Andrew Ripp - I'd Do It Again

KJIL RADIO — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:00:00 +0000

New this week on KJIL, and perfect for Holy Week, it's Andrew Ripp's "I'd Do It Again!"

LYRICS:

I still remember the bread and the wine Knowin' that I'd soon give up My life The ache of betrayal, the kiss of a friend Child, if I had to, I'd do it again

I still remember the sting of the thorns Weight of the cross that My shoulders bore The sound of the nails when they pierced through My skin And, child, if I had to, I'd do it again

'Cause there's no distance too far No pain too great There's no grave too dark No hell I won't face The proof that it's finished Is here in My hands I know I don't have to, child But, oh, for you, I'd do it again

Oh, I still remember the spear in My side And the last thing I said before I died And, "Father, forgive them, " as I took on their sin And, child, if I had to, I'd do it again

And again, and again I'd do it again, and again, and again Want you to know-oh-oh I love you that much, I love you that much Want you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh

I still remember that very first breath While the rest of the world still thought I was dead The weight of the stone and the light that poured in Death is defeated forever, amen

Jamie MacDonald - Ain't No Way

KJIL RADIO — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 12:17:00 +0000

New this week on KJIL, it's Jamie MacDonald's "Aint No Way."

LYRICS:
Every story told that ended with a miracle Started out with "impossible" And every time that God has led me through an open door Started out with my knees on the floor

Seeing what I'm up against I've never been more confident There ain't no way

Ain't no way That He's gonna let me down Ain't no way There ain't no shadow of a doubt My God has got a history of showing up for me Ain't no way, no how, is He gonna fail me now Ain't no way, no how, is He gonna fail me now

Looking back on every battle that He's won for me Tell me, how could I not believe? No matter what I face, I know He's gonna make a way Hallelujah, my God don't change

Ain't no way (no way) That He's gonna let me down Ain't no way (no way) There ain't no shadow of a doubt My God has got a history of showing up for me Ain't no way, no how, is He gonna fail me now

No way, no how, is He gonna fail me now No way, no how, is He gonna fail me now No way, no how, is He gonna fail me now No way, no how, no how

Ain't no way That He's gonna let me down Ain't no way There ain't no shadow of a doubt My God has got a history of showing up for me Ain't no way, no how, is He gonna fail me now

Ain't no way, no how (no way, now how) Is He gonna fail me now (is He gonna fail me now) Ain't no way, no how (no way, no how), is He gonna fail me now (is He gonna fail me now) Ain't no way, no how (no way, no how), is He gonna fail me now (is He gonna fail me now) Ain't no way, no how (no way, no how), is He gonna fail me now

Matthew West - Good

KJIL RADIO — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 10:30:31 +0000

New this week on KJIL, it's Matthew West's "Good!"

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
I used to think grace was a ladder
Every sinner had to climb
If only I could just do better
I could earn it over time
Tried to work my way to good
Trouble is I never could
But then You showed me
Just exactly how grace works

[Chorus]
I’m good at always falling down
You’re good at never giving up
I’m good at getting turned around
You’re good at saying I’m still loved
And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I’m not loved because I’m worthy
I’m loved because You’re good

[Verse 2]
I think Paul wrote the book of Romans
For people just like me
For all the beat up and the broken
Who need to know that grace is free
Why do I do the things I shouldn’t
And I don’t do the things I should
That’s just the proof
You’re the only part of me
That’s good

[Chorus]
I’m good at always falling down
You’re good at never giving up
I’m good at getting turned around
You’re good at saying I’m still loved
And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I’m not loved because I’m worthy
I’m loved because You’re good

[Bridge]
Loved because You’re God
I’m loved because You’re faithful to me even when I’m not
Oh God You are so good
When there’s nothing good in me
Just a grateful sinner saved by You
Is all I have to be

[Chorus]
I’m good at always falling down
You’re good at never giving up
I’m good at getting turned around
You’re good at saying I’m still loved
And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I’m not loved because I’m worthy
I’m loved because You’re good

[Bridge 2]
Loved because You’re God
I’m loved because You’re faithful to me even when I’m not
Oh God You are so good
When there’s nothing good in me
Just a grateful sinner saved by You
Is all I have to be

[Outro]
And I was wrecked by mercy
The day I understood
I’m not loved because I’m worthy
I’m loved because You’re good

LYRICS:

This is the moment where everything turns Didn't think I would see it, was hard to believe Heaven crashes to Earth I've read the stories of all that You've done Parted the sea and set captives free Never thought I'd be one

I am a living, breathing, walking testimony I am the living proof of what the Lord has done May call it crazy, but they can't take away my story 'Cause I am a living, breathing, walking testimony

They said I wouldn't make it, that I should give up But they didn't know that the God that I serve is more than enough He can move mountains, He can make broken beautiful I never run out of hope when I run to the God of miracles

I am a living, breathing, walking testimony I am the living proof of what the Lord has done May call it crazy, but they can't take away my story 'Cause I am a living, breathing, walking testimony

Look what the Lord has done (what the Lord has done) Look what the Lord has done (what the Lord has done) Oh, the enemy did what he could But the Lord, He has used it for good Oh, look what the Lord has done (what the Lord has done) Oh, look what the Lord has done (what the Lord has done) When the thief tried to steal and destroy The Lord gave me an anthem of joy, yeah

I am a living, breathing, walking testimony I am the living proof of what the Lord has done May call it crazy, but they can't take away my story, oh 'Cause I am a living, breathing, walking testimony, yeah

'Cause I am a living, breathing, walking testimony

Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I just keep pretending And I'm slowly going out of my mind And I (and I), I feel like you (I feel like you) could be the one Who would catch me when my wings won't fly

Would you lift me up? Would you lift me up? When the world gets cold And it's all too much Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of, oh

When I'm breaking down Running low on love Need a hand to hold Wanna feel your touch Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of, hmm-mm And lift me up

I've been acting Like a brave heart I've been playing All their favorite parts But it's been heavy on my bones It's been weary on my soul

Would you lift me up? Would you lift me up? When the world gets cold And it's all too much Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of, oh

When I'm breaking down Running low on love Need a hand to hold Wanna feel your touch Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of, hmm And lift me up

Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh And lift me up Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Would you lift me up? Would you lift me up? When the world gets cold And it's all too much Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of, oh

When the world gets cold And it's all too much Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of, hmm

When I'm breaking down Running low on love (Need a hand to hold) Wanna feel your touch Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of, oh And lift me up

Lyrics

My heart belongs to a country and a King Of a land I've always known but I've never seen Some call it paradise or the land of the living Well, I call it home and I'm homesick for Heaven

I wanna walk with Moses on streets of gold And dance with David before Your throne To thank You face to face for the grace You've given I wanna see my children run into Your arms And worship the Savior who wears my scars There's an ache in my heart I'm homesick for Heaven

In my Father's house there are many rooms Enough for everyone, enough for you I know it takes some faith but today you can know without question Believe in the power of Jesus' name and you're going to Heaven, oh, oh Hallelujah, in Jesus' name we're going to Heaven

No more fear, no more pain Every tear wiped away Crying Holy, Holy Every knee on the floor Every voice evermore Crying Holy, Holy, yeah Oh, I wanna go home Oh, I wanna go home

To see the ones I love, who've gone before When death is a memory and tears are no more To hear the angels praise, can you even imagine

I'll run as fast as I can into Your arms 'Cause I was created to be where You are There's an ache in my heart I'm homesick for Heaven There's an ache in my heart I'm homesick for Heaven There's an ache in my heart I'm homesick for Heaven

KJIL 12 Songs Of Christmas

KJIL RADIO — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 19:10:00 +0000

Ever wonder what the DJs of KJIL's favorite Christmas Song are? Well, now you can know!

Michael – Smalltown Poets - Good Christian Men Rejoice – It’s joyful and celebrates the reason Christ came to earth.

Delvin - Almost There by Michael W Smith and Amy Grant - Every time I hear it, I can envision Joseph and Mary on their journey. It also reminds me of when my kids were little on long family trips, asking how much longer we had to be in the car before we reached our destination. I can hear myself saying "we're almost there."

Blake – We Three Kings – Rend Collective - It's one of my favorite hymns, and my first solo at church was in 1996, when I sang verse 2!

Linda – Mary Did You Know – Danny Gokey - It’s made me wonder what must have filled Mary’s heart as she carried the Christ Child. Danny Gokey shares her story so beautifully. And as I think about her faith, I’m reminded of the angel’s words: “For nothing will be impossible with God.” — Luke 1:37

Patrick – How Many Kings – Downhere – their whole Christmas album is one of my favorites for the Christmas season. This song is a reminder to me of the sacrifice that God made in sending his son, Jesus for you and me. It’s a powerful song that speaks to me even outside of the Christmas season.

Craig – For King and Country – Little Drummer Boy - There’s just something about the way they build that song — all the rhythm, the energy, the heartbeat of it. It feels like the little drummer boy is giving the only gift he has, and somehow it becomes this huge, powerful moment. Every time I hear it, it reminds me that God isn’t asking for perfection… just whatever we have to offer.

Lisa - Terrian - God With Us - The promise of Christmas is simple yet, oh so powerful. God is with us! Scripture tells us that Jesus came as Emmanuel, which means God with us. So in every season, in every joy, in every heartache, and in every challenge. We are never alone in Jesus.

Mark – Maverick City Music – Oh Holy Night - This song triggers memories of being a kid and knowing about Jesus and just liking the song as part of the Christmas season.. As an adult after salvation and becoming a Jesus follower, the song came alive and truly speaks the truth of how and why He came to me. I know God loves the singer way more than the song, but you’ve got to admit it is truly an incredible song!

Nick – Band Jaren - Carol of the Bells – I love the song Carol of the Bells for the many ways it has been arranged from classical to rock. I spent many years through high school and for 12 years after singing in various choirs. The vocal arrangements to mimic the bell sounds and the sometimes dissonant harmonies were spectacular to sing. However, there's a side of me that likes to turn up the intensity and listen to arrangements like.

Tonya - Make Room -Casting Crowns - Christmas always brings me back to the incredible love God has for us, and this song captures that message so beautifully. Every time it plays, I can’t help but pause, close my eyes, and sing along. It’s become one of those songs that gently pulls my heart back to the true meaning of the season, making room for Jesus in the middle of all the noise and reminding me why this time of year is so special.

Joe - Meredith Andrews - He Has Come For Us - Christmas music is all about nostalgia and that's what this song is for me. This song was released in 2009... and at the time, my daughter was just 1 and as a young family, we were looking for new Christmas traditions to make our own. Meredith was a musician that I had gotten to know over the years, and really loved the voice that God had given to her. So when this song came out, it just struck me with its powerful lyrics. And when I played it for my wife, she fell in love with it too. And from then on, it's become an annual Christmas favorite for my family. Now my daughter is 17 and about to graduate high school and I think she'll take this song with her as a reminder of a tradition that our family listened to every Christmas.

Engineer James - Rockin Around the Christmas Tree - MercyMe - I love Christmas music. I love the joy, the crisp bite in the air, and the happiness the celebration of the Christ child brings, unifying not just our country but the entire world. And, most of all, I love the "sentimental feeling" expressed in the song that comes from the celebration each year. Rockin' around the Christmas tree, like no other song, brings that sentimental feeling because it instantly brings to mind everything that Christmas stands for. It can be the hottest day of summer and just a couple notes of the song can transport me back in time to the joy and delight, both of a celebration of family, and a celebration of the best gift that I've ever been given...Jesus Christ.

KJIL RADIO — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 17:05:10 +0000

LYRICS:

Get a house just to lay in the bed so we can Scroll a phone 'til we're sick in the head (ooh) We're all throwing stones 'til somebody is dead But I wonder what we'd do if we knew (if we knew) That something shifted in the air We all felt it together everywhere So many years, we just sat back and stared But I wonder what we'd do if we knew

Jesus is coming back soon Jesus is coming back soon I can feel it in my bones The day is coming close Tell the world that they gotta know Jesus is coming back soon

Woo He's coming back soon, yeah

Sooner than later, like a thief in the night He's coming back like a groom for his bride I see Him now, He's got love in His eyes Coming back for hearts set on fire (set on fire) I can't help but recognize We live life on borrowed time He could come back in our lives I wonder what we'd do if we knew

Jesus is coming back soon Jesus is coming back soon I can feel it in my bones The day is coming close Tell the world, yeah, they gotta know Jesus is coming back soon

If every knee's gonna bow Why not here? Why not now? If every tongue will confess Why not here in this breath? If He could come back today Let's go out singing praise Lift You high, all my days Jesus Christ, I know You're coming back soon

Jesus is coming back soon I can feel it in my bones The day is coming close Tell the world that they gotta know

I can feel it in my soul The King will bring us home So tell the world that they gotta know Don't know the hour or the day But still I gotta say To the world that they gotta know Jesus is coming back soon

LYRICS:
Feels like I get it more wrong than I get it right Feels like I'm ten rounds into a losing fight I try the best I can Then I fall and fall again But I thank God He picks me up Every single time

He's not done with me, not done with you No matter what we're going through Our hope is in an empty tomb And the God that's still not in it His grace is paving broken roads He loves us more than we can know 'Til He comes back or we go home I'm not, you're not, He's not finished

There's times we're all gonna feel just a little lost But thank God we all can find grace on a rugged cross 'Cause His promises will stand He'll complete what He began I got no doubt that He'll be with us through it all

He's not, He's not finished He's not, He's not finished (oh, He's not finished) He's not, He's not finished He's not, He's not finished

What I tore down His grace rebuilds In joy and pain He's working still And He's not finished He's not finished

He's not, He's not finished He's not, He's not finished (I'm not, you're not, He's not finished) He's not, He's not finished He's not, He's not finished

LYRICS:
You broke through a thousand fences Been rescued from a thousand ditches You still swear you don't fit in So you kick and scream and you're gone again Wandering off into the devil's wind But how's it going out there? Acting like you ain't scared How's that heart of stone? Ain't so hard when you're alone Crying tears you hope nobody sees Guess the good news is He'll never leave you be Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh) You hate everything about you You think we're better off without you You wear your pain out on your sleeve And you paint it on in rebel ink But the alcohol and pills ain't fixed a thing So, how's it going out there? Acting like you ain't scared And how's that heart of stone? It ain't so hard when you're alone Crying tears you hope nobody sees Guess the good news is He'll never leave you be Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh) Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh) Can't tell you when, I ain't no prophet But there'll come a point in time when you can't stop it The Good Shepherd's love smells like smoke There ain't no hell so low Where He won't let the hounds of Heaven go Seek 'em, let the hounds of Heaven go So how's it going out there? Acting like you ain't scared How's that heart of stone? Ain't so hard when you're alone Crying tears you hope nobody sees Guess the good news is He'll never leave you be And amazing grace is a pesky, pesky thing But the good news is He'll never leave you be Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh) Jesus loves you black sheep (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Big Daddy Weave - I've Just Seen Too Much

KJIL RADIO — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

New this week on KJIL, It's Big Daddy Weave with "I've Just Seen Too Much!"

LYRICS:

Been walking through the fire Wrestling down my share of doubts Some days, it feels like I've been Losing more than I have found I won't tell you that I've got it all together If you know me, then you know my faith has wavered

If you ask me how I know, I know He's real I could believe that He's still with me In spite of how it feels If you ask me why I trust Him When it feels like everything has come undone All I can tell you is I've just seen too much

Even now, I couldn't tell you I'm okay with everything Yeah, I've begged for something different There's still so much I would have changed But even in the midst of all the hurting I've seen enough to know that He's still working

Of His kindness, too much Of His goodness, too much Of His mercy that always follows me I've seen too much of His patience Too much of His faithfulness I can't believe He's any less Than all He's been to me

So if you ask me how I know, I know He's real I could believe that He's still with me In spite of how it feels If you ask me why I trust Him When it feels like everythin' has come undone

And I've just seen too much

Anne Wilson - God Story

New this week on KJIL, it's Anne Wilson with her song "God Story!"

Lyrics

I've gone where the hopeless go, the dead end of a broken road And I've learned there's a place so low you can't see your way out Been stuck in a ditch so deep, thought it might be the end of me But I'm still here and there could only be one way how

My life is a God story Gotta tell the world what He's done for me Miracle on miracles that only He could do I'm proof that we're all only one prayer away from a testimony There's only One getting all the glory My whole life is a God story (God story)

From beginning to the end, from who I was to who I am I can see His fingerprints on every single page Now the story I love to tell Is the story of the One who brought me back from hell From "all wrong" to "it is well", and all I can say

Is my life is a God story Gotta tell the world what He's done for me Miracles on miracles that only He could do I'm proof that we're all only one prayer away from a testimony There's only One getting all the glory My whole life is a God story, God story

From death to life, from blind to sight This is my God story From lost to found, from then to now I'll tell you how, God story Who brought me through from old to new It's a true God story Ain't hard to see the change in me Could only be a God story

My life is a God story Gotta tell the world what He's done for me Miracles on miracles that only He could do I'm proof that we're all only one prayer away from a testimony There's only One getting all the glory My whole life is a God story

New this week on KJIL, it's Colton Dixon with "The Love I Have For You!"

Lyrics

Woke up feeling anxious Happens on occasion The feelings I don't deal with Overflowing from the basement I think I've hit a limit God, it's been a minute Couple heartbreaks, couple hard days Since I paid you a visit

So here I am back again Askin' how I'm ever gonna make it out You told me once, you told me twice You'll say it again a thousand times

With the love I have for you Ain't a mountain you can't move In the dark, I'll be the light In the fight, I'm by your side When you're weak, I'll be strong Your hallelujah song Oh, you're gonna make it through With the love I have for you

Can't hear when the phone calls Not there when the tree falls In the same way, yeah, blind faith Is the end all and the be all Going through the motions Missing all the moments Time flies and like that I'm right back to broken, but

You told me once, you told me twice You'll say it again a thousand times

No better kind, no greater truth The love that I, I have for you It's river wide, it's to the moon You'll be alright, you'll make it

Lyrics

I can hear the birds singin' Their song is in my head It goes, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo And the scene's already set I can see the skies open Them windows comin' down My heart's on things above While keepin' two feet on the ground

And all I know Ain't no way this place is my home

I've got heaven on my mind I've got people waitin' by Close my eyes and I can see Dancin' on them golden streets Got me dreamin' of the day Never leave, we get to stay 'Til I see that welcome sign I ain't even gonna lie (lie, lie) I've got heaven on my mind, on my mind I've got heaven Life ain't bad down here, but I've got heaven on my mind, on my mind I've got heaven on my mind (mind, mind)

Well, I find myself daydreamin' like never before There's joy and pain, like sun and rain Through every open door (open door) This life is like a vapor But we've got every day To live and love Eyes always up

'Cause all I know Ain't no way this place is my home

When this world's behind me and my days are all through You try and find me, I'll try and find you When this world's behind me and we see it's all true You'll know where to find me, I know that I'll find you In heaven (heaven) I'll come and find you in heaven (heaven)

Yeah, I've got heaven on my mind I've got people waitin' by Close my eyes and I can see Dancin' on them golden streets Got me dreamin' of the day Never leave, we get to stay 'Til I see that welcome sign I ain't even gonna lie I've got heaven on my mind, I've got heaven on my mind, on my mind (I've got heaven) I've got heaven Life ain't bad down here, but I've got heaven on my mind, on my mind (I've got heaven) I've got heaven on my mind

Leanna Crawford - Honest

New this week on KJIL, it's Leanna Crawford, with her latest, "Honest!"

Lyrics

I try to pray But the words aren't coming out the way they used to Did I lose my faith? God do I still trust You? (Mmm) I try to worship But when I lift my hands it all just feels so empty Is it the heavy of the world? Or is it just me? (Mmm)

Though I've sung a thousand times You're perfect and You'll never leave my side

Can I be honest? I just wanna know that You still got this When all I'm holding onto is a promise God, You promised that You'll never leave me When I'm scared of the dark, You're right there with me Your kindness never fails, it's always reaching after me But right now, God, all I need Is to be honest

Oh, I've heard stories Of you showing up when it was least expected Every time you prove your timing always perfect And the wait was worth it And again and again and again See your power coming through You bring life to what is dead No, there's nothing You can't do I believe you did it then So won't You do it now?

Is Your breath when I can't breathe Your eyes when I can't see An anchor as the waves crash all around Be my heart when I can't feel And show me something real Just one taste of heaven here and now Can I be honest? Ohh

Can I be honest? (Honest) I just wanna know that You still got this (You still got this) When all I'm holding onto is a promise God, you promised that you'll never leave me (you'll never leave me) When I'm scared of the dark, You're right there with me Your kindness never fails, it's always reaching after me But right now, God, all I need Yeah right now, God, all I need Is to be honest
