Compel Worship’s “Sure – Live from Youth Night”: A Song of Unwavering Trust in God’s Faithfulness


In Compel Worship's live rendition of the song "Sure," they bring us a song that we believe will be appreciated by anyone who is wrestling with doubt or uncertainty. The lyrics are inspired by Paul's words in Philippians, reminding us that God isn't just starting something good in our lives—He's also committed to finishing it. This is the promise that keeps coming back throughout the lyrics, creating a paradigm shift that chases doubts away and helps us to find true peace in God.

Compel Worship - Sure - Live from Youth NightThe song is a message of liberation, showing us the best possible way to break free from the lies that hold us captive. The song beautifully describes what it feels like to be enveloped by God's endless and patient love, a love that is so tangible that you can almost feel it wrapping around you as well.

The refrain echoes confidence, not in ourselves, but in the One who never wavers. When life pulls at you, trying to yank you away from the Lord's way, the song gently points you back to the unshakable: Jesus. The song's message is a lifeline to hope, renewal, and eternal belonging.

May this song remind you that His love isn't fleeting—it's a firm foundation, unshaken by the chaos we have created. When doubt creeps into your life, remember His promises and let Him guide you back to wholeness. May you reach out to Him and embrace His grace, trust His timing, and allow Him to complete the beautiful work that He's started in you.

(Related scripture: Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 13:5b-6; Psalm 28:7)

"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...
