Celebrating God's Grace: A Look at Bob Vogel's "The Wonders of His Love"


Bob Vogel's latest song, "The Wonders of His Love," is a heartwarming testament to God's endless grace. Bob shared that this song is what you'd call a "song in the night," just like what is spoken of in Psalm 42:8. This song "came" to Bob in the quiet of the night. He woke up with the song more or less spilling onto the page, and the final result is this divine melody. Bob had recently been listening to pastor Jacob Prince speak about how God's grace has been given to us through Jesus. 

Bob Vogel - The Wonders of His LoveThe lyrics are a beautiful reminder of the Lord's healing, forgiveness, and mercy. Bob sings of God's endless and patient love, a love that redeems us, fills us with good, and sets us back on track each and every time. Yes, we are blessed with a patient God, a Heavely Father that often watches us fall flat on our face, feeling the pain like every parent would, and is there to pick us back up again. His love is so great that we can fully rely on His support, until that day when we may literally fall into His loving embrace. Bob uses the imagery of rising on an eagle's wings, echoing Isaiah 40:31, and the celebration of the reign of our Lord and King. 

"The Wonders of His Love" is a powerful call to recognize His mercy, free ourselves from sins (with His help), and fill our hearts with endless songs of praise. May this song uplift you and inspire gratitude and worship in your heart wherever you are.

(Related scripture: Psalm 103:2-5; Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 103:11-12)

"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...
