'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.

"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...
