Holland Davis on the Harvest Show

I was recently invited to be on The Harvest Show… a Christian news show based in South Bend, Indiana.  It is part of LeSea.org which is one of the largest Christian media companies in the United States.  They cover everything from radio, shortwave radio, internet, direct TV, satellite, cable… you name it they do it!!!  One of the cool benefits is that we get to meet a lot of cool people along the way.  Also featured on the show is an author by the name of Paul Miller.  He’s written an amazing book on prayer.  Here is a link to the show that I was interviewed on.  Check it out…  Harvest Show – Let It Rise Interview

Still Rising!!!

I just learned today that Let It Rise has cracked through the top 50 CCLI Songs. It’s so amazing to see how God is using this simple little song that began as a spontaneous song that was first introduced at Calvary Chapel Point Loma during their Wednesday night Bible Study in a coffee shop located right on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach.

I want to give a shout out to Jeremy Redmond and Big Daddy Weave for bringing this song into the new millennium. I also want to give a shout out to William Murphy for bringing this song into the gospel community. His version went to # 1 on the gospel charts and helped open an entirely new audience. William Murphy was able to capture the desperation and heart cry of the song. I also want to give a shout out to 21:03 and PAJAM for putting out one of the most original gospel versions of Let It Rise to date. It’s available on Maranatha! Music’s Top 25 Gospel Praise. Finally, I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank the worship leader that introduced Let It Rise to the world…. Paul Baloche.

I have so many versions of this song… that I’ve made a little side hobby of collecting everyone’s version of the song. If you have a version of Let It Rise… I’d love to hear it!!! Please email it to hollanddavis@gmail.com.

Let It Rise Featured On Heart Of Worship

Don Buettner is the program director for Star 88.3 in Fort Wayne, Indiana and the producer for the most listened to radio program for Praise and Worship called The Heart Of Worship. Several weeks ago I started to receive a stream of emails that said something like…. “Don Buettner is looking for Holland Davis… does anyone know how to contact him.” Long story short… Big Daddy Weave recorded a rockin’ version of Let It Rise that went to # 3 on the Christian radio charts nationwide. So, Don wanted to feature the story behind the song Let It Rise. To hear it… check out the Heart of Worship website.

ASCAP Christian Music Award

I had one of the most interesting experiences of my life happen. I was in Nashville to win an award for “Let It Rise.” Big Daddy Weave released an amazing version of “Let It Rise” in the fall of 2006 and it went to # 3 on the radio charts making is one of the 25 most played songs in 2006.

It was a great evening of music. One of the highlights was a “lifetime achievement” award given to DeGarmo and Key for their contribution as pioneers in Christian Music. They played a mini-set of some of their hits and it rocked!!!

Chris Tomlin won Christian Songwriter of the Year. EMI won Christian Music Publisher of the Year. Roxie and I sat next to Ross Parsley and John Eagen who also won an award for “I Am Free.” It was also good to catch up with some folks that I don’t get to see as often like – Chris Tomlin and David and Toni Crowder. I also got to meet Shelly Giglio – Louie Giglio’s wife.

I’m really grateful to the Jeremy Redmond who had the vision to record “Let It Rise” in a new and fresh way. What a humbling experience to see God’s favor on something – it really has had nothing to do with me – it’s all God.

One other thing I noticed was the large number of worship songs that were winning awards. It’s amazing how true the scriptures are when they say – if you lift me up, I will draw all men to myself.
