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.

"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....

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...

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.
