'No Looking Back' by Lucio Hirales: A Melody of Freedom


Are you breaking away from your past and leaving the old you behind? This is exactly what Lucio Hirales sings about in 'No Looking Back'. We regularly come to a personal crossroad, a place where we leave parts of us behind, and move to a new and better version of ourselves. Sometimes we're freeing ourselves from small things, and other times it can be a major change. A past with all of its shadows and chains, and when you look forward, there's the new and better you. The past is so familiar and each time you think of it, it feels like it is begging you to come back to be that old you again.

Lucio Hirales - No Looking BackLucio's message is one that assures you that there’s never a good excuse to give up the freedom, a freedom where you’re loved and your future is shining bright with promise.

Lucio's own journey from brokenness to wholeness fuels this heartfelt anthem. He was once caught up in a web of addiction and guilt, when he experienced a transformation that was so profound, that it birthed a declaration from the heart in the form of a melody: a promis that he will never return to his old ways because God has created a new path for him.

Possibly you may recognize some of your own struggles in the lyrics—knowing that even though the old life is gone, you still face the daily battles, the temptation to revert. But the chorus is a message of hope, where God’s goodness and redemption wipes away every reason for you to look back. If you’ve ever struggled to shake off the chains of your past, then let Lucito's powerful refrain echo in your heart. Freedom is waiting, a light that never dims, and yes, there's a love waiting for us that never fails.

The bridge is a promise that going back to the past is not an option. This bridge is bold, and it's messages like this that can support you during your walk with Christ. A musical companion that reminds you to keep going and to never look back. Listen to 'No Looking Back' now. May this song lead you to the dawn of God's unfailing grace.

"As My Body Breaks" by Iossa: Faith That Defies Suffering

Sometimes the seed for the most powerful worship is planted during life's weakest moments. The idea for "As My Body Breaks" by Iossa originated in a hospital room, where Filipino singer Jyel Tagbo was fighting Stage 5 kidney disease. Dean Mark Hilario Enoza saw how Jyel continued to worship with unwavering faith in the midst of extreme pain and suffering. The lyrics for this song are deeply inspired by Jyel's journey, and it shouldn't be a surprise that the song is dedicated to him.  So, what do you sing when pain becomes your daily companion? The second verse confesses, "The poison creeps, the pain runs deep," but despair isn't an option! The chorus encourages you to look beyond despair: "Is this the end, the last refrain? // But I believe, I'll sing again." That feeling of despair isn't the end of the story. With God by your side, whatever feels like a breaking point will become a breakthrough moment: "As my body breaks, my...

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...

"Gentle" by Andrew Macdonald: Finding Grace in Life's Hardest Moments

(by Jasper Tan) Have you heard of any heartfelt song lately that elaborates on the pain, yet the yearning for healing feels so heart-wrenching? Andrew Macdonald's latest song, "Gentle," feels just like that. In what seems like a conversational piece with someone, the song actually is a prayer yearning for God's grace and healing. The lush sound of the acoustic guitar, coupled with the heartfelt delivery of the vocals, delivers a certain kind of sincerity wherein Andrew pours his heart out to Jesus. It is very seldom to hear songs wherein the singer cuts through our emotions just enough for us to feel an affinity to his pleas. And Andrew's outreach for help through prayer is something that really cuts through our own pains when we are in those moments of vulnerability while we deal with our own issues. Though the song starts off as a sad song and the lines that are delivered feel so gloomy and hopeless, the song makes a stark change for the better when it starts to...
