Moving Mountain Music - Fortunes of Jacob (Psalm 85) (CCM)


'Fortunes of Jacob (Psalm 85)' by Moving Mountain Music is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and the importance of waiting on the Lord. The man behind the music, Dale R. Rugge, recently underwent vocal cord surgery, and his recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. Despite his challenges, Dale has managed to capture the central themes of Psalm 85 in modern lyrical form.

Moving Mountain Music - Fortunes of Jacob (Psalm 85)The song emphasizes the importance of seeking God's restoration while acknowledging that it is ultimately up to Him to bring about this restoration in His own time and manner. The psalmist expresses an urgency in seeking God's mercy, and the song perfectly captures this urgency.

The sound of Dale's voice in the song (post-surgery) is a powerful testament to God's faithfulness and the power of prayer, a reminder that our God is a living God who unceasingly does His work in our lives. Dale sings about the Sons of Korah, who wrote Psalm 85 as a prayer to God for mercy on the people and nation of Israel as they prepared to return from Babylonian captivity. The Sons of Korah were spared God's wrath for opposing the Lord, and their prayer for mercy reminds us of our own need for God's grace and forgiveness.

Moving Mountain Music's 'Fortunes of Jacob (Psalm 85)' is a must-listen if you're looking for a powerful worship song that captures the heart of Psalm 85. It's a lovely reminder of God's faithfulness and the necessity of waiting on Him, on His timing. Give it a listen and be blessed by its message.

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"Whoop The Devil" by Destin Dumais: Standing in Christ's Authority

Who gave you the authority to stand firm? Destin Dumais opens his debut single with an amazing sound that excites, gets you up on your feet, and gets you ready to conquer. “Whoop The Devil” is a hard-hitting country-rock song with one clear message: As believers, we hold real authority in Christ! The song starts with a cowboy scene. “Gonna saddle up and ride, ain’t no place you can hide.” Then comes the line that makes an important difference: “Been deputized, authorized.” Nobody appoints himself to this work. The badge was handed over at Calvary. Jesus said it plainly in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Who gives the authority? Jesus does! This kind of confidence never relies on your strength, your mood, or your track record. This confidence rests on His name, and His name only! Does that now mean that our fears will disappear for good? Not always. Destin admits that...

"He Knew" by Krystal Dawn Land: The Cost Christ Chose Before the Cradle

Jesus knew everything, and He came anyway! Let’s go back to the birth of Jesus, a newborn lying in the manger, part of a larger plan and fully aware of where His path would end before He came to earth. Krystal Dawn Land’s song, “He Knew”, opens with a question that stops you cold, especially if you consider how you would respond: “What if He knew? What if He saw? What if He knew the pain He’d face to give it all?” This isn’t idle speculation. The song walks through the full arc of Jesus’ story, “from the cradle to the cross” , and insists that nothing that happened caught Him off guard. He saw the betrayal coming. He saw the doubt, the walking away, “some would not believe, some would walk away.” And still, as Krystal sings, “He did… He knew all along. He still came… to right every wrong.” That kind of foreknowledge changes how we read Isaiah 53:3–5, where the prophet describes the Messiah as “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.” Jesus wasn’t ambushed by suffering. He wal...
