'Why Wouldn't I Run?' by Lee Park Worship: An Invitation You Can't Ignore


Let me dive right into it: 'Why Wouldn't I Run?' by Lee Park Worship isn't your ordinary type of praise song. It's more like a heart-to-heart chat with a good friend over coffee, only this friend is called 'Faith' and he is challenging you to step up. We've all been there, trying to nail life on our own, pretending we've got it all figured out. But deep down, we know that when we lean into His goodness, that feeling of being alone fades away. Every... single... time!

Lee Park Worship - Why Wouldn’t I Run?Here's the kicker: Jesus already laid down the groundwork. He’s already did all of the heavy lifting. The burning question that this song is asking you is: 'Why wouldn't you run to Him?' You already have a picture of the peace, rest, and the unconditional love that is waiting for you. So, what's stopping you?

Lee Park Worship captures this divine lesson so beautifully. It's like they're whispering in your ear, reminding you of this truth that we so often forget as we go through life's chaos. This song isn't just for your playlist; it's especially for those moments when you're on the brink, teetering between faith and despair. It’s a reminder of His open arms and the amazing grace that is awaiting us.

So, why wouldn't you give it a listen? Let it play in the background of your day, your life. Let it nudge you gently towards Him. Because, in the end, when His love is calling out to you so clearly, running seems to be the only logical response, doesn't it?

(Related scripture: Hebrews 4:16; Jeremiah 31:3; John 14:27)

"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 ...

"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....

"Be Thou My Vision" by Son Francisco: Updating a Traditional Christian Hymn for the Modern Times.

Originally, "Be Thou My Vision" is a Christian Hymn that traces its roots to Ireland and Scotland. It is one of the most popular Christian Hymns in the United Kingdom. It has been interpreted multiple times by contemporary artists, mostly retrieving the Slane tune. I've heard the different versions of the song, most notably the one interpreted by contemporary artist Audrey Assad. But Son Francisco's version is a breath of fresh air. Composed and arranged as a ballad/lullaby, it evokes a Leonard Cohen-type song (though on the softer side of rock). I mean, there are really no replacements for the solemnity and the purity of the original hymnal version. But this is the type of arrangement that you can bring out to the secular world and transform the song into a more modern version. I love the subtlety of how Francisco attacks the opening lines of the song "Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my hear Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art…." It flows beautifully...
