'Garden Hope' by Kristi Hepp - A Healing Melody Echoing Divine Promises


The title track of Kristi Hepp's newest album, 'In Between the Gardens,' is called 'Garden Hope.' It guides the wandering hearts and keeps them rooted in God's promises. It sings out to those who have grown weary on their earthly pilgrimage, offering an empathetic shoulder and a gentle reminder of our heavenly home.

Kristi Hepp - Garden HopeThe song echoes the yearning we all experience in our lives: being in the 'in between,' a place of longing. We are often 'tangled in this sorrow,' but 'Garden Hope' makes us feel better by mixing the bitter and the sweet and telling us that our pain will end.

Kristi's lyrics are full of strong emotions: where the rough current of sadness is mixed with the gentle stream of hope. The refrain, 'This world is not my home,' is a strong reminder that sparks hope and breaks through our sadness.

This promise keeps coming back to us: 'You will wipe every tear from our eyes / And death will be no more, death will be no more' These beautiful words carry a taste of the divine. They give us comfort by reminding us that even in our darkest hours, even when we feel devastated, we are not forgotten or abandoned.

'Garden Hope' is more than just a song; it's Kristi's hand reaching out to us, guiding us to heavenly comfort. The song encourages us to trust the journey, pay close attention, and let the music show us that there is light beyond what we can see. That is the invitation of 'Garden Hope'. Listen, accept the invitation, put your faith in God, and your tears will be wiped away.

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford: Forgiven by the Cross, Made Whole

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford retells the well-known story of Christ's sacrifice with a deep personal gratitude. A new rendition of a song that Avery first introduced at a 1993 youth rally on a humble blue cassette tape (!) with the lyrics that focus on Jesus' innocence, His willingness to suffer, and the mystery of a love that is beyond anything we are able to comprehend. Instead of dwelling only on the sorrow, Avery points us to the hope that His tears have made possible. You hear him marvel at Christ's mercy, remind us of His forgiveness even in suffering, and celebrate the healing that comes from a life that He has made whole. The message in this worship anthem, reimagined with cinematic flair, is simple (but not easy): Jesus gave everything, and there is nothing we can do or could have done to earn such an ultimate sacrifice. "With tears in Your eyes, You died for me," but most of all, the lyrics highlight redemption's triu...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"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....
