We are thrilled to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Paul Wilbur‘s ‘Holy Fire’ album with a Deluxe edition!

The title track, ‘Holy Fire’, came to Wilbur in a dream. As he woke up and wrote the lyrics to the song, the rest of the album followed. ‘Holy Fire’ is still relevant for the church today, bringing songs of revival and passion for us to carry into the next twenty-five years and beyond.

NEW INTEGRITY MUSIC RELEASES : Friday 25th September 2020

Unbroken Family, Sarah Kroger‘s new single featuring Matt Maher was written in 2018 as a batch of sexual scandals in the Catholic church surfaced: “We were hurt, angry, and confused. We wrote this song because we needed to sing it. We wrote it as an honest prayer for a reality that we believed was possible: that we would be a part of an unbroken family,” Sarah explains. Dare we dream that God can restore all things and make them new? Dare we dream that we could be an unbroken family? Colossians 1 says: “In Him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church… For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile all things for him, making peace by the blood of his cross.” Rather than believe we are broken and everything we touch will break, we can believe that God is making us whole. Even more, He wants to use us to bring wholeness and restoration to the people we meet and walk with.

 

RESISTANCE is a movement involving various young singers and songwriters in the French speaking world.

RESISTANCE thrived into a dynamic, multifaceted experience and is now releasing its first single, ‘Jehovah’, written by Jessy Elsa Palma. The Paris-based soul pop singer-songwriter penned this song as the truth of God’s wonder re-energised her in the midst of difficult times. In the current circumstances, it’s crucial to remind ourselves of the goodness of God. Despite the hardship, doubt and confusion life can bring, God is always present. He is Jehovah, our Lord worthy of all praise.
