'Praises Go Up' by Christa Rooks: A Spiritual Journey through Melody

Christa Rooks' heart was touched by an indescribable whisper of a song during a moving solo car ride. A verse and chorus that blossomed into 'Praises Go Up' was born in her heart, saved as a voice memo, and patiently waiting for the right time to resurface.

Christa connects our intimate human experiences and everyday troubles to our heavenly connection with God in the song's raw simplicity. As the lyrics unfold, it's clear that this song was inspired by Christa's quiet moments of praise to God in the middle of her personal storms. You could also hear echoes of your praises, gratitude, and longings in this song as well.

The song beautifully captures the life-changing power of faith and the comfort of God's presence. 'Yes, Lord,' repeated, becomes more than just a string of words; it becomes an affirming prayer, a statement of faith that acknowledges and embraces God's joy.

Let go of whatever is keeping you from connecting with God. Allow the uplifting current of 'Praises Go Up' to catch your spirit. You might find yourself saying 'Yes, Lord,' filled with the same joy that filled the room where it all came together. Whatever your path, remember that when we lift our voices in praise, His joy fills our void.

(Related scripture: Psalm 100:2; Psalm 28:7; Hebrews 12:2)

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him. So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons. Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are." We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
