'Hope in The Morning' by James Kelso - Grooving with Grace and Truth


There's a new song that beutifully captures the feeling of frest start, like the sunrise that announces the beginning of a new day full of hope. The song is called 'Hope in the Morning' by James Kelso. It has a beat that gets your feet tapping and lyrics that cleanse your soul. It's a song for anyone who is seeking comfort in Jesus.

James Kelso - Hope In The MorningKelso's song is about our walk with Christ. The lyrics describe how empty and fake life was 'before him.' But then comes an encounter with Jesus, and life changes. Just like how each sunrise chases away the darkness, Jesus brings a fresh start, filling our lives with hope and peace, and each morning becomes a testament of His unwavering grace.

Some people look at the brokenness of life and question if God really exists. Kelso also sees a shattered world tainted by sin. He also sees the broken pieces that God is lovingly putting back together through Jesus. It's a sentiment that is easy for us to relate to because it reminds us of the grace and salvation that we all may find in Christ.

'Hope in the Morning' is a personal call to rejoice and walk in our divine calling. It's a funky beat with powerful lyrics that encourages you to move, both physically and spiritually. After all, each new day presents an opportunity, a walk with Jesus, a fresh start filled with His amazing grace.

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.

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
