Rock of Ages' by Rick Gallagher Project: An Instrumental Tapestry of Faith and Comfort


Rick Gallagher Project released 'Rock of Ages,' a classic hymn that has been delicately woven into an instrumental tapestry of faith, solace, and reverence. This instrumental rendition transcends time and language, reflecting the divine grace that comforts our souls.

As we listen to this version, each note seeps into our hearts, creating an intimate and personal prayer. We are reminded of God's unwavering presence, the unmoving Rock of Ages, which provides refuge for each soul on its journey.

Rick Gallagher Project - Rock of AgesThe story behind this hymn conveys a vivid reliance on this unchanging Rock for protection and salvation. As the melody progresses, you can almost see Reverend Augustus Montague Toplady seeking refuge and inspiration in the midst of a raging storm. The delicate musical notes recreate that precious moment for us, gently reminding us that God is our dependable refuge, especially when storms strike.

While the instrumental contains no words, we are reminded of the hymn's familiar lyrics. We are reminded of God's unending grace, which washes away our sins and purifies us in exchange for nothing more than our faith.

The Rick Gallagher Project's instrumental performance of 'Rock of Ages' is a beautiful invitation. Let the music fill your heart as you listen. God's comforting message will echo through your soul, offering a clear reflection of His eternal grace.

(Related scripture: Psalm 62:6-8, Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 John 1:7-9)

"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...
