‘Goodness of God’ by Cultivation Worship: A Beautiful Acoustic Cover


Cultivation Worship's rendition of 'Goodness of God' by Bethel Music is a beautiful acoustic cover, with an intimate blend of acoustic guitar, cello, a strong female lead, and male background vocals. It's a version they made for their church services, and loved so much by the congregation that the band decided to share it with the world.

Cultivation Worship - Goodness of GodFor anyone who is not that familiar with the song, the main theme of the song is about God's unwavering faithfulness (dispite everything we do to counter that) and His enduring goodness that is there to enter every moment of our lives (if we let Him in), and invites us to respond with gratitude and praise. 

It is because of His goodness that we can wake up each morning and lay our head down each night, fully aware that we are held in His loving hands. 'I love You, Lord // Oh, Your mercy never failed me // All my days, I've been held in Your hands,' the lyrics remind us that from dawn till dusk, we can experience His goodness. 

As the song unfolds with personal testimonies of God's faithfulness, tenderly sung, it becomes easier to open the door to your heart to Him, because: 'In the darkest night, You are close like no other // I've known You as a Father, I've known You as a Friend.' And that is exactly what He want to be for you as well… a Father and a Friend, ready with his comforting embrace, hoping that you'll remember His endless goodness even when you face some of life's toughest moments. 

The chorus, 'All my life You have been faithful // And all my life You have been so, so good,' strikes deep, especially when one realizes how often we push Him away with our actions, words, and sometimes giving Him the 'silent treatment'. The chorus acts for so many as a personal anthem, a constant reminder that He never leaves you. 

So, go ahead and hit play, and may Cultivation Worship's rendition of 'Goodness of God' encourage you to enjoy God's warm embrace today.

"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...
