Within hours of servicing, “One Day” was added to Sirius XM’s Praise channel. Additionally, Janice Gaines has conducted several radio interviews about the single in markets across the nation. The momentum continues to build as people hear, and find healing in, a song that places everything into eternal perspective.

“I’m overwhelmed by the response to this song,” shares Gaines. “It was simply a chorus that blessed me in my quiet time, so it’s incredible to see how it is instantly resonating with people across the country.”

“One Day” is co-written by Gaines, Dwan Hill and Alvin Love III, and is the lead single from Janice Gaines’s debut album, to be released this Fall.

It’s normal and human, but that doesn’t mean it is not meant to be tamed by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord gave me a great visual this week to keep it all in perspective. He showed me that I’m not building the brand of “Janice Gaines.” I’m simply a franchisee of the brand of Jesus Christ. And I don’t want to be one of those rogue franchisees doing my own thing against the policies of the creator of the brand that I’ve willingly bought into. Let’s hold each other accountable, yes?

On “One Day,” Janice Gaines offers a heartwarming and familiar chorus—simple enough for everyone to sing along to—while delivering a vocal performance as beautiful and pure as the eternal world about which she is singing.

“One day, we’ll look back on this life from Heaven,” shares Gaines. “We’ll look at all that we went through down here, and we’ll say ‘Is that it? Is that what we went through?’ And we’ll say that it’s fine with us—that everything God allowed was okay. And it will be beautiful.”

Janice Gaines wrote the familiar refrain of “One Day,” and simply sang it around the house to encourage herself, until she took it to writing partners Alvin Love III and Dwan Hill. The trio completed the song, which was produced by Hill (for Crystal City, Inc.) and Love. The result is a refreshing gospel anthem that stands out and resonates with every heart.

“One Day,” is more than just a song—it’s a musical invitation to rest in the hope of an eternal life void of trials, pain or sorrow. “It’s about taking on the Lord’s perspective, from Heaven,” adds Gaines, “instead of resting in our own understanding.”

I had no idea God was arresting me to pull Leto Himself; I thought I was just going to minister as usual. The ladies were so sweet and the grounds were so beautiful, that I felt like I had registered for the conference as an attendee. It was a great time.

Now, I’m back home, ready to finish all that needs to be done so you guys can hear my new single One Day! Everything is coming together so well. Soon, you’ll be able to request it at your local radio station! I’ll keep you posted….

They lead a weekly Bible study there, and during the Spring, they conduct a women’s conference on the grounds of My Sister’s House. I was so impressed with how things went. It’s definitely long down as one of my favorite times leading worship. The women were so engaged in the songs and their lyrics. I’ve never seen people so excited about their heritage in Jesus. It refreshed me like you’ll never know. I’m going forward with those women in my mind wherever I go.

I don’t want to be fooled like that. Many things this world offers really can trick you into thinking that this is really the place to be. In actuality, Heaven is where we are supposed to be, and we pine for it whether we realize it or not. Plus, I don’t want Jesus to come back, and, in light of how glorious He is, I have to be embarrassed because I was trying to hold on to this filthy, cramped earth, to whose filth I allowed myself to be blinded. I’m just sayin’.

The speaker is God, and He is speaking to the nation of Israel that had been taken captive by Babylon. He’s reassuring them that, in spite of their turning from Him through disobeying Him and having other gods and stuff, He still has a plan for them. In other words, don’t be afraid, because I don’t plan to leave you here.

And the cool thing is, He starts addressing them in this statement by defining who HE is to THEM. He claims to be the one who created AND formed them. Now, this is what gave me pause. I thought, Lord, I know the simple difference between creating and forming, but I kind of need a picture. This is what the Lord gave me, and it’s fitting for the season I’m in:

When I sit down with my brothers (in Christ) Dwan Hill and Alvin Love, III, to write a song, we are more or less using the creativity God has given us to, as much as humanly possible, create something out of nothing. We know in general what we want the song to sound like and what we want its purpose to be.

Now, when it’s time to actually produce the song, I believe we’re doing more “forming.” And in this process, we literally oversee every detail of the song. Even the so-called trivial decisions are intentional. By the time a song has been produced, each layer has been formed, one upon the other, to yield an intended result.

The cool thing is that this is what God has done with each of us. He created humanity because He wanted us and wanted us for a certain purpose. But then, He formed each of us in our mother’s wombs (Psalm 139:13 says so!), detail upon detail. Nothing about us went undecided by God.

Therefore, we should have no fear. Because anyone who has spent this much time on us MUST have a plan that’s worth our while. Be encouraged, guys!

Be encouraged! Love y’all!
