A new musical arrangement of the song ‘Shine Jesus Shine’
- unifying voices and igniting revival across the nation
A new collaboration is taking place between BeracahMusic International, Nicole Hobday (the visionary behind the project), and Shine Your Light from the end of November 2025.
Vision Statement
We envision a nationwide worship movement where thousands of voices - across all cities, churches, schools and denominations unite in singing a new arrangement by Graham's long-standing musical director, Steve Thompson of ‘Shine Jesus Shine’. This project is not just about reimagining a beloved song - it’s about proclaiming God’s light, love, and hope over the nation in a powerful, unified moment of worship.
We are working together with both professional and non-professional musicians, singers and choirs all across the country, from different denominations and backgrounds, to be a part of an official new recording of Graham Kendrick’s song ‘Shine Jesus Shine’, to be released this Christmas.
Our intention is to release a new video and recording of the song, create resources for churches, schools and organisations to use so we can unite together in prayer and song across the nation.
Why This Project Matters
For decades, ‘Shine Jesus Shine’ by Graham Kendrick, has been an anthem of hope and revival, stirring hearts with its timeless message of God’s transforming power. In today’s world facing division, uncertainty and spiritual longing this project offers a fresh expression of faith and unity.
A New Sound, Same Truth: The new arrangement honours the song’s original message while offering a fresh musical expression for a new generation of worshippers.
United Worship Across the Nation: Imagine churches, homes, and public spaces filled with the sound of believers singing in harmony, declaring God’s light to pierce through darkness.
Reviving Hearts and Communities: This project is more than a song - it’s a call to spiritual awakening. Through music, we declare God’s glory over individuals, families, and the entire nation.
Our Prayer and Vision for This Movement
We believe this event will:
Inspire a new generation of worshippers with a timeless anthem.
Create a spiritual ripple effect, as hearts are awakened and encouraged.
Proclaim God’s light over our nation in a powerful, unified declaration.
We invite you to stand with us—as individuals, churches, and organisations - investing your time, resources, and prayers into this vision. Together, let’s shine the light of Christ across the nation.
Let’s unite in one voice, one song, and one faith - lifting high the name of Jesus and declaring, “Shine Jesus Shine!”
