The Fifth Gospel - Immanuel

As Pope Leo XIV leads global calls for prayer amid 200 million people in humanitarian crisis, Denmark-based artist Kactuz releases The Fifth Gospel - Immanuel — 8 psalms that Jesus himself prayed. "These aren't songs about Jesus — these are the prayers Jesus actually prayed," says Michael, the artist behind Kactuz. "We can pray alongside Jesus by singing the psalms he sang." The album features word-for-word Scripture settings including Psalm 22 (My God My God — Jesus's cry from the cross), Psalm 136 (his favorite Passover psalm), and Psalm 122 (Peace of Jerusalem) — an ancient prayer now urgent over a conflict-torn Holy Land. Born from a Christmas Eve 2023 spiritual awakening, Kactuz has since released 40+ songs across four albums — all maintaining complete biblical fidelity, all offered free at kactuzmusic.com. Perfectly timed for Lent (beginning February 18), The Fifth Gospel - Immanuel is available on all major streaming platforms.
