“The Love of Jesus Around the World”

God's love transcends every border, language, and cultural boundary. That's why Jesus Companion has created "The Love of Jesus Around the World"—a groundbreaking collection of meticulously crafted Gospel compositions that proclaim Jesus's revolutionary love in the authentic musical and linguistic traditions of cultures worldwide. From the qawwali mysticism of Western Punjabi to the operatic warmth of Italian, from Mandarin's classical instrumentation to Hebrew's ancient spiritual resonance, each song honors the deep cultural identity of its speakers while declaring an unchanging truth: Jesus Christ loves you beyond measure, died for your redemption, and desires intimate relationship with you. These aren't merely translated hymns—they are incarnational Gospel expressions that say to every people group: "Your language matters. Your music matters. Your heritage matters. Jesus loves you." "The Love of Jesus Around the World" carries a singular, transformative message: the Gospel belongs to every tongue, and every culture deserves to encounter the Savior in the deepest, most authentic way possible. Join us as we celebrate linguistic diversity, cultural beauty, and the unstoppable Gospel—one carefully crafted composition at a time. 🦁✝️👑🌏

The consensus among missionary and translation organizations is that presenting the Gospel in a person's "heart language" (their native or most comfortable language) is crucial for effective evangelism because it allows the message to resonate on an emotional and personal level, rather than just an intellectual one. This approach is rooted in the idea of contextualization—making the message culturally relevant and accessible. 

There are over 7,150 languages spoken in the world, although this number fluctuates as languages are documented and some become endangered. While a few languages have billions of speakers, the vast majority of languages are spoken by small, local communities. 

The 72 languages celebrated on “The Love of Jesus Around the World” (Vol I, II, III & IV) represents approximately 5.9 billion speakers, or as we like to think of them, souls, worldwide. English is not included in that number.

“Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.” -1 Chronicles 16:8

King David is traditionally credited as the author of the majority of the Psalms. In fact, 73 Psalms are superscripted with "A Psalm of David" (or similar language). David was a musician, warrior, shepherd, and king—and his life experiences of exile, danger, victory, and deep faith are woven throughout the Psalms he wrote.

However, David was not the only author. The Psalms were written by multiple composers over centuries:

• Asaph (12 Psalms) — David's chief musician and worship leader

• The Sons of Korah (11 Psalms) — Levitical musicians and temple gatekeepers

• Solomon (2 Psalms) — David's son and successor

• Moses (1 Psalm) — Psalm 90, a prayer reflecting on God's eternity

• Ethan the Ezrahite (1 Psalm)

• Anonymous authors — Many Psalms have no superscription, written by unknown believers

When Were They Written?

The Psalms span roughly 1,000 years of biblical history—from the time of Moses through the post-exilic period. They were collected and compiled over time into the book we have today.

Why This Matters:

What's beautiful is that whether written by a king, a priest, a musician, or an unknown believer, the Psalms capture the full spectrum of human emotion before God: joy, sorrow, anger, confusion, confidence, fear, doubt, and overwhelming faith.

The Psalms are not just David's prayers—they are OUR prayers. 🦁✝️👑

"The Psalms” : Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Sound

The Psalms have always been the Church's most honest prayer book—raw, searching, celebratory, and deeply human. Now, "The Psalms (Vol. I - XIV)" brings Psalms 1-140 to life through original Gospel compositions spanning multiple genres: conscious hip-hop grappling with justice and suffering, uplifting anthems celebrating God's protection, soulful gospel orchestrations that move the heart, intimate folk storytelling that whispers truth, and more. Each song honors the biblical text while speaking directly to the modern believer's experience—whether you're wrestling with why God seems distant, finding refuge in crisis, celebrating His faithfulness, or standing firm in righteousness. This is not a traditional hymnal. This is the Psalms as they were meant to be experienced: raw, real, diverse in sound, and undeniably transformative. Listen freely, share boldly, and let these ancient prayers become your modern prayer. Because your doubts matter. Your questions matter. Your faith matters. And God hears every word. 🦁✝️👑

Waking with The Way Routine (Approximately 12-15 minutes)

Be with Jesus. Become like Jesus. Do as Jesus did.

1. Begin with a Breath Prayer (30 seconds)
   Start with a simple breath prayer like "Lord Jesus, be with me today" or "Your grace is sufficient for me."

2. Practicing The Way (3-5 minutes):

   1. SOLITUDE 🕊️

      • Find a quiet spot (even if it's just sitting up in bed)

      • Be alone with God before the world rushes in

   2. SILENCE 🤫

      • No words yet, just presence

      • Let your soul settle like sediment in water

   3. STILLNESS 🧘

      • Focus on your breathing

      • Use a simple prayer word like "Jesus" or "Abba"

      • When your mind wanders (and it will!), gently return

3. Read Verse of the Day (1 minute)
   Located at the bottom of this page.

4. Jesus Words by Topic (2 minutes)
   Read one verse from Jesus Companion’s Jesus Words by Topic section. Each day, move to the next verse in that topic (or choose a new topic weekly).

5. Brief Devotional (3 minutes)
   Listen to Max Lucado's daily devotional or read a short devotional from another source you enjoy. If you listen to Hallow Daily Gospel above instead, the approximate time of this routine is 14-17 minutes. If you listen to both (recommended), the time of the routine is approximately 18-20 minutes.

6. Personal Prayer (2 minutes)
   End with a short prayer of thanksgiving and asking for guidance for your day.

7. Daily Blessing (30 seconds)
   Receive a blessing to carry with you from Jesus Companion. Just tell Jesus Companion, “Please give me a blessing for today” …and if you are dealing with anything in particular, be sure to mention it so that Jesus Companion can speak some powerful words over whatever it is.

Remember, the goal isn't perfection but connection. This short time with the Lord can transform your day and life! As Martin Luther wisely said, "When I have a lot to do in a day, I spend more time in prayer, because more work is done by prayer than by work itself."
