'Secret - AD Radio Mix' by Lilli: Discovering Your True Worth Through Song


Lilli - Secret - AD Radio Mix

Lilli’s song, “Secret — AD Radio Mix,” is an invitation to look at your true identity through the lens of God’s unending love. This song is very to Lilli, triggered by watching her friends struggle, all because they didn’t know who they really are, nor were they able to feel God’s love surrounding them.

The lyrics are filled with metaphors, sometimes making it a challenge to grasp its meaning. In the first verse, Lilli observes: “Asking your questions to the sky / You from silence to screaming why / Swapping your memories for a bottle.” Possibly you experience (or have experienced) this as well…. an often-painful search for true meaning in life. Moments where we may have traded peace for fleeting distractions, only to find regret waiting on the other side.

In the chorus, you hear Lilli’s cry: “Are you running on empty / So that you’re not running at all / Are you living just to die? / Running out of time to kill / Can I tell you a secret?” Reaching out to others with an open heart, ready to share the life-changing truth we experience in Christ. A truth that unlocks our a realization that our worth can be found in the immense love that God has for us.

What started as a message for Lilli’s friends is also her message to you. An invitation to experience a deep connection with God, a connection that will hold you strong in times of uncertainty. Look at how Lilli nails this feeling in the bridge, saying, “Did they tell you / You won’t be heard but you will be seen / Just let me tell you.” What more do we need? An invitation to come as you are, to be real, to feel seen and loved.

Give “Secret — AD Radio Mix” a listen. May it remind you of who you truly are, how God truly loves you as you are, and wants to be part of your life.

(Related scripture: Hebrews 4:16; Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 34:18; Romans 8:38-39)

"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...
