"Whom Shall I Fear (Psalm 27)" by Cindy Clark: Songs Forged in Trial


Cindy Clark's song "Whom Shall I Fear (Psalm 27)" is a warm and empowering song, with lyrics that sound both familiar and refreshing. Cindy, described by many as a psalmist, has faced quite a few challenges of her own - from depression and chronic pain to addiction and devastating personal losses. Many would have thrown in the towel, but not Cindy. Jesus drew Cindy to the piano, and that's where she found healing by singing His word. By putting His words to music, her songs not only feel comforting; she brings God's Word in a manner that helps mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. 

Cindy Clark - Whom Shall I Fear (Psalm 27)Most of the lyrics in "Whom Shall I Fear (Psalm 27)" can be led back to the first 14 verses of Psalm 27. These verses are so powerful and are a constant reminder of God's protection and guidance. Cindy's voice powerfully delivers lines like "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" and "The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" Golden nuggets of unshakeable faith that point us to our Lord, even in our darkest moments. 

Cindy's music is not just about making beautiful music; it's an encouragement to also experience God's loving rescue. Cindy encourages you to "Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart," and trust that "He will hide me in his sanctuary." Precious verses that also gave Cindy strength during her own challenges, verses that will also draw you closer to the heart of the Father. 

So, if you're in need of a reminder that God is always there for you, ready to embrace you with His love and guide you on your journey, then give "Whom Shall I Fear (Psalm 27)" a listen. May you too find strength and comfort in this song.

(Related scripture: Psalm 27:1; Psalm 27:4-5; Psalm 27:13-14)

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"How Good You Are" by ECTaylor: His Goodness Shines in Our Darkest Places

ECTaylor wrote "How Good You Are" one early morning while sitting outside alone, watching the sunrise and listening to the peaceful sounds of the woods. After more than a share of life's challenges, ECTaylor felt something almost sacred as the first light of day broke through the trees. He speaks about a "deep, whispered reminder of God's goodness that shines even in our darkest places." The lyrics immediately set the tone, "When morning breaks with golden light, Your mercy lifts me from the night," a tone of hope. It's amazing how simple wonders of nature, like the sparrow's singing and the flowing of a river, can remind us of God and His constant presence. ECTaylor shares, "I thought about Paul, worshiping God from a prison cell. I finally began to understand just a bit of how he could praise and be thankful in the midst of pain—because when you truly see who God is, gratitude rises above circumstance." Sometimes we are trappe...

'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...
