'Flashing Blade' by Dream On: Captivating Melodies Echoing Faith's Struggles and Triumphs in God's Promise


Dream On's 'Flashing Blade' is a song that calls to the heart of every believer. The song resounds with echoes of Christ's suffering at the cross and His triumph over death, offering an allegorical reflection on the struggles of the modern world, such as modern-day knife crimes. But amidst these struggles, each lyric resonates with a firm trust in God's plan, a prayer uttered in faith for the strength to overcome, and the hope for resurrection as Jesus did.

Dream On - Flashing BladeListening to 'Flashing Blade', one cannot but be captivated by its melodic rhythm, persuading us to engage in a profound spiritual journey. The lyrics are deeply moving, mirroring life's battles and our cries for divine intervention. Yet, in surrendering to God, 'Lord, take my body, and take my soul,' lies the profound truth of our faith – the willingness to place our life in His hands, trusting His unfailing love and promise of salvation.

As the flashing blade comes crashing down, we, too, crash at His feet in humility, leaning on His strength, comforted by His promise of a better place, a new realm where youth and lost ones unite, free from life's trials.

Let Dream On's 'Flashing Blade' stir your soul, embolden your faith, and be a gentle reminder that through the fiercest trials, the sweetest triumph awaits. God's love, as the refrain in our lives, is never in vain.

"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...
