'Wildfire' by Vivid Era: Music fostering faith in the middle of vulnerability


Step into the lyrical setting of Vivid Era's song 'Wildfire,' where faith and vulnerability coexist under an umbrella of divine grace. The song fills us with the reassuring certainty of God's everlasting compassion. It expresses the honest feelings of someone who is feeling forgotten, and is gently reminded of the Lord's unending and burning love.

Vivid Era - WildfireThe song starts with 'You're far away, far from the safest place,' creating a setting of spiritual loneliness. The song addresses the fear of rejection, of feeling being so far away that it seems impossible to find a way back. Out of that fear comes a refrain that echoes a divine assurance: 'Passion burnin' 'till the daylight | Love ablaze through the dead of night | Closer still than anyone you know | This fire keeps warm in the cold'

The song boldly invites you to take a step forward, to once again experience the comforting rest of God's presence; to trust as easily as before; and to make a leap of faith into His unfailing love. The lyrics remind us that we have a Father who will never abandon us, and paints an image of a 'wild fire' that keeps us warm even in the coldest of trials.

Listen to Vivid Era's 'Wildfire' and find renewed faith within. Draw from the song's lyrics, appreciate its meaningful resonance, and allow it to ignite a spiritual fire similar to a comforting, homely wildfire—an endless source of warmth and love that endures no matter where you are on your spiritual journey.

(Related scripture: Deuteronomy 4:29; Psalm 147:3; Hebrews 13:5)

"Thankful" by Lowen: The Practice of Being Thankful

Lowen's "Thankful" isn't one of those typical feel-good gratitude songs. Life is good most of the time… and even when it hurts, there's often something quietly waiting inside the pain, like a lesson, a softening, or a deeper understanding. Lowen found inspiration for this song in what Stephen Colbert once said, "… he learned to love the thing he most wished had never happened, and that simply being here is a gift. Gratitude means holding all of it, not just the easy parts."   The lyrics open with a warm anchor: "Every day that I wake, I just feel so thankful." We're encouraged not to flinch from the messy middle. This is not about ignoring life's quakes! Lowen admits, "honesty is telling me I need space" when the world feels unsteady. In other words, the gratitude that Lowen sings about isn't about forcing a smile through pain — it's about meeting every moment (including the hard moments) with presence, care, and res...

"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....

"He Must Increase" by Rorie: Humbling ourselves in God’s presence

Inspired by the verses John 3:30, Philippians 3:7–8, and John 10:27, Rorie releases "He Must Increase", a beautiful song that reminds us of the sound of CCM from the 2000s, easily the era when the rise of CCM was at its peak. Rorie sings the song with earnestness as she opens the lines "The seasons change and we are aging, But You alone are God of the ages." You'll immediately know that this song is putting God front and center. There's a certain aspect of the song that clearly wants to remind us that God will always be bigger than us. That his glory and mercy will always shine through, and we are mere travelers in the world that he built. Everything emanates from him, and we cannot claim to be bigger than God.  It's a humbling reminder that what we have, what we attained, it all comes as a blessing that He has gifted to us. We cannot claim that it is our works that brought us the joys and triumphs. These gifts and accomplishments are nothing without Hi...
