'Sweet Surrender (Live)' by Mark & Sarah Tillman: A Worship Experience Awaiting


Have you experienced moments when you felt such an overwhelming sense of God's love that you wished these moments could last forever? Mark & Sarah Tillman's live version of 'Sweet Surrender' is about that kind of moment. It started out as a simple prayer and grew into a powerful worship experience that reminds us what happens when we put God first in our lives. 

Mark & Sarah Tillman - Sweet Surrender (Live)You're invited into a moment where time seems to stand still, and it's just you and God. Picture being able to get rid of the idols that are taking over your life and the possibility of taking back the things that you blamed on our Creator. Mark and Sarah's song reflects how desperately we want to be pure and have strong faith, so we can grow closer to God and stay in His presence. 

The song encourages us to worship, bow down, and give up every one of our own 'wants' in God's boundless love. It also sings about recognizing His 'fire inside' and allowing His love to untangle our problems while shaping us into the person He wants us to be. 

'Sweet Surrender' is a song to experience, to play during your quiet moments and spiritual celebrations, and guide you back to a sacred place of complete trust and adoration. This song is your invitation back to the heart of worship, where there's only God, His love, embracing you in His sweet and endless surrender.

(Related scripture: James 4:8; Psalm 115:4-8; Hebrews 12:28-29)

"Thankful" by Lowen: The Practice of Being Thankful

Lowen's "Thankful" isn't one of those typical feel-good gratitude songs. Life is good most of the time… and even when it hurts, there's often something quietly waiting inside the pain, like a lesson, a softening, or a deeper understanding. Lowen found inspiration for this song in what Stephen Colbert once said, "… he learned to love the thing he most wished had never happened, and that simply being here is a gift. Gratitude means holding all of it, not just the easy parts."   The lyrics open with a warm anchor: "Every day that I wake, I just feel so thankful." We're encouraged not to flinch from the messy middle. This is not about ignoring life's quakes! Lowen admits, "honesty is telling me I need space" when the world feels unsteady. In other words, the gratitude that Lowen sings about isn't about forcing a smile through pain — it's about meeting every moment (including the hard moments) with presence, care, and res...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith. The opening line, "How wonderful is the cross of Christ,"  draws us into praise.  The song invites us to repentance and faith, but more importantly, the lyrics magnify the Trinity: the Father's eternal plan, the Son's sacrifice, and the Spirit's ongoing work in us. The song celebrates how every part of God is involved in redeeming us!  Have you ever wondered how a song can feel so unifying? That's the beauty of this song! It calls us, the Church, to stand together in bold praise. Instead of focusing on what divides us, it points us upwards, looking to our God who is glorious in love, power, and purpose. It encourages us to see the love of the Father, the blood of the Son, and how it is applied by the Holy Spirit.  There's no abstract theology in this song… the ...
