"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.

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford: Forgiven by the Cross, Made Whole

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford retells the well-known story of Christ's sacrifice with a deep personal gratitude. A new rendition of a song that Avery first introduced at a 1993 youth rally on a humble blue cassette tape (!) with the lyrics that focus on Jesus' innocence, His willingness to suffer, and the mystery of a love that is beyond anything we are able to comprehend. Instead of dwelling only on the sorrow, Avery points us to the hope that His tears have made possible. You hear him marvel at Christ's mercy, remind us of His forgiveness even in suffering, and celebrate the healing that comes from a life that He has made whole. The message in this worship anthem, reimagined with cinematic flair, is simple (but not easy): Jesus gave everything, and there is nothing we can do or could have done to earn such an ultimate sacrifice. "With tears in Your eyes, You died for me," but most of all, the lyrics highlight redemption's triu...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

"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....
