'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.

"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...
