'He Rescued Me' by Cindy Marie Clark: Dance Through the Darkness


Imagine sitting in your room feeling gloomy, lights dimmed, and you let your music app randomly select a song for you. Cindy Marie Clark's voice pierces the silence with 'He Rescued Me,' a melody infused with a truth you've lived - a truth we've all felt in the tug-of-war with darkness. 

Cindy Marie Clark - He Rescued MeYou've had days, haven't you? The kind of days where it felt like the sun forgot to do its job and shadows lingered longer than they were welcome. You're not the only one who has these moments. Cindy was there - wrestling with anxiety, pain, and loss so raw, it stilled her song. But then, life came with a beautiful plot twist: He reached down, pulled her from the depths, and set her heart to dancing. 

You know life's waves can knock the wind right out of the sails. Maybe it's a lost job, a prodigal child, a silent battle with addiction, or love that's taken a detour. Cindy's story reminds us that whatever is broken can be fixed - that the ropes of despair unwinding can turn into rescue lines of grace. 

As you listen to 'He Rescued Me,' you're hearing the heartbeat of hope, and the sound of deliverance. It's not just about Cindy's rescue; it's an open invitation to your own revival. Whip out that air guitar. Stomp that kitchen tile. His right hand is on you, too. 

Whether it's the hundredth time or the first time you listen, you'll feel the cords of grace overwhelm the dark, knowing that His love has got this dance, and you're meant to be on the floor - not the sidelines. 'He Rescued Me' isn't just Cindy's anthem - it's yours. It's ours.

(Related scripture: Psalm 18:16; Psalm 116:1-2; Psalm 116:7)

"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...
