"Shades Of Grace" by The Well Worship Collective: Thankfulness for God's Unending Mercy


The Well Worship Collective's "Shades of Grace" beautifully describes our belief in God's unwavering mercy and grace, and our thankfulness that He is with us in every moment of our lives. The Well is a home church in Salt Lake City, Utah (USA). Their mission is to engage in the presence of God and lead others (across the earth) into God's presence through worship. 

The Well Worship Collective - Shades Of Grace"Shades of Grace" focuses on God's constant presence and unending mercy. A message about God's promise to us, a promise that is so life-changing that it seems difficult to believe that it is already ours if we accept it. We're reminded that through every era, God's breath and hand have been (and still are) guiding and uplifting us. The lyrics acknowledge that in every miracle and every blessing, we actually see God's hand at work. The declaration in the refrain "God did it" serves as a reminder that through every trial, healing, and redemption, it is always God who is moving on our behalf. We may not be able to see or comprehend His plan or our part in it, but that doesn't mean that His grace is any less. 

May "Shades of Grace" help you to see His grace, recognize His goodness throughout your life in both the big and small moments, and stand tall in the shades of His grace. He is your Heavenly Father, ready to wrap you in His comforting embrace, always with you, and turning everything for good.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:4-5; James 1:17; Psalm 23:4)

"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...
