"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...

"Stand In Awe (Live)" by Perimeter Worship: Grace Upon the Cross

(by Jasper Tan) If you are looking for a very beautiful praise and worship song this month, then look no further than listening to Perimeter Worship's song "Stand In Awe." From the get-go, you'll feel the chills and the calming presence of the Holy Spirit as the opening notes are played. And the song gets right to it when the opening lines "Christ alone be lifted high, Christ alone be glorified" immediately glorify God.

"I Know You're Angry" by Stephen M. Miller: A Gentle Lament That Meets You Where You Are

Have you ever felt so angry at God that you couldn’t bear to listen to His still, small voice? Stephen M. Miller knows that feeling all too well. After losing someone he loved deeply, he was angry at God for how it happened—so he wrote “I Know You’re Angry” to imagine what God might say if He spoke plainly, meeting Miller in his fury instead of pulling back. This quiet lament doesn’t fix the grief; it sits with it. Verse 1’s opening lines, “I know you’re angry // I know you feel its pain // I know you think that I’m to blame” , don’t shut down anger—it validates it. Instead of rushing to answers, the song echoes the honesty of Psalm 13, with God saying, “It’s okay to feel the way you do // I feel it too.” The chorus is the part that really anchors us: “where you go // Is where I am // And where you hide // I’ve always been.” The message of this song isn't about getting over grief, it’s about knowing God is with you through every part of it. It's okay to feel and not have answe...
