If You’ve Sung ‘Gratitude,’ You Know Benjamin William Hastings
If you’ve sung Gratitude in church, you’ve already been singing Benjamin William Hastings’ words for years. The Northern Irish-born singer-songwriter has quietly become one of worship music’s most compelling voices—co-writing anthems like Cory Asbury’s The Father’s House, and Hillsong Worship’s O Praise The Name (Anástasis).

God Really Loves You
God really loves you. He doesn’t, some days, love you… He doesn’t love you only after you nobly bought a home-baked meal to a cancer patient. He doesn’t only love you when you went out of your way to carry an old lady’s grocery bags to her car.

He loves you on your bad days. He loves you when you are at your best. He loves you at your worst. “For I am convinced that neither death…
