Roscoe Crawley’s 'Awaken': An Anthem of Hope for a New Generation


Every now and then, a song comes along and sweeps us up and pulls us in, its lyrics a heartfelt prayer, its melodies as soothing as a balm. Roscoe Crawley's 'Awaken' is just that kind of song.

Roscoe Crawley - Awaken'Awaken,' which was born during a powerful time of worship and prayer, echoes the earnest longing for a spiritual revival, a desire to awaken a generation to the unfathomable hope we have in Jesus Christ. Born out of a prayer for the student generation, the song's passion and conviction continue to grow, serving as an anthem for this rising generation.

'Awaken' is more than just a song; it's a call to the lost, the hurting, and the broken. Its lyrics speak a language of hope, inviting everyone to enter Jesus' healing presence. Imagine the Spirit pouring out His love, breathing life into hearts, and stirring a hunger for His kingdom as you listen. Witness the return of the prodigals and the emergence of hope. This is more than just a song; it's an invitation to God's unfailing love, a God who longs for a relationship with us.

You are invited to join the chorus, to add your voice, your prayer to the thousands who have already done so. Allow 'Awaken' to echo through the spaces where believers gather in unity, from small gatherings in cozy living rooms to bustling Sunday services. Allow this anthem to stir a spiritual awakening within you by opening your heart, leaning into the divine love story woven in melodies and sweet surrender.

May you encounter God's genuine love as you listen. May your heart align with His as you join in the prayer that resonates in 'Awaken'. Listen to 'Awaken' by Roscoe Crawley, let the Spirit breathe life into your worship, and watch as God works miracles in the most unexpected ways.

"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...
