Discover the Hope in 'Lifegiver' by Matt LeFait


'Lifegiver' by Matt LeFait is a beautiful song centered on how God saves and gives us new life. This song was written after Matt and his family had recently gone through a difficult period in their lives, filled with pain and stress. Suddenly, life felt as if it had been renewed, and Matt felt the need to capture that feeling into a song.

Matt LeFait - LifegiverThe pre-chorus powerfully says, “Just when I feel that my life’s not part of your plan, endless mercy shows me that you hold my hand.” God's grace never fades, and this echoes Ephesians 2:4-5, where it reminds us of God’s rich love and mercy, making us alive together with Christ even when we were at our lowest.

You can feel this deeply in lyrics like, “You’re my constant overflow when my well runs dry.” Matt describes God as the anchor that holds steadfast until the waves calm, offering peace and rest through every storm we face.

As Matt sings, “Here I am I’m sanctified, I once was dead but now alive,” you’re drawn into a testimony of transformation and freedom. There are many references to this freedom in Christ throughout the song, and this reminds us that we may be free and unbound in His love, if we accept Him as our Lifegiver and Savior.

Feel free to listen to 'Lifegiver' if you haven't already. Feel the words in your heart as you close your eyes. May Matt's story of new life and God's unending grace encourage you today.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:4-5; John 11:25-26; Psalm 23:3-4 )

'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...

"the cost (given for us)" by HOMECOMING: Feeling the Weight of Grace

HOMECOMING's "the cost (given for us)" looks at the weight of what Jesus gave up to save humanity. The backstory that HOMECOMING wrote this song after talking about how easy it is to say "Jesus died for me" without really thinking about what that means. Like, what did it actually cost Him? Their approach wasn't to create another "thank You" song, but a song that invites us to slow down and truly feel the sacrifice He made. His sacrifice wasn't just a painful moment on a cross. It was everything. He gave up heaven. He was rejected, betrayed, beaten… and He still chose the cross for us. That kind of love doesn't make sense. But it's real. The lyrics give words to the awe we feel: "You took my place // How can it be // By your grace I'm saved." And lines like "Your blood washed me clean" and "By your stripes I'm healed" remind us of the freedom and healing that He paid for. Then comes the part that ...

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common: Letting Go of People-Pleasing for Good

"Wanna Be Like You" by One Common is an interesting song that was born out of this duo's struggles with wanting to please people and the pressure they felt to perform. The song reminds us to stop chasing others for their approval and start chasing Jesus instead. "I'm so done tryna be someone else just to keep people's attention," they sing. It can be very exhausting to constantly pretend and perform. The song reminds us to keep our hearts and lives centered on Jesus—the only one who truly is worthy of being our role model. Not for applause. Not for attention. But because His way is the only one that brings real peace and fulfillment in our lives.  The need to please others and perform is probably a feeling that many of us know all too well — but it doesn't have to define us.  The lyrics of the song put the issue right there on the table: "Who am I tryna be, who am I tryna please? That's the question." And the answer? Ofcourse, Jesus i...
