"Adoration Song" by Mark & Sarah Tillman: A Celebration of Eternal Worship


We're so excited about this radio edit of "Adoration Song" by Mark & Sarah Tillman, which features the South African artist Kingdmusic. The full version was released back in May 2024, and it was time for a radio edit. A renewed spark for a song that is so fitting as we enter this special season of the year, where it seems that so many more people are open to hear the praise: "Hosanna in the highest!" 

Mark & Sarah Tillman - Adoration SongThe idea for this song came while talking with a friend, exploring the question of what true adoration looks like for a God who is infinitely worthy. A link is quickly made to Psalms 102:12: "But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations." 

The lyrics are an honest reflection on what it really means to adore our God. Yes, what a blessing it is that we may call Him "our God!" Not just your God or my God, He is our God! That message is comes forward when you look at this collaboration, where Nashville's style is blended with South African vibrancy, an example that demonstrates one of the many ways that nations can unite in adoration of our God. 

There is only one who is truly worthy of our praise. When we hear Mark & Sarah sing, "Holy is the Lamb that reigns forever," it feels like an open invitation to join them along with angels and other saints.

(Related scripture: Psalms 102:12; Revelation 5:12; Psalms 86:9; John 1:29)

"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...
