Luminate House’s ‘Open My Eyes’: A Heartfelt Prayer in Song


Luminate House releases their 4th song, called 'Open My Eyes', featuring Joe Garza and Angel Toakesse. It's a beautiful prayer asking God to open our eyes to His daily blessings. Not only the big blessings, but especially those small miracles that often get lost in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. 

Luminate House -What makes 'Open My Eyes' special is how it draws you in, and ignites a longing to sit in God's presence. Lines like, 'You are my God, blessing me always, true to your word,' wrapped in a warm melody, increasing your longing to those special moments that you can hear His voice and feel His guiding hand. 

'You make a way, open my eyes,' a chorus that reminds us that God is our waymaker, if we are ready to see it. Sure, life can blindside us, but you can count on God to find a way to lead you through it. It is such a comfort to know that we're not alone! 

Even though we live in such a noisy world, it is so important that create time and space to God, 'I give you this space, I'm listening now, as I sit and wait, Lord speak to me now.' How often do we take time to listen to Him? By listening, we allow Him to shape our lives and refine our hearts. 

May 'Open My Eyes' inspire you to open your eyes to His blessings, and listen to His voice. deepen your faith, and to remind you of God's unwavering faithfulness, Go ahead, give it a listen. I trust that you'll feel His love surround you.

(Related scripture: Psalm 119:18; Isaiah 42:16; John 10:11)

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
