Blessed by Yair Levi: A Musical Echo of God's Unchanging Promises


Yair Levi released the song as part of ‘The Church Will Sing’ project called “Blessed,” a song about God’s promises. God’s words are perfect, His heart unchanging, and His promises forever standing. “Blessed” encourages us to be channels of blessing. Through acts of kindness and support toward "Israel," blessings flow back to us and outward to the whole world.

Yair levi - BlessedThe usage of “Israel” is where the present content filters on various platforms get in the way of God’s word. When lyrics are citing parts of the Bible that mention Israel, these content filters demonstrate the ignorance (or political pressures) of the persons who created them, blocking and even banning the user who put these lyrics online. That is what Yair Levi is facing at the moment. Living in Israel, putting up these lyrics, and the inability of a content filter to see the difference between a quote from many years ago that doesn’t have anything to do with present day politics or even distinguish the difference between the physical Israel and the spiritual Israel.

It is so sad what is happening in the world today, and that fear and politics are driving people to make poor choices, even to the point where they are stopping others from spreading God’s truths. So, I leave you with the song and the lyrics to decide for yourself if this song is an invitation to be part of something bigger than ourselves — God’s unending story of love and redemption.

(Related scripture: Genesis 12:3; Psalm 122:6; Numbers 23:19)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
