'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.

"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...
