'God Of My Life (Psalm 63)' by Cindy Clark: When Faith Transforms Fear into Freedom


Have you ever felt caught in the night, where fears seems to smother you and hope seems just out of reach? Cindy Clark's song, 'God Of My Life,' comes from this dark space and shows how God brings light into our darkest hours. Through her personal battle with panic attacks, Cindy experienced first hand how God delivers - an experience that that she shares through the lyrics and melodies of this heartfelt track. 

Cindy Clark - God Of My Life (Psalm 63)Right off the bat, you're met with a raw honesty and deep longing that anyone who's been in this wilderness of despair is most likely to recognize. The first line of the song, 'Oh God of my life, I'm love sick for you,' sets the tone of the song that many will recognize, our heart's deepest desire to really feel God's presence. Cindy reminds us that despite our feelings of loneliness and fear, God satisfies this craving of the heart. 

Cindy beatifully shifts our focus to look beyond the struggle, to finding peace and strength in the embrace of God, whose love is 'better than life.' She encourages us to praise Him and find joy in His protection, 'in the shadow of your wings.' 

Although 'God Of My Life' comes from a space of vulnerability and worship, it isn't just for those who've faced panic or fear; it's for all of us. It's a musical reminder that we don't have to be alone… By seeking God's love, our cries for help will be heard, and we will find true refuge in His presence. 

May Cindy's testimony through this song strengthen your faith. May you turn your heart to God, so that the red wave of Christ's blood can wash away all darkness. And most importantly, may this song encourage you to seek and praise God, the true 'God of my life,' in all seasons.

(Related scripture: Psalm 63:1; Psalm 63:3; Psalm 63:7)

"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...
