'Take All The Glory' by Raymond Okeke-Macauley: Driving Home Jesus’s Steadfast Love


Picture yourself driving along a highway, your mind distracted and a near miss with a motorcycle brings everything into sharp focus - your vulnerability, life's fleeting moments, the ceaseless grace that carries you through. That is happened as Raymond Okeke-Macauley's was writing 'Take All The Glory', and this near miss found it's way into the melody at the 1:47 minute mark as a gentle reminder. A song sparked from a thankful heart, inviting you to join in its praise.

Raymond Okeke-Macauley - Take All The GloryEach verse reminds us that, despite other people's best intentions, it's Jesus who is and remains our unwavering rock. No one else displays such a deep love for us, offers healing for our unseen wounds, or opens doors that we thought were permanently closed. The song reflects our own lives, our story told through vibrant lyrics and melody. 

The chorus is a reminder to lift your eyes and hands in praise to Him, who leads you to victory and comforts you in your trials. 'You deserve it all' was first sung as a spontaneous response to being shielded from an accident. That very line could be your anthem for daily deliverance and continuous blessing. 

So, take a moment to listen, soak up the music, and join this symphony of gratitude. Because truly, every little thing we have, every big thing we're part of - it's by His grace, for His glory.

(Related scripture: John 9:25; Romans 5:8; Revelation 3:7)

'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...

"the cost (given for us)" by HOMECOMING: Feeling the Weight of Grace

HOMECOMING's "the cost (given for us)" looks at the weight of what Jesus gave up to save humanity. The backstory that HOMECOMING wrote this song after talking about how easy it is to say "Jesus died for me" without really thinking about what that means. Like, what did it actually cost Him? Their approach wasn't to create another "thank You" song, but a song that invites us to slow down and truly feel the sacrifice He made. His sacrifice wasn't just a painful moment on a cross. It was everything. He gave up heaven. He was rejected, betrayed, beaten… and He still chose the cross for us. That kind of love doesn't make sense. But it's real. The lyrics give words to the awe we feel: "You took my place // How can it be // By your grace I'm saved." And lines like "Your blood washed me clean" and "By your stripes I'm healed" remind us of the freedom and healing that He paid for. Then comes the part that ...

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common: Letting Go of People-Pleasing for Good

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common is an interesting song that was born out of this duo's struggles with wanting to please people and the pressure they felt to perform. The song reminds us to stop chasing others for their approval and start chasing Jesus instead. "I'm so done tryna be someone else just to keep people's attention," they sing. It can be very exhausting to constantly pretend and perform. The song reminds us to keep our hearts and lives centered on Jesus—the only one who truly is worthy of being our role model. Not for applause. Not for attention. But because His way is the only one that brings real peace and fulfillment in our lives.  The need to please others and perform is probably a feeling that many of us know all too well — but it doesn't have to define us.  The lyrics of the song put the issue right there on the table: "Who am I tryna be, who am I tryna please? That's the question." And the answer? Ofcourse, Jesus i...
