Nick Rector's 'How Can It Be': An Anthem of the Heavenly Promise


'How Can It Be,' by Nick Rector, is a song with a story that was carefully shaped over the years. A song influenced by other songs about God's throne and His saving grace. You feel the reverence behind every word. 

Nick Rector - How Can It BeNick does a great job of describing the mystery of God moving the planets and taking on a human form, something that is both overwhelming and extremely intimate. The words make you thankful for the God who came to earth to become man and died for our salvation. 

As I listen to the song, my mind ponders on His love-that He was painfully nailed to a cross, and paved the way for us to be eternally free. It becomes a prayer, a declaration, and a benediction that shapes our lives as Christians. 

What a beautiful reminder that Jesus is worthy of our lives and our love. He is enough! We can rest in the fact that He is more than enough, and we can find comfort through His sacrifice. So go ahead, listen to the song and join in the endless anthem of His worth.

(Related scripture: Colossians 1:16-17; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Revelation 5:12)

"I Need God" by Richard Baś: Because Nothing Else Really Satisfies

Have you ever chased what you thought was peace and come up empty?  “I Need God” by Richard Baś is a song for people who keep searching and never find enough. Richard wanted a Christian song with energy and edge — something that causes listeners to experience certain emotions that are regularly not in the Christian genre. The song opens with restlessness: “These days I’m running from my own shadow,” he sings, “trying to find a peace of mind.” He tries love. He tries drugs. He tries more. Nothing changes. That’s the trap that so many of us already know. We chase one thing, then another, hoping the next thing will finally be enough… But it never really is.  There is a shift in the song. “Jesus has set me free and I, I am free now,” Richard declares. The running stops. The striving stops. Richard names it clearly: “Yeah I need God.”   The song echoes the same message that we read in Psalm 42:1–2: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My so...

"I'm Still Going to Praise You" by Die Taube: Choosing Praise in the Waiting

Can worship survive a season without answers?  Some seasons don’t resolve on schedule. “I’m Still Going to Praise You” by Die Taube ( ‘the dove’ ) was born from one of those seasons — infertility sitting alongside a father’s cancer diagnosis, disappointment stacking on disappointment. The song is part of an upcoming album, Pilgrimage, releasing one song per month until December. The album is a crossing, not a recovery, not getting back to who one was but coming through changed. The opening line of the song sets the whole tone: “Thank You has no seasons, worship does not wait.” God’s worthiness does not depend on our circumstances. Even when circumstances stay unresolved, we decide to look beyond our circumstances to praise and worship Him.  Notice what the second verse admits. “When I feel like I’ve got nothing and other times so much”  — our praises aren’t conditional on constant victory. The song is honest about fluctuating faith, and pairs it with a steady choice underneat...

"I Love to Praise Your Name" by Chrystal: Worship That Survives the Storm

A declaration of consistent devotion and faithfulness to God (by Jasper Tan) Chrystal Williams-Alberty’s “I Love to Praise Your Name” is a beautiful and heartfelt contemporary praise and worship song. The song focuses on our devotion and adoration to our God. The lyrics are simple but deep in expression. Reminding us that to worship God is a lifelong commitment, and we should always give our gratitude and faithfulness to our loving God. The song shares a message that is similar to Psalm 34:1 —  “I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Chrystal came up with the song from her own personal experiences where she wants to praise God even in her most difficult times. This shows us that praising God isn’t just when things are going our way, but even in the most trying times; our devotion and faithfulness to him must remain constant. This is what makes this song beautiful because it came from a place of sincerity and raw honesty. Chrystal shows her unw...
