Today, let’s look at the nominations for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song. I used to be much more tuned in to this category. I’m familiar with Kirk Franklin and CeCe Winans, but the other nomineed performers are new to me.

We Win, performed by Kirk Franklin and Lil Baby; Kirk Franklin, Dominique Jones, Cynthia Nunn and Justin Smith, songwriters. This song was written for the new Space Jam movie:

Hold Us Together (Hope Mix) performed by H.E.R. and Tauren Wells; Josiah Bassey, Dernst Emile and H.E.R., songwriters

Man of Your Word performed by Chandler Moore and KJ Scriven; Jonathan Jay, Nathan Jess and Chandler Moore, songwriters. I have reservations about Christian worship songs that repeat one or two phrases ad infinitim:

Believe For It performed by CeCe Winans; Dwan Hill, Kyle Lee, CeCe Winans and Mitch Wong, songwriters. Oh my, toward the end, this song is very much like Man of Your Word in that the same words are repeated over and over:

Jireh performed by Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music featuring Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine; Chris Brown, Steven Furtick, Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine, songwriters:

These are all wonderful performances with beautiful vocal harmonies, but the one that gives me chills is Jireh, though I could do without the repetitive ending. Jireh’s my pick.
