'Higher Ground' by Noah Hobson - Finding Hope on Higher Ground


'Higher Ground,' a song by Noah Hobson, is a beautiful song that focusses on Christ's sacrifice and God's endless grace. The lyrics were inspired by Luke 22:42, where Jesus asks the Father to 'take this cup from me.' When we think about that important moment in Gethsemane and how it relates to our own struggles and victories, we too can say, 'You took this cup and saved me from myself on higher ground.' 

Noah Hobson - Higher GroundAs you listen, you'll hear the sincerity of Noah in every line, speaking to everyone that is in need of a fresh start: 'I stand on higher ground, And that is where my hope is found. I am laying down what's proud, and now I'm found on higher ground.' These words aren't just song lyrics; they illustrate that Christ can give us new faith and ultimate freedom (if you invite Him into your life). 

'Higher Ground' strikes a chord with anyone that is struggling with their shortcomings, and shares a message of the redemption and transformation that we all may receive in Christ alone. So dive into this song, let the lyrics lead your way to 'higher ground.' May this song inspire to invite Christ into your life, and by doing so, find your place above sin and eternally wrapped in God's everlasting grace.

(Related scripture: Luke 22:42, Romans 5:8, Isaiah 55:8-9, 2 Corinthians 5:17)

'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...

"REVIVAL" by Chad Chaney: Igniting Worship and Renewal

Is there really hope for a Christian Revival movement in these current times? For worship leader Chad Chaney, hope is already here. And this is the premise of his song "Revival." As a worship leader, Chad has the privilege of witnessing people encounter Jesus for the very first time and watching their lives begin to change. And it truly is a sight of beauty and hope. It is through his song "Revival" that he sings about witnessing all these. These are not mere lyrics written from an imagination or inspiration, but in fact, it is his living testimony of seeing people turn their hearts back to Jesus, returning to his fold, and being one with God's promise of hope, love, and salvation. Just the sight of seeing people's voices lifted in praise, hands raised in surrender, and hearts opening to our Lord and Savior is truly an inspiration.  Chad hopes that this song will be sung in churches across the country, stirring faith, inspiring courage, and celebrating the p...

"Thankful" by John Long: Gratitude in Every Season

"Thankful" is a song that John Long wrote while looking back on a period where he spent years leading worship in a move of God that changed his life. John writes: "I saw miracles, restoration, and hearts returning to Jesus. That season also ended painfully for me, and I had to learn how to stay tender and keep worship centered on Him when the noise faded."   This song isn't about dwelling on our feelings of loss. It's about choosing gratitude, remembering what God has done, and looking forward to returning to Him with gratefulness. It's about opening our eyes to see that He is shining in our lives and always there to light up the way forward, even in the darkest times. Recognize and acknowledge His hand with gratitude.  "Thankful" invites us to start by placing our trust and focus on Jesus. It encourages us to look forward to the simplicity of just being with Him, instead of allowing ourselves to get lost in the noise of fleeting moments and ot...
