'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 Rooks - Praises Go UpChrista 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)

'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...

"Rider of Glory" by Whispering Hope: The King Returns Victorious

Imagine the skies tearing open with a thunderous cry. Difficult to imagine? Well, based on Revelation 19 and Daniel 7, we believe that day will come! When the skies tear open, it announces the moment we all have been waiting for.  Whispering HOPE captures this moment in "Rider of Glory," a track that talks about Christ's return as the conquering King. The lyrics paint a vivid picture: "The Faithful True rides forth again," an arrival that doesn't come with quiet humility, but shatters the prideful kingdoms and men with holy fire and establishes an everlasting reign.  Instead of fear, Whispering HOPE invites us to stand in awe. "All earthly kingdoms fall at His command," a reminder that no human power will or can stand above His authority! The lyrics call us to worship. "Lift up your voices; saints draw near," encouraging us to step out of the shadows and into His light.  Why does this matter today, right where you are, in the present? ...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
