'The Family of Abraham' by Eleventh Hour Worship: Uplifting Melodies Amidst the Darkness of War


On a quiet evening, as the shadows of conflict blanket the Middle East, the soothing notes of Eleventh Hour Worship's 'The Family of Abraham' remind us of the true beauty and hope that can emerge from the human spirit. The song speaks straight to the heart, shedding light on the Israel/Hamas war that plagues our world and tracing its origins to the poignant Biblical tale of Abraham, Isaac, and Ishmael.

Eleventh Hour Worship - The Family of AbrahamAs the lyrics unfold, we follow Abraham's journey, from a weary traveler yearning for a son to a divine promise that would shape the course of human history. We witness the divine covenant between God and Abraham, as well as the struggles and heartache that ensue when humanity attempts to fulfill God's promises through its own devices.

'The Family of Abraham' doesn't shy away from the raw emotion of this narrative. The band reminds us that even in pain and conflict, God's unwavering presence and love transcends our earthly struggles. From the tenderness of a barren wife awaiting a miracle to the heartrending solitude of a servant girl exiled to the wilderness, we witness the divine assurance that neither time nor conflict can shake the foundation of God's promises.

In these uncertain times, Eleventh Hour Worship provides a melody of solace, a reminder that we are all intricately connected in the eyes of our Creator. Let the poignant lyrics of 'The Family of Abraham' speak to your soul and provoke a deeper understanding of the inherent value of all human life. Listen to the song and embrace the heartfelt message of faith, redemption, and the unshakable bond that unites us all.

"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...
