    The information on this listing was accurate as of the last earning statistics update on

    Overview

    In its earliest years, this catalog felt like many works of faith do—quiet, steady, and waiting to be discovered. The earnings wavered at times, but beneath that surface there was a foundation being laid. Songs like Jesus Is Alive and God Is For Us began to seep into congregations, their melodies carried across sanctuaries long before they ever showed up as numbers on a royalty statement.

    Then came the shift. By Year 3, growth was evident, but Years 4 and 5 told the real story: first a 36.94% leap, then another 20.84% surge. This wasn’t just luck. It was the sound of songs finding their place in worship setlists across the world, propelled by CCLI adoption that turned once-modest earnings into sustained, upward momentum.

    What makes this catalog stand out is its durability. With a Dollar Age of 6.32 years, these aren’t passing radio singles—they’re becoming hymns for a new generation. Performance royalties remain the backbone, but the real intrigue lies in the rising streams and mechanicals. What began as 3% of the pie has now grown into nearly a quarter of total earnings—like a second income stream maturing alongside the first. Diversity, stability, and growth—all in balance.

    Today, this catalog is more than a ledger of royalties. It’s a body of work woven into the weekly rhythm of worship, with songs that have proven their place over time and continue to expand their reach. It carries the rare blend of spiritual resonance and demonstrated staying power—an uncommon story in any catalog.

    Artist & Song Information

    CityAlight is a worship collective from Sydney, Australia, known for creating accessible music widely sung by congregations around the world. One of their most recognized songs, God Is For Us, is licensed under CCLI, making it broadly available for church use, and is distributed through platforms like PraiseCharts and MultiTracks, reflecting its strong adoption in worship settings. While it has not appeared on major secular charts, its consistent presence in church setlists and availability across streaming and licensing platforms highlight its enduring performance and value within the Christian music space.

    Josh Wilson is an American contemporary Christian singer-songwriter known for blending pop, folk, and worship influences, as well as for his multi-instrumental live performances. Among his many singles, Revolutionary (2020), stands out as a hopeful anthem released just before the upheavals of that year. The song frames kindness as a radical, “revolutionary” act in a divided cultural moment, posing the question “Why does kindness seem revolutionary?” and encouraging listeners to pursue love and compassion. Promoted with the hashtag #RevolutionaryKindness, it resonated with audiences for its timely message and became one of Wilson’s most recognized works in recent years, reaching No. 14 on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart and earning widespread radio and playlist support across major digital platforms.

    Other Information

    Earnings Note. Earnings in 1Q-2023, 3Q-2023, and 1Q-2024 appear lower due to a lack of CCLI payments; however, the subsequent quarters include larger distributions that offset these shortfalls.
