Lyrics:

Head so heavy on the pillowcase
Eyes staring out the window pane
The harder that I try
The more I lose the fight

Think I'm fine then here it goes
What if's and scenarios
Betrayal by my mind
Feeling paralyzed

I'm hanging by a thread
Everything keeps running through my head
Can't stop the chaos around me
But I can surrender what's in me

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind
Oh, be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest

My rest

Try so hard just to make it work
Head down hands in the dirt
Carrying the weight
Hoping it's okay

Smile and try to cover my emotion
But I'm really drowning in an ocean
It won't go away
So I guess I'm not okay

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind
Be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest

My rest

Being scared isn't sinful
But God sometimes I'm forgetful
That You're right here in the middle
Father help me remember

Being scared isn't sinful
But God sometimes I'm forgetful
That You're right here in the middle
Father help me remember

That You want to carry this for me
This isn't the end of my story
Your love is forever restoring
Forever restoring

Yes You want to carry this for me
This isn't the end of my story
Your love is forever restoring
Forever restoring

Be my peace
Be my light
Be my one and only
Through my fear
Day and night
Be the one who holds me
Father give me new life
Spirit renew my mind

Be my peace
Be my light
Be the one who gives me rest
My rest

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
