'Give To You' by Gabriel Giammaria - Trusting God's Plan


Gabriel Giammaria's song, 'Give To You', is not only a beautiful worship song, it's also a prayer. 'What's Your will for my life?', Gabriel asks, and the lyrics contain his journey of discernment, surrendering everything to God, and embracing that His way as being is the best for us. Some days Gabriel feels confident in His direction, while other days, it's not so clear. It's almost as if He is singing about my own journey, and I would be surprized if these lyrics reflect parts of your journey as well.

Gabriel Giammaria - Give To YouI chuckled while I listened when I realized that I'm often wrestling with life's uncertainties on my own, even though I know that I can trust in the One who holds all the answers. 'Little did I know what You want from me and what I should let go,' he sings about that all-too-familiar feeling of not having everything figured out.

When your thoughts are racing and you're chasing 'empty dreams,' it's humbling to realize you can't do it alone, and that this is perfectly okay as long as we turn to God. God knows your wrongs and rights, and He can turn your darkness into light. So why not stop running and trying to hide? Gabriel's message is that you'll find peace and clarity when you surrender everything to God.

Take a few minutes to listen to 'Give To You'. It's a prayer we all need to help you understand God's plan for you.

(Related scripture: Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 37:5; Proverbs 3:5-6)

"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...
