Charity Abbott's 'Turn My Faith': A Heartfelt Call Back to God


Turn My Faith' was written by Charity Abbott, Matt Moss, and Joy Dame. Matt Moss did the instrumentals and harmonies as a collaboration on the song with Charity. This song is such a powerful anchor of hope in the chaos of everyday life. Beautiful lyrics that redirect our focus to the One who will never fail us. The One who guides His followers through their darkest nights with a promise that He's always there, always ready to hold us up. 

Charity Abbott - Turn My FaithWe all know that life can throw some nasty curveballs. We've all had moments where we're caught in the rush of doubts, fears, and the many 'what-if's' that cloud our days. Charity has faced these distractions as well and shares how she manages to refocus during her own battles with depression and anxiety. 'Turn My Faith' isn't just Charity's journey; it's a journey that may sound familiar to quite a few listeners. All through the lyric, there is a gentle yet powerful reminder to shift our focus from our own struggles and refocus on the strength and love of God. He's the constant factor in our lives. It's His love and promises that form the firm foundation we need to stand strong in a world that's constantly shifting. 

The heart of the song is in its raw honesty and search for peace in life's chaos. We've all had moments, like Matt Moss, where misunderstanding God's intent resulted in decisions that didn't work out (and in Matt's case, also caused sorrow), but by keeping our focus on God's unfailing love and peace, inner peace is restored. 

So, give it a listen. Let its words remind you of where your faith should be focused. In a world eager to pull us away from our anchor, 'Turn My Faith' calls us back home, back to the heart of God, where we will find true peace, joy, and the strength to face another day.

(Related scripture: Hebrews 12:2; Philippians 4:6-7; Psalm 46:1-2)

"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...
