Moving Mountain Worship - Prayer of David (Psalm 71) (CCM)

Moving Mountain Worship - Prayer of David (Psalm 71)
Moving Mountain Worship has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Prayer of David (Psalm 71).

Dale Rugge shares: "The Holy Spirit pointed the lyrical direction of this song to Psalm 71, where King David pours out his heart to God in earnest prayer. He refers to God again and again as the source of his strength as he pleads for deliverance from, and God's justice upon, his enemies. This song has a distinctly Messianic Jewish vibe, and puts the themes of King David's prayer from Psalm 71 in modern verse and rhyme. Instruments with sounds similar to the Lute, the Harp and the Timbrel are used in keeping with what might have been heard in King David's court as accompaniment for the Psalm."

Lyrics:

In You oh Lord, do I take refuge. Deliver me, may I be rescued.
Let no one else shame me, Hear Lord won’t You save me. You are my rock, to You I come.
My stronghold and my dwelling; my fortress so compelling.
Rescue me Lord from the wicked ones.                      

You are my hope. You are my confidence. And from my youth, You taught deliverance.
My praise continually of thee. My words speak of Your glory. Forsake me not in advancing years. 
And when my strength has left me, Lord You still protect me.
Make haste to help me and hear my prayers.

I praise You God for Your faithfulness. To You I sing, of Your deliverance.
For You alone are righteous. You restore and revive us. Lord won’t You do this once again.
And to this generation, I’ll declare Your salvation.
Your might and Your power yet to come.      

To future generations, I declare Your salvation.
Your might and Your power, yet to come.

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
