ANO's 'Reputation (Lay It All Down)': A Melody of Liberation


When you hit play, ANO’s “Reputation (Lay It All Down)” floods the room. The song is a calling, a voice reminding you of Philippians 2. How Jesus laid it all out just for you. That kind of love is unparalleled, and ANO captures this essence perfectly.

ANO - Reputation (Lay It All Down)The message is clear: Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross created a way for you to lay down your burdens at His feet. Life’s tough and He knows it. The weight of life that you’re carrying? The gift He has for you is the promise that you don’t have to carry that weight alone. This song is a musical embrace and whispering truths of surrender and liberation.

ANO invites you to declutter your heart, and give those heavy dreams & the pressure to achieve to Jesus. ANO sets the stage for your heart to echo the lyrics: “My reputation, I lay it all down.” She’s talking about freedom that can only be found through Christ.

You can walk through life unburdened and with boldness. That’s the message that ANO is giving you. When you lay it all down at His feet, there’s a promise of receiving something back that is far more better: His joy, His peace, His purpose.

If you’re craving a connection with God, and a reminder that you’re meant for more, then give this track a listen. Let ANO’s voice lead you to a place of trust and true freedom in Jesus.

"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...
