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)

"Lord You Are So Awesome" by Mario Tucker: Turning Everyday Moments into Praise

“Lord You Are So Awesome” by Mario Tucker is a reminder that worship doesn’t have to be complicated in order to be powerful. The song is based on the fact that what matters the most is that God’s greatness deserves our constant praise. Our praise doesn't have to meet any quality standards for it to be pleasing to God. So, ask yourself... when was the last time that you took a moment to say, “Lord you are so awesome / Lord you are so great / Your name is above the Heavens”? This song invites you to be constantly aware of God’s greatness, and that includes awareness outside the walls of church, like during car rides, your quiet time, and those precious triumphs in life. It's an awareness that leads to response. “So let’s praise and magnify your name.” Praise is not a matter of passively observing and responding... it’s a call to turn your admiration into active devotion. Think about it for a moment: what would change in your life if praise became your first reaction instead of ...

"Heaven On Earth" by Eauclaire: Finding Sacred Wonder in the Everyday

Have you ever struggled to see God's presence in your daily life? After a few chaotic days, it is easy to lose sight of the sacred. "Heaven On Earth" by Eauclaire is all about discovering the sacred in the everyday. An interesting fact is that the song was written beneath the "Looking Glass Arch" at the Heaven on Earth Music Festival in Moab, Utah (USA).  The song emphasizes that heaven isn't just a distant promise. And best of all, we don't need a "looking glass" to see that heaven is right here. So, instead of looking "out in the atmosphere," Eauclaire reminds us to simply "take a minute, take a breath," and get out of your head and into your chest.  Do you trust that God will order your steps, even when life gets heavy? Sure, easy to forget to see His hand around you, and the beauty is that you already have the ability to find His beauty and Love in the "wild flowers," the "golden hour," and even t...

"Repentance (20th Anniversary Edition)" by Thoughts and Notions: Remembering Christ’s Love Through Repentance

Thoughts And Notions released a 20th Anniversary Edition of their song "Repentance," emphasizing that the weight and purpose of this message is still very relevant to us today.  The song was originally inspired by The Passion of the Christ and shaped by the songwriter's memory of seeing a lone cross high above the Swiss Alps. The key message is less about performance and more about our response. It places us at the foot of the cross. When you listen to the lyrics, you'll notice that it is a prayer in song form, and one that looks straight at Christ's suffering. It asks you to reflect on the question: "what will you do with such love?"   The lyrics begin with awe: "I looked at your bloodied face" and "you laid down your life." From there, the lyrics move into an honest confession. "God, how I've been such a fool" isn't despair or an excuse to stay trapped in guilt. It is the first step toward His grace, a journey o...
