Sherwood Worship's "Almighty (Song of Ascent) [Live]": A Song of Unwavering Faith


Sherwood Worship's live rendition of "Almighty (Song of Ascent)" is a powerful, energetic worship song. The lyrics were inspired by the Psalms of Ascent, and declare an unwavering trust in God's promises and His divine victory, and for many, this may be easier said than done.

Sherwood Worship - Almighty (Song of Ascent) [Live]The song's message and intent are clear: God is our steadfast protector and the only true source of hope. The opening lines immediately set the theme for the song, "O the Lord God is with us / Tho darkness may assail," a reminder that God's promises never fail, no matter what challenges we face. The chorus encourages us to sing in praise as we recognize His power and might and His ultimate triumph over evil. 

"Almighty" is a call to each one of us to hold onto our faith, join together in worship, and place our hope in the Lord each and every day of our lives. God never asked us to travel this journey on our own. Not only is He with us, but we also are part of His church, a place with like-minded believers, where we may give and receive support, strengthen each other, praise Him together, and share practical ways that help us grow in faith and see how He is constantly preparing our ways. May this song help you to place your unwavering trust in Him.

(Related scripture: Psalm 121:1-2; Romans 8:31; Psalm 62:5-6)

"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....

'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...

"The Veil" by Joshua Malachi: Knowing God Without Barriers

Joshua Malachi's song, "The Veil," is about our intimacy with God, that has been made possible through Christ's sacrifice on the cross… The song starts with "I enter by your blood // I enter by your name," Christ's sacrifice—His blood and name—is the key that made it possible to approach God. This message is further emphasized with, "I enter by your spirit and the sacrifice you made."   "The veil was torn, that I may know you, I want to know you, Jesus," He removed the barrier between us and God's presence. It's not through our efforts, but through Christ's ultimate sacrifice that we find our way home. It's an open invitation to our Creator!  "We enter by your blood… We enter by your spirit and the sacrifice you made." Note the use of the word "we"! "We" as in everyone, and He makes no exceptions! You and I may know God intimately, because Christ prepared the way. "The veil was tor...
