Internationally renowned singer/songwriter and worship music icon, Don Moen (one of our Flashback Friday artists), has released a new song, “Return To Me.”

 The song was written as Don was studying the Bible. Moen says: “God really has our attention these days as we’ve been going through this pandemic. “Return To Me” was written as I was reading from 2 Chronicles 7:14. The verse says that God will heal our land if we turn from our wicked ways. That’s what we need today – we need God to come and heal our land. If we return to Him, He will return to us. That’s my prayer today – for you, for me, and for all of us.” The lyrics of the song call upon the people of God to return to Him, humble themselves and refocus their hearts and priorities on God.

Mac Powell, former frontman of the four-time GRAMMY Award-winning band Third Day, has released his new song, “River of Life.” This song is from his forthcoming solo album. This upbeat anthem is the perfect song as summer begins and has that unmistakable Mac Powell sound.

“It’s interesting that within the medical community the bloodstream is called the ‘River of Life,'” shares Mac Powell. “We as believers know that our TRUE life comes from the grace and mercy of Jesus – poured out from his sacrifice on the cross. In John chapter 4, Jesus shares with the woman at the well – Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Let us all partake in this River of Life that is given by our Savior!”
