Jonathan Allen Wright Sings of Surrender in "Death of a Dream"


Jonathan Allen Wright's "Death of a Dream" is a reminder that God is the giver of our 'dreams' and that He controls the plans and outcomes of those dreams. In this ambient indie folk tune, Wright draws parallels to the biblical Shunammite woman's endurance, teaching us to trust in God's sovereignty even when our aspirations seem to crumble. 

Jonathan Allen Wright - Death of a DreamThe lyrics describe the struggle and vulnerability, a cry for God that ultimately results in knowing that God is deeply connected to us - "inside my bones," and will never abandon us. Wright's lyrics lead up to the realization that God is our constant, His love a compass that leads us out of our comfort zones into His embrace, and proves that even in the perceived "death" of a dream, we will find life in the purpose that He has for us.

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...

"Stepp'n In Big Faith" by Colyn Kristopher: Why Faith Moves Before Proof Arrives

The song reminds us that we should overcome fear and puts an emphasis on leaving fear behind and instead embrace a life guided by God’s plan for us and find our purpose in life in accordance to God’s will (0:41, 0:43). It cannot be discounted that life often deals us with a bad hand, and we’d just have to roll with the punches. But being resilient amidst adversity helps us get through life’s diff...
