'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...

"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...
