RnB / Trap / Pop

When I first heard Jonathan's song I immediately wanted to remix it! I made a bootleg first draft and sent him a clip to see what he would think. Thankfully he liked it and agreed to send me the vocal files for me to make an official remix with. I'm super happy with how it came out and grateful for the chance to work with Jonathan. I love the dude's voice, his style, and the heart for God in his lyrics.


[Intro]
It's gonna be alright
Everything will be alright.

[Verse 1]
You're my faithful friend
When I feel like I'm on my own
(On my own)
You remind my heart
It's darkest right before the dawn
(It's darkest right before the dawn)

[Chorus]
'Cause even in the dead of night
When darkness is on every side
You're telling me to lift my eyes
It's gonna be alright, alright
Suddenly a light will shine
As we're waiting for the morning light
As steady as a new sunrise
It's gonna be alright, alright

[Post-Chorus]
Arise (Arise, arise)
And shine (And shine, and shine)
Arise (Arise, arise)
And shine (And shine, and shine)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's hard sometimes
But I know how the story ends
(I know how the story ends, yeah yeah)
Although this night is long
On Your faithfulness I can depend
(On your faithfulness I can depend)

[Chorus]
'Cause even in the dead of night
When darkness is on every side
You're telling me to lift my eyes
It's gonna be alright, alright
Suddenly a light will shine (yeah yeah)
As we're waiting for the morning light (morning light)
As steady as a new sunrise (yeah yeah)
It's gonna be alright, alright

Even in the dead of night (even in the dead of night)
When darkness is on every side (every side)
You're telling me to lift my eyes (my eyes)
It's gonna be alright, alright (alright)
Suddenly a light will shine (yeah yeah)
As we're waiting for the morning light (yeah yeah)
As steady as a new sunrise (yeah yeah)
It's gonna be alright, alright (alright)

[Outro]
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
everything will be alright

Lost in Love

“Upgrade Your Mind OS” is a sonic system reboot—a meditative blend of mood, message, and momentum. With hypnotic textures and a voice that feels like it’s speaking straight to your subconscious, the track challenges you to question outdated thought patterns and install something sharper, freer, more evolved.

It’s part spoken mantra, part digital soul—floating somewhere between chillwave, experimental R&B, and ambient hip-hop. The beat stays minimal, giving space for the words to land and linger.

Play this when you're leveling up, letting go, or just needing a moment to clear the cache. It's not just a song—it's a mental software update.

Unfailing Love

Unfailing Love (feat. Praise Lubangu)

Beloved

Lyrics:

[Chorus: Chris Howland]
You loved a sinner like me
And I'm a sinner, it's true
But that's not all that You see
You made me perfectly new

Sometimes it's hard to believe
Someone as perfect as You
Could be so patient with me
So I just wanna be with You

You (x4)

[Verse 1: Jake James]
You got every reason to leave me
You don't hold 'em against me
You're mercies new, that's just life with You (uh)
I use You for things that I'm needing
But I'm feeling so empty
I take and choose, it's Your grace abused

And I wanna feel the weight of what You say to me
So You won't have to feel so far away from me
But You say that You've never been away
And You love me just the same

[Chorus: Chris Howland]
You loved a sinner like me
And I'm a sinner, it's true
But that's not all that You see
You made me perfectly new

Sometimes it's hard to believe
Someone as perfect as You
Could be so patient with me
So I just wanna be with You

[Verse 2: Jake James]
Give me Your eyes, mine are tired
Give me Your thoughts and desires
I wanna walk with You, I wanna talk with You
The only one I rely on
I just want to give You all my praise
You took my past with You in that grave

Fallin' into Your love
I'm all in, it's You I want
You always renew my mind, yeah (x2)

[Chorus: Chris Howland]
You loved a sinner like me
And I'm a sinner, it's true
But that's not all that You see
You made me perfectly new

Sometimes it's hard to believe
Someone as perfect as You
Could be so patient with me
So I just wanna be with You

You loved a sinner like me (you)
And I'm a sinner, it's true (you)
But that's not all that You see (you)
You made me perfectly new (You)

Sometimes it's hard to believe (You)
Someone as perfect as You (You)
Could be so patient with me (You)
So I just wanna be with You

You (x4)

With You

Chris Howland x Jake James - With You

This song has been a favorite lately, so I wanted to share something special. Here’s the previous demo ver. of For His Kingdom before it became what it is today! 🤍☺️

Lyrics:

I got his name in my bio
because its love not religion
they see me always rejoicing
thats why they call me a Christian
And I might be indecisive
But there is this one decision
that I’ll never regret
its serving He who is risen
yeah this world’s so ugly
only cares for money
We tell em’ God’s the cure
They say thats really funny
but ain’t no other king thats for sure
and i know he’s so close almost knocking on the door

DEMO_For His Kingdom (sped up 2019)

In 2017 this trio of artists first collaborated on "Way Up", a single which went on to garner millions of streams and receive ample support from Christian radio stations. Now Chris Howland, CASS, and Sajan Nauriyal have teamed up a second time to deliver their 2020 follow up entitled "Clear View", a song about enthusiastically facing the future instead of dwelling on the past or being paralyzed by uncertainty.

Clear View

Chris Howland x CASS x Sajan Nauriyal - Clear View

"Dreamworld is a bittersweet song about growing up and losing sight of childhood dreams. Matthew Parker sings honestly about the disparity between the rosy optimism of youth and the not-so-rosy realism we experience as adults. But the song holds out warm flickers of hope as it repeatedly circles back to the lyric "It's not over yet, I've still got 2 wishes left." On the production, Howland has soft acoustic guitars meet with modern 808's and somehow makes them get along like the best of friends. It's really quite dreamy."

Wavy new collab with Mid November and Sajan Nauriyal! I've been loving some of the sounds I'm hearing in newer Trap / Hip-Hop / RnB music, so I wanted to bring a bit of that style to this remix. I know it can be a challenge to find Christian music that hits the same way as secular music does in terms of sheer production quality. I'm really trying my best to make music that can edify people in their walk with God while still getting them to make a stank face and bob their head. That's the mission. 

Do me a favor? If you use Spotify and enjoyed this song, simply add it to one of your playlists. It helps a lot!
