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)

"Whoop The Devil" by Destin Dumais: Standing in Christ's Authority

Who gave you the authority to stand firm? Destin Dumais opens his debut single with an amazing sound that excites, gets you up on your feet, and gets you ready to conquer. “Whoop The Devil” is a hard-hitting country-rock song with one clear message: As believers, we hold real authority in Christ! The song starts with a cowboy scene. “Gonna saddle up and ride, ain’t no place you can hide.” Then comes the line that makes an important difference: “Been deputized, authorized.” Nobody appoints himself to this work. The badge was handed over at Calvary. Jesus said it plainly in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Who gives the authority? Jesus does! This kind of confidence never relies on your strength, your mood, or your track record. This confidence rests on His name, and His name only! Does that now mean that our fears will disappear for good? Not always. Destin admits that...

"Faith Like Daniel" by Marlee Smith: Praising God When the World Says No

Who do you trust when everyone disagrees? What do you do when the world says that your God doesn’t matter? Marlee Smith’s energetic pop-rock song, “Faith Like Daniel,” comes with an all-teenage female band behind her, and her response to what the world says is anything but timid. When the world feels overturned, she’ll keep “praising my Father,” even when the world says she shouldn’t. Remember what we read in the Bible about Daniel? Daniel knew that pressure. A royal decree banned prayer to anyone but the king for a period of thirty days. Daniel heard the news, went home, opened his windows, and prayed as he always had. No speeches. No protest. Just steady faith, three times a day. Then came the lions, and what happened that night in the den became a testimony. Scripture says, “No kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Daniel 6:23). Daniel never trusted that his circumstances would be easy. He trusted the One who stood over them. Marlee’s message carries t...

"I’ll Rejoice" by David Dowdell: Finding Joy in God When Plans Fail

Can you praise God when nothing goes right? Empty vines. Failed crops. A barn with no animals. David Dowdell opens his song, “I’ll Rejoice”, with a list of losses that is so complete that it feels as if “there is nothing left at all.” David took his inspiration from the book of Habakkuk and wrote a defiant anthem of praise for anyone whose plans have fallen apart (… we’ve all had that happen to us, one way or another…). The song also asks the question most of us try to avoid: “What if I never get to live the life I wanted?” Will you still trust God when all you have left is “a tired and broken heart” ? Be honest with yourself. Just about everyone has a ready answer for the sunny days, but hardly an answer for the dark ones. Habakkuk didn’t pretend. He saw disaster coming and said so. Still he wrote: “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3:18, ESV) Notice how this verse starts with the word “yet.” His joy didn’t wait for circumstance...
