"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)

"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...
