'To Love And To Hold' by Mubanga Chipimo: Echoes of Eden in Melody


'To Love And To Hold' by Mubanga Chipimo is a song that boosts your faith and also comforts your spirit. It's a song that reaches out and wraps its melody around your heart, speaking of love and eternal commitment. A love that is as pure as the first love in Eden and as robust as God's love for His creation.

Mubanga Chipimo - To Love And To HoldThink about a love that is so strong that it is etched into our DNA from the very beginning. That's the kind of love that Mubanga Chipimo sings about. The song paints a picture of Adam's awe when he looked at Eve for the first time. A love that is so natural and divinely inspired that it mirrors the love Christ has for His church. Don't you think it's beautiful? How something as original as the act of creation itself can be echoed in the humble chords of an acoustic guitar, somewhere in the quiet corner of our modern lives.

As you listen, you can picture yourself walking through that garden of commitment and thinking about the selfless love that holds you tight in both good and bad times. It's a reminder of God's love, which binds two hearts together into one. The song isn't just for married people; it's for everyone who has ever loved, hoped, or believed that God was always there.

So, start the music and let the sounds fill the room. It will touch your heart with a sacred embrace. While whispering vows or praying in quiet, Chipimo captures the very core of what it means to love as God intended: truly, passionately, and fully.

(Related scripture: Genesis 2:18, 22-24; Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

"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...
