New music: Christopher Mann – Or (Light)

Image
Shalom, Messianic music fans. Before 2015 comes to a close, we’ve added a brand new album to the station: Christopher Mann – Or (Light) This is a brand new album released just the other week. Christopher generously sent the album to us for play on Chavah Messianic Radio – hallelu, thanks Christopher! This is Christopher’s second album on Chavah. His first album, Keren Yeshua (Horn of Salvation) , has been very well received, with several songs ranked highly by you Chavah fans. Fine Chavah fans, would you bless Christopher by purchasing his album ? This supports Messiah’s musicians, and I believe it’s encumbent on us to do so as a mitzvah to further God’s kingdom. Blessings to Christopher for contributing his music on Chavah, and blessings to you, fine Chavah fans, for supporting him by purchasing his music .

Chavah..and Christmas music?

Image
Shalom, folks. I received an email from Chavah listener Marie G. this week. She heard a song that started off in Hebrew…then ended in a Christmas song! The song she heard was Marty Goetz - Maoz Tzur / Hark the Herald Angels Sing . It’s a traditional Hanukkah song, Maoz Tzur, blended with the old hymnal, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, the familiar old Christmas hymn. In her letter, which was respectful and reasoned, Marie told me, “…it is difficult to be apart from the world during Christmas time…please don’t play Christmas music on Chavah.” She’s not the first person to tell me this. Every year, it seems, I get letters from folks saying that. The truth is, I’m not playing Christmas music on Chavah. Rather, there are some songs on Chavah that contain music we associate with Christmas, but by themselves contain nothing objectionable. For example, “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” is associated with Christmas, but in itself is a Biblical plea for Messiah’s return. It’s opening lines petition ...

Giving Thanks: David W.

Listener David W. writes in, I just wanted to drop you a brief line, to tell you how Chavah Messianic Radio has been encouraging me recently. As you know my college hasn't been a very easy time, and things aren't really improving that much.  Most of the time I'm very stressed, having trouble sleeping, which doesn't help when I'm taking exams.  I'm always telling God that I can't take any more, and all that seems to happen is that I get pushed harder.  But I always knew that God was there. I recently discovered the singers Lenny & Varda Harris on your station, and on Monday night, I was skipping through a few of the songs of theirs that you had.  I as looking for The Wilderness Song , as when I heard it last it seemed to mirror how I was feeling but promised that God would restore me. While looking I found another one, which helped me even more.  It was a Lenny & Varda Harris song again, it's called I Do , and I think it's about the marria...

Shalom, Messianic music fans. I’ve got some fresh new music contributed by a musician who also happens to be a Chavah Messianic Radio fan. Two new albums from her: Leorah – Ketz Ha Yamim And her second album: Leorah – A Covenant Place Leorah writes, Shalom from Australia, I was looking for some Messianic songs to play today and came across your site which has really caught my attention and wow! How wonderful to be able to avail of such worship songs. Would you be interested in the two albums I have been "given" to write and produce & sing? I have sheet music as well. There are two albums given to me at the ages of 60 & 65 (I am still singing) They are named 'Ketz Ha Yamim" & "A Covenant Place" Love to know what kinda feedback you get from listeners. Ketz ha Yamim was written under my stage name of Ricci Carr. However our Heavenly Father bid me return to my birth name of Lorraine (Leorah) for His Scriptural work. it has all been given ...

New music: Micha’el Ben David – Hope & The Spirit of Grace

Image
Here is something to increase your joy this shabbat. New music from our holy brother in Israel: Micha'el Ben David - Hope & The Spirit of Grace Veteran Chavah fans know that Micha’el Ben David’s music is some of the highest ranked on Chavah. In fact, at the time of this writing, his song Sh’ma Yisrael is the #9 highest ranked song of all the music on Chavah, weighing in at a cool +601. This new album, I believe, will likewise be a hit with you fine listeners. So much joy on this album! From songs like El Shaddai Mi Kamocha – which has become a classic song we sing at my congregation – to psalms that uplift like Ivdu Et HaShem , I consider Hope & The Spirit of Grace to be one of the best albums Micha’el has put for to-date. Micha'el is a light for Messiah in the Holy Land and in the nations, and a personal friend of mine. Please support Messiah's musicians by purchasing his new album at EmetZionMusic.com . Thank you, and enjoy the music for the Lord!

New music: Ben Tzion and Tali Waller – Psalms of Ascent

Image
Shalom, Messianic music aficionados! Time for some new music, nu? We’ve added to Chavah Messianic Radio a beautiful album by a Messianic couple living in the holy land: Ben Tzion and Tali Waller – Psalms of Ascent Ben Tzion and Tali describe the new album like this: Shortly after our daughter Yael was born, we put Psalm 133 to music, and that was the beginning of this journey. Over the next two years our journey brought us to Jerusalem for several months. There is a spiritual depth to Jerusalem that sets it apart from every other city in the world. As we walked its ancient streets and met its many faces, we began to understand why David’s heart was drawn to this city. As our hearts grew closer to this holy place, these Psalms began to take on a more significant meaning. We continued working on the Psalms, at the same time realizing the importance of singing them in their original language. “We began to understand why David’s heart was drawn to this city…” The Psalms of Ascent (Ps...

Giving thanks: David W.

Just got this message of thanks from David W. Really encouraging! Shalom Judah My name is David W. and I live in the UK.  Although you don't know me, I'm writing this with your station Chavah Messianic Radio playing in the background.  I'm not actually supposed to write with it playing, because I'm totally blind and partially deaf.  This means I'm supposed to listen to my computer's speech system, and it's not always a good idea to do this with Music coming out of the speakers at the same time, but I'm afraid it's pretty irresistible. I wanted to write, and tell you how much I love listening to your radio station.  I came across it by accident two days ago, when I was looking for a messianic dating website.  Yes I know that sounds incongruous, but the only website I found didn't' work, so out of frustration I gave up and googled Messianic Music, and found your website.   It is wonderful, both because when I entered it, the music started p...

Giving thanks: Lori S.

Chavah listener Lori S. wrote something really encouraging today, friends, a true story inspired by Messiah’s music. Here’s what she had to say: I love listening to Chavah Messianic Radio. Today your station blessed a nursing home in Florida. A Jewish lady comes to the nursing home service that I attend on Wednesday. Today, she was feeling sad, and the chaplain spoke to her about the importance of her Jewish heritage. Then I suggested that we sing the Sh'ma. I knew it because I listen to it all the time via your station. Next week we are going to learn how to sing it so we can sing it regularly. After the service we encountered a new patient. I asked her if she would like to come to church next week. She said, "I don't go to church, I go to temple." I told her that I LOVED Jewish things. Then I asked her if she knew the Sh'ma. She sang it with me. Then the chaplain came by and she sang it to him too. That opened the door to a wonderful conversation between the tw...
