Jaynie Hansen's 'Worthy': A Celebration of God's Unending Goodness


Jaynie Hansen's song 'Worthy' is a joyful song calling us to praise His worthy name. Jaynie wrote Worthy in college, sitting behind a piano in one of the practice rooms. She wanted to write something that was a bit more upbeat that the more reflective, slower-moving songs she usually writes.

Jaynie Hansen - WorthyInspired by Psalm 34:1, 'I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth,' Jaynie penned this song straight from her heart. She was speaking God's truth into her own discouragement and, at the same time, knew that there are people who need to know His goodness, either for the first time or on a deeper level.

As followers of Christ, we need to be reminded from time to time of who we are in Him and why we can and should declare His worth. Jaynie captured the essence of why Jesus is worthy of our praise. The lyrics tell us about His awesome deeds - freeing us from death, transforming our hearts, giving us strength, and illuminating our path.

Go ahead and listen to 'Worthy' by Jaynie Hansen. May this song encourage you to share God's truth with the world around you, and boldly declare, through your actions or words, 'Worthy, worthy is Your name.'

(Related scripture: Psalm 34:1; Romans 8:37-39; Psalm 27:1; Philippians 2:9-11)

"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...
