"Praise You Now" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: A Timeless Call to Worship


Marcus & Jalyn McGill's CCM song, 'Praise You Now,' (on the "Praise You Now" EP) is a spirited anthem that draws inspiration from the changing seasons of life. Serving as the third single from the forthcoming EP 'Songs for this Season,' the song encapsulates a message of praise and gratitude regardless of the circumstances. The track's production at North Room Studio and the inclusion of drums by Jesse Proctor add depth to its energetic melody.

Marcus & Jalyn McGill - Praise You NowThe song's lyrics beautifully weave through the metaphor of the four seasons, portraying the various phases of life and the emotions they evoke. It starts with the imagery of winter, symbolizing challenges and waiting, but even in the darkest times, the song emphasizes that God is still working. Spring's arrival brings hope and a new vision, reflecting the idea that even during planning and anticipation, God's light shines through.

The chorus resounds with the pledge to praise in every season, recognizing that both good and difficult times offer reasons to lift voices in joy. The song asserts that the same God remains constant, a source of strength in weakness. This sentiment carries into the bridge, where the lyrics emphasize the immediacy of God's presence and the resolve to praise Him at all times.

'Praise You Now' encapsulates the essence of a heartfelt worship anthem, inviting listeners to embrace a perspective of continuous praise. The song's incorporation of seasonal metaphors serves as a reminder to praise in every season, and that God's faithfulness transcends the changing circumstances of life.

'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.

"Breathe A New Life – In Me" by Keith Garrett – When Faith Changes Your Story

Keith Garrett, also known as R.K.A. -  Keith Lessert, released a song called "Breathe A New Life (In Me)." The song is a call for renewal, to leave the past behind and embrace a fresh beginning. Garrett acknowledges that taking the first step to a fresh clean start isn't always easy, but you're not alone: "Eternity came and healed me within."   The lyrics give an example of the steps that lead to the change that God brings. Garrett reflects on days of self-reliance, stormy struggles, and a hardened heart. Living recklessly and being trapped in a cycle of pride and selfishness.

The moment that you let Him come in is when change happens: "But when I met You // You made it fade away…cause // You breathe a new life…" He doesn't come empty-handed, He brings freedom from chains, newfound vision, and purpose rooted in grace.  What ma...
