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)

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...

'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...

"Good Grace / Clean Slate" by Century Worship: Heaven Came Down to Meet You

There is no one like Jesus. That's the key message of "Good Grace / Clean Slate - Live" by Century Worship, and once this truth sinks in, it's hard to shake. The song opens with a question that stops you in your tracks, pulling the essence of Christ's sacrifice right into your life: "Who is God that He would take our place?" Just think about it for a moment... what kind of God steps down from glory to walk the very ground He created and pay the price on your behalf? The answer to this question unfolds throughout the song. This answer talks about this exchange. "Good grace, clean slate // God met me where I was,"  a God who doesn't wait for you to get it together. He came down and paid it all. That's the story. That's the gospel. The bridge declares: "There's never been, never been, anyone like our God." Century Worship isn't asking you to take their word for it... They're inviting you into the moment where th...
