'Your Eyes' by Sam Bowman: A Musical Prayer for the Weary Soul


Sam Bowman's latest song, 'Your Eyes,' was based on the first 12 verses of Psalm 139. In this song, Sam talks about how God is always there for us, if we choose to follow Him, and knows everything about us, even the deepest things we think and do.

Sam Bowman - Your EyesImagine this comforting thought… it really doesn't matter where you are - whether you're sailing across the ocean or wrestling with your thoughts as you try to get to sleep at night - God's loving gaze is always with you. That is the reassurance this song is bringing. He is there even when it feels as if we are covered under a layer of darkness, because to God that darkness shines as brightly as day. Our God sees everything, and as a result we are never alone in our struggles.

The lyrics 'My head is an open book that You know well' and 'My heart is a windowpane You see right through' remind us that God already knows what we think and do, in other words, embrace this closeness to God instead of fearing it or trying to coverup our flaws.

As we listen, the lyrics sound more like a prayer, an admission of weakness, and a testament to God's unfailing love. May 'Your Eyes' give you the courage to let go of your burdens, and embrace the comfort that in God's eyes, you are always held, known, and loved.

(Related scripture: Psalm 139:1-2; Psalm 139:7-8; Proverbs 15:3)

"Hiding Place (Live)" by DBU Chapel Worship: Forgiven, Covered, and Free

How often do you hear worship songs being sung live in the comforts of your day-to-day living? For sure, there are a dime a dozen. Some you commonly share with the person next to you, featuring songs by popular Christian Artists. But there's a certain form of unique sincerity when one discovers a worship song that is yet to break through to a larger audience. This is how the song "Hiding Place" by DBU Chapel Worship featuring Olivia-Grace McKern felt like when I first listened to the song. It felt like a new testimony being told, of one's dedication to find God and remain in his presence.  Taking root from Psalm 32, the song is a collaboration of Olivia with a host of songwriters from the DBU Chapel Worship. Enriching her experience as a songwriter and moving her through the songwriting process. In perhaps a reflection of what the song eventually became, it wasn't so that Olivia conveniently hid behind the DBU Chapel Worship songwriters/musicians. This song is a c...

'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...
