'The Old Rugged Cross' by Rick Gallagher Project: Bridges to Heaven Through the Strings of Faith


In the beautiful language of music, Rick Gallagher Project carries on a divine conversation with every heart that listens. As you listen to this beautiful instrumental rendition of 'The Old Rugged Cross,' you enter a dance with the Divine, where life's trials and tribulations pale in comparison to Christ's sacrificial love.

Rick Gallagher Project - The Old Rugged CrossWith his vast experience and talent, Pittsburgh composer Rick Gallagher turns Rev. George Bennard's hymn into a continuous prayer. The rising and falling notes tell the story of struggle, hope, redemption, and unending love symbolized by an old rugged cross on a distant hill.

This cross offers a view of our trials and triumphs. Like the hymn from over a century ago, our life's story is rooted in faith, using our struggles to grow closer to God. The echo of God's unwavering love draws us closer to His eternal grace.

Let this Rick Gallagher Project masterpiece touch your heart and renew your faith. Rather than a song, 'The Old Rugged Cross' is a spiritual experience that whispers God's constant presence and love.

(Related scripture: Galatians 6:14, Romans 5:10, John 3:16)

'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...

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...

'Jesus' by Judane: Navigating through Life's storms with Divine Hope

Judane's beautiful song 'Jesus' really helps to grow a deeper appreciation for all that Christ has done and still is doing for us. This song was written between 2019 and 2021, during a time when Judane was facing quite a few challenges. The song is about personal struggles, how we tend to deal with fear, doubt, and insecurities, and where we can find true hope. The lyrics also share an eternal truth - a truth that serves as a lifeline that is thrown to us in the middle of stormy seas - that Jesus is our one true hope. The song 'Jesus' illustrates a journey from feeling 'not good enough' or 'never strong enough' to realizing, that even in the face of despair, there is someone we can trust, and that is Jesus. He is here to restore, renew, and strengthen us, showing us who we really are. Allow Judane's soothing melody to wash away your anxieties, break them down, and invite you enter into a solid and tangible bond with Christ. The song...
