Armstead Ford’s 'Have Mercy O Grace': A Soulful Cry for God’s Compassion


When we think that we are alone with our struggles and thoughts in the quiet moments of life, an unexpected whisper can pass over our hearts and herald a shift in our spirit. This is the journey that Armstead Ford beautifully captures in his gospel song 'Have Mercy O Grace.'

Armstead Ford - Have Mercy O Grace'Have Mercy, O Grace' is nothing short of a musical witness. Ford shares his personal experiences, ranging from feeling lost in the hustle of worldly pursuits to finding peace on a 'mourner's bench' during a Wednesday night church service. This spiritual offering is both passionate and tender, bringing up images of a man at the end of his rope, finally surrendering his burdens to God's unfailing grace and mercy.

It serves as a stirring reminder that when we surrender to God's grace, we are met with loving arms open wide, rather than harsh judgment. It emphasizes that no matter our past, no matter the burden we bear, God's mercy and grace are always ready to restore our weary souls.

Listening to 'Have Mercy, O Grace' does more than just filling the air with melody. It ushers in a sense of divine comfort, an intimate dialogue between a man and his maker. The song is an invitation to all of us: allow God's grace to lead you into His arms, and cry out earnestly for His mercy. Allow this song to inspire you, bring hope to your situation, and remind you of Jesus' endless love.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:8; Hebrews 4:16; Psalm 51:1-2)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
