Life took them in different directions, and they lost touch. 

However, years later, after first falling out of touch, one of the now-grown men grew curious about his childhood buddy. He decided to do a little research to see if he could find out whatever happened to his friend.

Sadly, as Steven sings, the man learns that his friend has passed away. However, the man who passed away was said to have been a family man who worked hard and loved the Lord. 

This song, while it feels very personal to Steven, could easily be applied to our lives. How often do people pass in and out of our lives? We are often left wondering whatever happened to this person or that person. 

But this is a reminder of how much we can and do impact the lives of others, likely in ways that we never even imagined.

Immensely talented Christian singer-songwriter Josh Baldwin turned in a moving and heartfelt acoustic performance of “Made for More.”

The world is full of people who are lost, broken and struggling to survive. Many are looking for even the tiniest sign of hope. Others may believe that they are unlovable or unworthy and undeserving of love. But that kind of thinking could not be any further from the truth.

Jesus Christ willingly went through an intense, brutal and wholly undeserved death on the cross. He was mocked, spat upon and tortured. He took upon Himself all the world’s sin and shame. He did all of that for you and me. 

It is through Christ’s death and resurrection that the forgiveness of sins and salvation is even possible. He made a way and provided a hopeless world with the hope and possibility of everlasting life with Him. Jesus Christ went through all of this because He believes we were and are worth it. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Josh sings about Christ’s loving sacrifice and how we can and do find ourselves and our self-worth in what Jesus did on the cross. 

“I know who I am ‘cause I know who You are
The cross of salvation was only the start
Now I am chosen, free and forgiven
I have a future and it’s worth the living”

Not only does Jesus Christ offer forgiveness and freedom, but He also offers a future, a new life. God has a will and a plan for every life. No one is insignificant or worthless to the Father. He has equipped us all with skills, talents and abilities. He knows what we’re capable of doing. 

Only when living for Christ, walking in and having a relationship with Him will we realize and discover our purpose for the Kingdom of God. He, as Josh sings, made all of us for me.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

This cover of ‘Gentle On My Mind’ is a southern bluegrass rendition of the popular song.

Southern Raised is a family band from the Ozark Mountains, including Lindsay, Emily, Matt, and Alex. They know how to make music together, music that makes your heart want to smile.

The song, ‘Gentle On My Mind’ was written by John Hartford in 1966. He was a struggling singer and songwriter living in Nashville at the time. He was inspired by the movie, Doctor Zhivago and the love story between the two characters, Yuri Zhivago and Lara Antipova. 

Glen Campbell heard the song on the radio and decided to cover it, which was a smart decision. His cover was released in 1967 and due to the success of the song he went from country singer and crossed over to the pop charts and fame. 

Over the years many others have also covered the song such as Patti Page, Aretha Franklin, Dean Martin, and the Band Perry. 

If you are familiar with the song, you know the lyrics,

“It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind” 

Mixed with this catchy version, you won’t be able to forget them. 

Many in the comments also remember when Glen Campell sang the song. One commenter said, “I have always been a big fan of Glen Campbell. This cover is such a beautiful rendition of this song” and another commented, “One of my favorites, and y'all did an awesome job with it. Glen would be pleased.”

“That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David.” - Amos 6:5

One of the biggest names in Christian music Phil Wickham put on a dazzling and energetic performance of his hit song, “I Believe,” in front of thousands of screaming fans.

The world is full of all kinds of wickedness, evil and hatred. Since sin entered the world through the bite of that forbidden fruit, it has done nothing but hurt, destroy and cause endless amounts of pain. Sin continues to wreak havoc, with the proof all around us. 

However, there is one and only one way to redemption, forgiveness of sin and everlasting life. Jesus Christ willingly went to the cross, enduring a brutal and agonizing death while carrying all the world’s sin and shame on Himself. Praise God He rose from the grave days later, securing the ultimate victory over sin, death and Hell. 

In a video posted on YouTube, Phil sings “I Believe.” He belts out that he believes Jesus Christ is the only way to achieve salvation and forgiveness. It’s a song of worship and praise, thanking the Savior of the world for what He has done. 

“I believe in the crucifixion
By His blood, I have been set free
I believe in the resurrection
Hallelujah, His life is death’s defeat”

Christ did what only He could have done. He made a way when there was not one. He brought hope to a hopeless and dying world. 

Those gifts of the forgiveness of sin and salvation are offered freely today. The Bible states that all one must do is confess with their mouth that Christ is Lord and believe in their heart that God brought Him back from the dead and they will be saved.

Praise God for His grace, mercy and unfailing love. 

Romans 10:9 “Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation.”

One of the most popular and beloved Christian music bands, MercyMe, has turned in a moving and inspiring performance about Jesus Christ’s love, faithfulness and power.

Humans have a nasty and unfortunate habit of making a complete and utter mess of things. The first people to ever walk the earth willfully disobeyed the one command God gave them. Instead of adhering to God, their disobedience brought sin into the world. 

Since the bite of that forbidden fruit, sin has done nothing but hurt and destroy, wreaking havoc on the world. But there is an answer to that sin, shame and death: Jesus Christ.

In a clip posted on YouTube, MercyMe sings “Always Only Jesus.” The emotional and beautifully written praise and worship tune tells of Christ’s power and victory over sin, death and Hell. Not even Hell will speak the name of Jesus, as the song’s lyrics state.

“Every breath I’m breathing will be filled with praise
Just for one name, always only Jesus
Let my heart cry holy, and my hands be raised
Just for one name, always only Jesus”

The sin unleashed by Adam and Eve is still destroying lives and relationships today. But praise God, Jesus Christ willfully went to the cross, shedding his blood for you and me. He suffered, died and later rose from the grave so that we may experience everlasting life with Him.

Because of His death on the cross, we no longer have to live in our sin and shame. We can be restored to a right relationship with the Savior of the world. Christ’s blood and forgiveness, freely offered to all, wash away all sin and shame. 

That life-changing love, forgiveness of sin and offer of everlasting life are only available through one name: Jesus Christ. 

Hebrews 12:2 “Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God’s seat of power.”

An immensely talented musician, Danny Gokey, turned in an emotional and uplifting performance, singing about God's love, protection and faithfulness. 

Life is a series of unexpected events and situations, some of which can result in difficulty, hurt and sorrow. Everyone walking on Earth will encounter unfair and unpredictable circumstances, periods of confusion and dark valleys. Some times will pull, test and stretch the faith of Christians - even those who have followed Christ for decades.

However, God, in His word, promises on multiple occasions to never leave or forsake us during our time of need. He understands the situations, knows our hearts and is still in control even when He may appear to be absent. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, former American Idol contest Danny Gokey sings, “I Got You.” It’s a tune about relying upon God, having faith and knowing He is still there through everything. He is by our side through every high and every low. God is faithful.

“Why should I tremble with worry and fear?
If I am your temple, You’re already here
Heaven surrounds me when I call Your name
There’s nothing that You cannot change”

Those beautifully written lyrics reinforce the idea found several times throughout God’s word that He is always guiding, directing and protecting. He provides healing and comfort during the storm. He can also bring hope to a situation that, at first and even second look, would appear to be hopeless. 

Everyone will face terrible situations, hardships and trials. Those times may even cause us to ask questions of God. But Christians can stand on God’s promise that he will never leave or forsake us. He is merciful and loving and uses all things for the good of those who love Him. 

Deuteronomy 7:9 “Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;”
