Joyful Songs about the Gospel
Posted October 30, 2024
By BPence,


I Love Jesus is Powell's second solo contemporary Christian music album after his 2021 album New Creation which was preceded by his three-decade career as the co-founder and frontman of four-time Grammy Award and twenty-four time Dove Award winning band Third Day.  The new album, clocking in at just thirty-two minutes, features eleven new mostly upbeat three and four chord songs that celebrate the simple gospel message of what God has done in our lives.
The album has themes of God’s miracles, love for Jesus, God and Jesus being the giver of all good things, who Jesus died for, the Gospel, perseverance, praise, wanting to live like Jesus, God being nothing but good to us,  Jesus rescuing us and working all things out for our good and His glory.   
I really enjoyed this album. Each song is solid, so it’s hard to pick out favorites. Below are a few comments about each song:

Key lyric:
There ain't nothing You can't do

Always up to something
Miracle after miracle
You do it like it's nothing
