'Trust' by Olly Kiff (feat. Beth Merill & Kenisha): A Song of Faith and Reliance


Olly Kiff's song "Trust," featuring Beth Merill and Kenisha, started as a solo project back in 2022, inspired by Psalm 62. Olly got stuck and shelved it, but during a songwriting day in London, he teamed up with Beth and Kenisha. Together, they turned something that had been pretty much abandoned back to life and, at the same time, demonstrated that often the power of "we" is greater than the power of "me"! 

Olly Kiff (fet. Beth Merill & Kenisha) - TrustThe same also applies to the central theme of this song, our faith in God. The "me" in each of us can try on our own, but it is when we team up with God, patiently waiting in silence, that we find true strength and hope. The song encourages us to always place our trust in God, to pour out our hearts to Him, and to focus on the "we" by including Him in all parts of your life. God is your rock, salvation, mighty fortress, and refuge. That is the power of "we" with God! 

It doesn't matter what uncertainties you're facing; we will always find peace and security in God. Shift your focus from "me" to "He" to "we" and place your faith in Him. He will never disappoint, because He is our way, our truth, and our hiding place. May this song encourage you to place your trust in the One who never fails.

(Related scripture: Psalm 62:5-6; Isaiah 26:4; Proverbs 3:5-6)

"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....

"Welcome To Your Life" by Howard Gripp: A Fresh Start, Every Morning

What would change if today felt brand new?  Howard Gripp asked himself that same question on a beach, watching waves erase impressions in the sand, making the beach look as new again. He wasn’t planning to write a song. He was just sitting there, reflecting on his own journey, and recalling the day he realized he could leave his past behind and start fresh. That memory became the key message of this song: “every day is an opportunity for a new beginning.”   The lyrics open with Howard standing “out on the ocean’s edge,” the breeze in his head, the waves making “everything so clear.” Clarity like that doesn’t usually come from noise. It comes from stillness. “See your past, like footprints in the sand // Slowly fade as the tide rolls in.” Footprints don’t argue with the tide; they can’t, they’re powerless. They just vanish, one wave at a time.  Psalm 103:12 says the same thing, only louder, and puts it this way: “as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remov...

"Let It Rise - Live" by Hope Worship: When Surrender Becomes Worship

What if surrender opened the door to change?  Some songs ask nothing of you. “Let It Rise — Live” asks everything. Hope Worship wrote this song as a simple invitation that is meant to feel welcoming rather than complicated: ask the Holy Spirit to have His way in you. No hidden agenda, no complex theology lesson. Just an open door for the Holy Spirit.  Hope Worship repeats a line that sounds a bit risky: “Break my heart open.” Why would anyone ask for that? Because a closed heart can’t hold much of anything new. The song builds from that vulnerable request into a rising cry: “Let it rise like incense.” Picture the smoke curling upward, unhurried, unstoppable. That’s what surrendered worship looks like.  Keep that picture of incense in mind as you read Psalm 141:2, “Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” David was offering something real, something costly, and trusting that God would receive it. Your daily...
