'An Undivided Heart' by Fr Mark Baumgarten: A Call to Wholehearted Living


'An Undivided Heart' by Fr Mark Baumgarten is a refreshing tune, and a prelude for his upcoming album called 'The Little Ones' (available on May 3rd). This song is a call to fully commit to those things that truly matter in life. Fr Mark loves to write songs that touch on deeper themes, and they cover a variety of genres including blues, ballads, gospel, rock and pop.

Fr Mark Baumgarten - An Undivided Heart'An Undivided Heart' is all about ending that the internal tug-of-war, where you're walking that line between past regrets and the hope of what's yet to come. Fr Mark sings that it's time to stop living halfway and fully turn towards the source of true healing and love. This song is a journey from uncertainty to conviction, a personal vow to love without holding anything back.

If you find yourself trapped in the cycle of 'what-ifs,' or feel split by life's demands, then listen close to the lyrics. It's sending a gentle reminder that choosing for a full-hearted commitment over a divided commitment changes how we touch the world around us. As a community of believers, it nudges us towards unity, urging us to live out our faith with bold, undivided hearts.

Give it a listen. Let Fr Mark Baumgarten's 'An Undivided Heart' challenge you, comfort you, and maybe even change the way you see your walk of faith. It’s more than a song; it's a wakeup call to live fully, love deeply, and walk boldly into the life God's calling us to.

(Related scripture: Psalm 86:11; James 1:8; Matthew 6:24)

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"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....

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
