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

Jonathan Ogden x Chris Howland - Alright (Remix)

Joyful Melody is a song of rejoicing for God's profound forgiveness. There are 2 main verses that are referenced in the lyrics. The first comes from Micah 7:19, where it says "You will cast all our sins to the depths of the sea" and the second reference is from Psalm 103:12, which says "as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us." ..If you reflect on the fact that Jesus cancels our sin-debt so completely, you can't help but offer Him thanksgiving and song! Or as Psalm 95:1 says, "Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!"

LYRICS:
[Verse]
All this time I felt so hollow
Running circles everywhere
Never had a place to call home
Then You came to save the day

[Chorus]
You're the One I follow
Follow anywhere
You kill all my sorrow
Showing me the Way

You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. - Psalm 32:7 (NASB95)

This trio of artists are back with a freshly reimagined version of their past collaboration, and this time “Hiding Place” has got an entirely different mood and sound. The original version involved an electronic and playful style, which was well-received and garnered over 2 million streams. But this latest version has a distinctly acoustic and vulnerable quality, which can hopefully allow people to connect with the lyrics in a new way. At it’s heart, the song speaks about running to God as the place of safety, refuge, protection, and peace.

Hiding Place (Reimagined)

Chris Howland x Hyper Fenton x Sajan Nauriyal - Hiding Place (Reimagined)

LYRICS:
Wanna follow Your will
Wanna hear what You're telling me
Gotta stick to the plan
The plan that You have for me
So I'll seek Your face, yeah
Every single day
I need You to be my foundation
Without You I feel heady laden
But You made me a new creation
I need You to help me believe it
In these moments I feel so defeated
But I know You, and I know You're for me
I know Your love restores me
My life is for Your glory
Your love transformed me Lord
Your love transformed me
It's the way You loved me to You

It's the way You loved me to You
It's the way You loved me to You
It's the way You loved me to You

The way that You love me
Is so indescribable
Heal and restore the hearts
Is what Your love can do
Them moments when I'm feeling down
Wondering what I would do
You're right there by my side
Holding me all in Your arms
Telling me that it's OK
Ain't no other option
But that you trust and believe
In the promise You made me
No matter how long it takes
You ain't like the fathers on earth
When it gets hard most of them walk away
You always been there removing all of the fear
I start to fear when I'm scared
Of letting you down
But You let me know I can never let You down
Lord You've been so good to me
I don't deserve the love that You give to me
But there's something 
Inside the love You pour into me
That boosts up my confidence
And helps me see myself as the son that I am
Oh yeah
It's the way you loved me to You

It's the way you loved me to You
It's the way you loved me to You
It's the way you loved me to You

Mm mm mm, hey yeah
Mm mm mm, yeah

You Loved Me To You

Drew Ava x Chris Howland x Azeekah - You Loved Me To You

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”

sxxnt. x Chris Howland x Melody Lynn - Your Voice

I had an absolute blast working on this remix for Joel. The vocals provided instant inspiration, which made it easy and exciting to run wild with ideas. I took this one in a future bass/chill trap direction, because these genres feel like they facilitate a good blend of both interesting, energetic sounds AND emotive melodic content. I adore working with vocals and doing remixes, so if you're ever looking for someone to add a different feel to one of your tracks, please feel free to contact me at ProductionResume@yahoo.com - Cheers!

And I'm not trippin, no way

Verse-
I know that life moves so fast,
So my eyes are fixed on you God

Gotta let go, and let God take control

I know this time I spend here
Is only temporary
So I will trust in You God,
Though down these roads are scary

Behold the beauty of our king

Really had fun working with these amazing vocals from Elevation Youth! Hope you enjoy this remix :) Grace & Peace

Elevation Youth - No Pressure (Chris Howland RMX)

This song is about crying out to God when your soul feels dry...when life is hard and God seems far away. It's about remembering that, even in those moments, God hears you when you come to him in prayer with a humble and contrite spirit. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." - Psalms 51:17

Lyrics-

VERSE 1:
Could You cause me to wonder again? (Cause me to wonder again) Could You draw me in?(Draw me in)
'Cause I feel like I've drifted so far (Feels like I've drifted so far)
Take me back to the place where You are (Won't You take me back)

PRE-CHORUS:
I just need to feel You near me Feels like I'm disappearing But I know You hear me Lord Yes I know You hear me

CHORUS:
You've come to my rescue before
So won't You please save me once more I know I can always be sure
I know that You hear me oh Lord
You've come to my rescue before So won't you please save me
Oh, I know, I know I can always be sure I know that You hear me oh Lord

VERSE 2:
I'm giving You all of my sin (Giving You all of my sin)
I'm letting You cleanse me within (Make me clean from within)
I'm giving You my wicked heart (Giving You my wicked heart)
Take me back to the place where You are (Won't You take me back)

CHORUS:
You've come to my rescue before
So won't You please save me once more I know I can always be sure
I know that You hear me oh Lord
You've come to my rescue before
So won't You please save me once more I know I can always be sure
I know that You hear me oh Lord

The early version of close to you with me on vocals. SO much pitch correction, haha

Close To You (Demo with me singing instead of Eris lol)

this song makes me feel something that's hard to find words for. it has a very bittersweet quality to it...i think that's why i like it so much. it captures a very real sentiment that has been with me for many years...which is that mostly everything is temporary, but the temporariness makes it beautiful. and sad. but beautiful.

Had fun trying something a little different on this sort of Lo-Fi R&P track. Initially I was uncertain about who would fit on such an obscure instrumental. But Austin Sebek from Splendor Tree was adventurous enough to jump right onto this and bring it into a direction that sounds so smooth and natural. And adding that lovely soulful quality that she always brings, Sarah Juers graces this track with her own vocal touches, which are the perfect finishing compliments to the vibe that Austin started. Out now on The Amen Collective!

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

New track with @bouemusic and @midnovember - go follow dem boys!

Lyrics:

[Verse 1] 
In all my wandering, You still find me 
When sin is conquering, You remind me that 
I'm Your child, You care for me 
All the while, you were there for me 
I can come back whenever I'm done 
With the mess that I made, I run back to Your love 
I've come back to Your love 

[Chorus] 
Ooh, I'm feelin' so sublime 
When I think about all You've done for me 
Ooh, until the end of time 
I'll be singin' bout all Your love for me

Sublime

BOUE x Chris Howland x Mid November - Sublime

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

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!
