It is always a beautiful thing when two or more talented artists get together and work in tandem to craft a new kind of praise to share with the world. Throughout this year, there have been some masterfully crafted collaborative songs from some of our favorite artists, and some have been so good that we cannot help but play them on repeat. Read on to discover Air1’s Unforgettable Collabs of 2022!
“Same God” - Elevation Worship & Brandon Lake
In this rendition of the modern classic, “Same God,” Elevation Worship and Brandon Lake join voices once again to create a uniquely moving song that reminds us to call on the same God who made so many miracles happen throughout the Bible. We find great confidence in God when we look back at all the times He has proven Himself faithful. This is why this song takes the top spot on our list. We frequently need to remember how powerful God is, and listening to this song again and again helps us do just that.

Chris Renzema and Ellie Holcomb’s “Just As Good” is a thoughtful, moving anthem for when we start to doubt God’s love for us. While this song reminds us to raise an Ebenezer to remind us of God’s unending faithfulness, the song itself serves that same purpose for us. Every time we hear this song, we cannot help but reminisce about all the wonders that God has shown us so far.

“Believe For It” - CeCe Winans & Lauren Daigle
Two powerhouse voices come together in CeCe Winans and Lauren Daigle’s rendition of “Believe For It”. This song’s marching beat and determined sound accompany Winans and Daigle’s impressive vocals, giving the song a unique energy. The promises of God and the promises of this world conflict with each other in our minds, and though it can be easy to doubt God, we need to trust in the One who cannot lie, rather than the world that we know is capable of deception. We choose to take the advice of this song and believe in the miracle.
