Steele Croswhite and Caleb Yetton of The Rock Music sit down to talk about their latest releases, the heart behind their ministry, and how they’re using music to share the hope of Jesus both in the U.S. and around the world.
In this conversation, they dive into their new single “Jesus Paid It All,” their passion for authentic, guitar-driven worship, and why they’re committed to staying true to the sound God has placed on their hearts. They also share powerful stories from recent international outreach, including ministry in Italy, where music opened doors for gospel conversations across language barriers.
As a ministry of The Rock Church in Utah, The Rock Music has been creating Christ-centered music since 2003, reaching communities with few Bible-believing Christians and building unity through worship and outreach.
Point of Grace delivers an exclusive acoustic performance of “Good Friends, Good Medicine” for GodTube Music.
Fresh from their brand-new album Lady Wisdom, the trio brings warmth, joy, and their signature harmonies to this stripped-down rendition of one of the project’s most uplifting tracks. “Good Friends, Good Medicine” is a celebration of the people God places in our lives to encourage, strengthen, and walk with us through every season.
With over three decades of music and ministry, Point of Grace continues to create songs that speak to the heart of faith, family, and friendship—and this performance is a beautiful reminder of the healing power of community.
The beloved hymn “Victory in Jesus” has received a rocking cover. This rendition of the classic church hymn is unlike any you have ever heard, and that is for sure. Watch the short but thoroughly enjoyable clip to hear this rocking cover of the hymn “Victory in Jesus.”
Covers are an age-old practice and tradition that likely dates back to the origins of music itself. Seeing as how covers are arguably more popular than ever before, given the continued popularity of America’s Got Talent, American Idol, The Voice, YouTube and the like, it’s safe to say that they are here to stay.
Now, when it comes to covers, most typically think of more modern, secular songs getting the makeover treatment. For the most part, that is correct, and who doesn’t enjoy hearing someone else’s take on a song that everyone knows and loves? Who knows that cover may even end up being better than the original? The odds are that it won’t be the case, but in very rare instances, it has happened.
However, when covers, reimagining and the reworkings of songs are mentioned, hymns are very rarely, if ever, considered. When it comes to hymns, most people perform them as they were first written, never even giving them a second thought. But a clip posted on YouTube is of a young man who has taken “Victory in Jesus” in a completely different direction. He plays it as a rock song, with the very same lyrics that we all know and love, but just with some drums and a very different sound.
This is such a unique take on this hymn that you can’t help but have a smile on your face when you listen to it. Even if it’s not your thing, you still have to appreciate the effort and the fact that he tried something new, not just played it like everyone else ever since the song was first written.
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.”
Psalm 36 begins with a chilling sense of moral revulsion and dread at the depth of human wickedness and arrogance. It then soars into a state of boundless wonder, finding safety in the "fountain of life" and the vast, sky-high reach of God's unfailing love.
The "Book of Psalms: Back to Songs" project is a creative endeavor to restore the original spirit of the #psalms - as songs of worship, lament, praise, and reflection-by transforming them back into musical form, as many were written. Drawing from modern translations of the classic biblical texts, this project reimagines the Psalms with fresh musical arrangements that blend timeless messages with modern sounds.
Each Psalm is thoughtfully adapted into lyrical and melodic compositions, many using modern tools, to explore harmonies, instrumentation, and genre-blending arrangements. From soulful acoustic ballads and rock/pop hymns to country pieces and R&B-inspired tunes, the project seeks to make the Psalms accessible and resonate with today’s listeners, while staying true to their emotional and spiritual depth.

Isaac Mather shares a powerful full-circle moment as he steps into The Resurrection of a King.
On the red carpet at the world premiere, Isaac talks with Brandon Woolum about reimagining “Grace Greater Than Our Sin” and how the opportunity to work with Tommee Profitt came after years of being impacted by his music during a difficult health journey.
He opens up about the challenge of taking a traditional hymn and bringing it to life in a bold, cinematic way, including being pushed vocally to new heights in the studio. Isaac also reflects on the unforgettable experience of recording with a full orchestra and choir, describing the atmosphere as electric and unlike anything he has ever felt before.
For Isaac, this project is more than just a performance. It is a meaningful moment of faith, growth, and stepping into something bigger than himself.
Christian singer-songwriter Amanda Nolan delivers a powerful and intimate acoustic performance of her breakout single “Can’t Keep A Secret” exclusively for GodTube Music.
With raw emotion and a message rooted in faith, Amanda’s soulful voice brings this fan-favorite to life in a stripped-down setting that highlights the heart behind the song. It’s a reminder of the hope we’ve found in Jesus and why it’s something we can’t keep to ourselves.
Beloved worship songs get a stunning bluegrass makeover in this creative cover by the Hudson Harmony Band. All of the sounds blend together so seamlessly. Play the video to hear it.
As the band appears over various beautiful landscapes in northern Arizona, they sing snippets from “I’ll Fly Away,” “I Can’t Feel at Home Any More,” and other Gospel hymns. The bluegrass worship cover sounds almost a little sped-up, but it may actually just be the fast pace of their fingers on their instruments—they are a very skilled group.
Along with the guitar, members also play the banjo, mandolin, and fiddle. Bluegrass worship covers are wonderful to hear. It’s always nice to hear a song you’ve heard many times reimagined in a different way.
Some of the lyrics from the medley, which are from “I Can’t Feel At Home An More,” are:
This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue;
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
The hymn first appeared in 1919 in “Joyful Meeting in Glory Song Book No. 1,” but the author is unknown. It’s a shame because it’s such a thoughtfully and cleverly written song.
The first person to record the song was a blues singer named Sam Jones of Cincinnati, who recorded under the stage name Stovepipe No. 1. Since then, a number of artists have recorded and covered it, including the Arizona-based Hudson Harmony bluegrass band.
It sounds just as good–if not better–when sung in this bluegrass style. Hopefully, the Hudson Harmony Band has got more bluegrass worship covers planned for the future, too!
“For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.” 2 Corinthians 5:1
This couple’s stripped-down version of “The Old Rugged Cross” will lift your spirit today. You can’t go wrong with the harmonica, guitar, and birds chirping. Play the video to remind us of the hope we have in Jesus.
This couple's singing of "The Old Rugged Cross" is bringing glory to God through their cover of this sacred hymn. Some of the song’s lyrics are:
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
The couple’s quaint porch setting makes the video feel very relaxed and laid back. It’s like you’ve just stepped over to your neighbors in the suburbs or country for a chat or Bible study. It’s very inviting, and it makes you just want to sing along. It’s refreshing to see this couple singing "The Old Rugged Cross.”
The Old Rugged Cross Was Written in 1913
The old hymn was written in 1913 by storied songwriter George Bennard. George was a coal miner turned preacher who worked with the Salvation Army. He got the inspiration for this hymn while reflecting on Christ’s crucifixion. The words came to his head: “I’ll cherish that old rugged cross.”
“I really didn’t write it. I was merely the instrument God used,” George said.
The cross is a symbol we all know well. We should remember it with solidarity, as it is the instrument of our Savior’s death. More than a symbol of mourning, it’s a symbol of sacrifice and love. Because Jesus saved us from all of our sins through his death. We will for eternity be grateful to that old rugged cross.
“Who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
