Beth Merill - Isaiah 60:1 (CCM)


Beth Merill’s “Isaiah 60:1” is a powerful reminder to arise and shine as sons and daughters of God, no matter the circumstances we find ourselves in. The song is based on scriptures, primarily Psalm 72:19, Psalm 113:2, and Psalm 145:21, with the chorus being verse 1 taken from Isaiah 60. 

The song begins with the beautiful lyrics, “Blessed be His Glorious Name, Forever may the whole earth proclaim, Blessed be His Glorious Name, Forever may the whole earth proclaim.” These words immediately set the tone for the rest of the song, calling us to praise and honor God’s name in all that we do.

Beth Merill - Isaiah 60:1As the song progresses, the pre-chorus reminds us that all glory belongs to God, and that the whole earth should be filled with His Glory. The chorus itself is an uplifting reminder that our light has come, and that the glory of the Lord will shine upon us. These words are a source of comfort and hope, reminding us that we are never alone and that God is always with us, no matter what we face.

The second verse continues the theme of praise and adoration, proclaiming that “Blessed be the name of the Lord, From this time forth & forever more, Blessed be the name of the Lord, From this time forth & forever more.” The pre-chorus is repeated again, with the powerful words “Let every heart that’s beating Bless His name forever & ever, Praise the Lord, Praise The Lord oh my soul, Let every heart that’s beating bless His name forever & ever, Praise the Lord,- Praise the Lord, my soul.”

The song ends with the chorus repeated, calling us to arise and shine, for our light has come, and the glory of the Lord will shine upon us. The music is simple yet powerful, with a driving beat that makes it easy to sing along to.

Beth Merill’s “Isaiah 60:1” is a powerful and uplifting song that reminds us to praise God in all things and to always trust in His love and grace. The song’s message of hope and encouragement is much needed in these difficult times, and I would encourage anyone to give it a listen. It is sure to uplift and inspire, reminding us that we are never alone, and that the light of God will always shine upon us.

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...

"You Came And Found Me" by Recovered Crown: A Journey from Pain to Purpose

"You Came And Found Me" by Recovered Crown is about the healing God brought after having been trapped in a cycle of deeply hurtful relationships for years and the strength she found to truly step into her calling. She experienced harmful relationships as a child and as an adult, and reached a point where she was completely exhausted. "I didn't know how much of myself I had lost trying to survive," she shares. "But even in the darkest moments, God never stopped pursuing me."   The song reflects the change God brought into her life: "In a desperate state, in a broken place // You came and found me." It's not only a song for anyone who has been in similar situations but also for anyone who feels abandoned or even voiceless. There is always hope, "You're all that I need and so much more." It's God who truly heals, and He is always within your reach, no matter how bad the situation looks: "Hallelujah, I am restored in...

"Manna from Heaven" by Angela Charles: Trusting His Provision No Matter What

"Manna from Heaven" by Angela Charles is a beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness and encourages us to stand firm in every trial or challenge we may face. Angela highlights that "despite how difficult times may get, victory is the Lord's, and our enemy is defeated!"   The lyrics of the song are filled with examples of this confidence: "When water's deep and I can't stand // You are my mountain, God, You are my land." It's a reminder that even when we surrender, "When giving up, I lift my hands," God remains unshakable. The song recalls some of the miracles: "You sent Manna from Heaven // You split the Red Sea // You fed the 5000," and shows how this applies to us, "I know you won't forget me." As we have seen in the past and in the present, God provides and protects when we place our trust in Him and follow His lead.  God knows exactly where we are and what we are going through: "In darkest t...
